Command Analysis
Borussia Moenchengladbach
Current form
Borussia has not scored a single point in five rounds and occupies the last place in the table. The change of coach as a result did not immediately have a positive effect. Under the leadership of Alexander Blessin, the stallions lost in the last round away to Cologne with a score of 1:2. At the same time, everything is not so bad in the game: more opponents owned the ball (52%), scored 16 shots on goal (seven of them on target). Overall, Borussia scored a draw in that match. So far, the new coach has not been able to fully solve the problems in defense.

Kleindienst, Leszczynski, Castrop, Honora, Itakura and Leopold are injured, Kuhn is questionable.

Hoffenheim
Current form
Hoffenheim is not showing the same results as before at the start of the season. In five rounds, Christian Ilzer's team scored only three points, beating Stuttgart at home (2:1), and occupy the penultimate place in the table. In the last round, the defeat against Hamburg was recorded (2:3). Hoffenheim then played in the Europa League with Besiktas on their own field and lost (2:3), with almost the entire main squad involved, there was no rotation. Thus, at the moment, the series of defeats, taking into account all tournaments, has reached the mark of four matches in which 11 goals were conceded.
Disqualifications and injuries
Heidari and Wimmer are injured, Bernardo will serve his suspension.
Interesting betting trends
Hoffenheim have conceded more than one goal in their last four matches.
In four of the previous five matches, Hoffenheim had not lost by offside
We have two Bundesliga outsiders in front of us. Borussia has no points at all, Hoffenheim scored three points. At the same time, in the line of bookmakers, guests act as favorites, which is hard to agree with.
Christian Ilzer's team, taking into account all the tournaments, lost four matches in a row, and the defense constantly failed. Hoffenheim had a Europa League game against Besiktas last week, where all the leaders were involved, and there may well not be enough freshness for the players today. Borussia in the last round, led by Alexander Blessin, was at least close to a draw with Cologne and today it is quite capable of scoring the first point in the current Bundesliga draw.
Our betting tip is that Borussia will not lose by a factor of 1.80
Borussia and Hoffenheim regularly fail defensively, which is largely why they are at the bottom of the standings. It is hardly worth expecting that today the competitors in the struggle for survival will clearly and confidently win back at their gates.
The second bet is a total of more than 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 1.98
Betting on corners
In four of the last five matches with Hoffenheim, more than 10 innings were played from the corner flag. Today we are waiting for a game with an emphasis on attack. We expect that there will be a lot of corners in the betting tip.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 10.5 with a coefficient of 2.02
