Hoffenheim vs Frankfurt – Preview and betting tips

Hoffenheim and Frankfurt will be face to face in the opening game of the Bundesliga 15th fixture. The game is scheduled today from 19:30, UK Time, and it is a 1X2 one, anything being possible after what we saw in the past few weeks.

Hoffenheim had an impressive start of the season, without defeat in the first nine fixtures. After that, they ticked a victory and four defeats, being in a very bad form right now. The home team is on the 8th place in Bundesliga, with 20 points and a 21-22 goal difference. When it comes about home games, Hoffenheim have lost only one match in the last eight montsh, 3-4 against Koln one month ago.

Frankfurt‘s form increased in the past few weeks, proof that they are coming after three wins in a row. They are now on the 7th place in Bundesliga, with 21 points and a better goal difference than the Hoffenheim’s one, scoring 27 goals and conceding 26. Frankfurt still have some problems with the defence, having the worst one of the first 14 position in Germany, with almost two goals conceded per game.

Hoffenheim vs Frankfurt probable lineups:
Hoffenheim (4-2-3-1): Baumann – Beck, Sule, Bicakcic, Kim – Schwegler, Polanski – Volland, Firmino, Rudy – Modeste.
Frankfurt (4-3-1-2): Hildebrand – Chandler, Russ, Anderson, Oczipka – Aigner, Hasebe, Inui – Stendera – Seferovic, Meier.

Prediction: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.40
The odds are not so high for this bet, but we expect a spectacular game, considering that both teams have a good attacking force, while their defence struggled so far. Three of the last four meetings ended with over 2,5 results.
