TSG Hoffenheim vs FC Koln
TSG Hoffenheim was given five days to prepare a duel against FC Koln. They met on the 28th week of the Bundesliga. The match is sure to run hot because they are competing directly in the standings.
For a while, TSG Hoffenheim is still ahead in 9th place with 36 points, two points behind FC Koln below. The distance has not changed from the previous week because they both won draws against Paderborn (1-1) and Fortuna Dusseldorf (2-2).
In other words, tomorrow’s match is a second chance for TSG Hoffenheim to maintain position. The meeting record has been the only mainstay with three consecutive wins since 2017 (0-3, 0-6, 1-2). This achievement is the last hope after this year won only once as a host, namely when against Bayer Leverkusen (2-1), then losing streak to Wolfsburg (2-3), Bayern Munich (0-6), and Hertha Berlin ( 0-3).
Meanwhile, FC Koln will try to bury their bad traditions armed with two wins in away games this year, namely against Hertha Berlin (0-5) and Paderborn (1-2), although the rest lost to Borussia Dortmund (5-1) and Borussia Monchengladbach (2-1). Markus Gisdol’s troops were judged to have better momentum because the coach had dealt with TSG Hoffenheim before being fired, and currently managed to bring FC Koln away from the red zone. So, they are predicted to be able to make a surprise at the Rhein-Neckar Arena.
Our Prediction: Under 2.5 goals
