German Bundesliga TSG Hoffenheim VS Borussia Monchengladbach Tips

Hoffenheim had lots of problems in European competitions. They are for first time there and lost twice against Liverpool in Champions League playoffs, but went into Europa League group stage. There lost in the first two matches vs Braga with 1-2 and Ludogorets with 1-2, but finally got first win in Europe after 3-1 over Basaksehir. In Bundesliga are 4th in the table with 16 points or 4 behind first place, so still in the battle for title. But in the last couple of weeks are not in best form after 3 consecutive games without a win in league. In this period lost vs Freiburg with 2-3 away at home, also finished draws with Augsburg 2-2 and Wolfsburg 1-1. In midweek lost in Cup vs Wolfsburg with 0-1, so right now are not in best form.

Hoffenheim - Baumann - Kaderabek, Akpoguma, Vogt, N. Schulz - Geiger - Demirbay, Nad. Amiri - Kramaric - Uth, Wagner

 

Borussia Moenchengladbach are 8th in the table with 14 points or only 2 behind their opponent in this game. In midweek eliminated Dusseldorf in DFB Pokal after 1-0 away at home. In Bundesliga are very unstable with 2 wins and 2 loses from last 4 games. They played 2 very strong games against Werder Bremen away at home and won with 2-1, also against Hannover and won with 2-1, but made huge loses in this period vs Leverkusen with 1-5 and Dortmund with 1-6. Still lots of injury concerns with Benes, Strobl and Villalba injured and out, while Bobadilla, Doucoure, Drmic and Yeboah are all doubts.

Borussia M - Sommer - Elvedi, Ginter, Vestergaard, Wendt - Kramer, Zakaria - Hazard, F. Johnson - Stindl, Raffael

 

After all, Hoffenheim are not in their best form after only 1 win from last 5 matches in all competitions, while Gladbach are very unstable with 2 wins and 2 huge loses from last 4 Bundesliga games, so here I expect an interesting game with lots of goals.
