Hoffenheim is hosting Eintracht Frankfurt at PreZero Arena in round 14 of the German Bundesliga. Hoffenheim has been playing really well lately, and they have won 4 of their last 5 games. Eintracht is still hot and cold, but the good sign is they are scoring more goals as of late.
Thanks to this great streak, Hoffenheim has climbed the standings to 6th place with 20 points, 27 scored goals, and 20 conceded goals. In their last 2 Bundesliga games, Hoffenheim has scored 8 goals while conceding 3 goals, and they have won both of those games. Bebou is the leading goalscorer for Hoffenheim with 5 goals, while Kramaric added 7 assists. In their last game against Furth on the road, Hoffenheim has had 50% of ball possession, a fantastic 11 shots on goal, 10 corner kicks, 5 big chances created, and 78% of the correct passes. Defensively, this wasn’t a great game for Hoffenheim, they conceded 3 goals against one of the weakest teams in the league, but they did score 6 goals, and that was enough for a nice 3-6 win. Hoffenheim is not playing in the Europa League this season and playing only in Bundesliga is better for them because they don’t have the depth to compete in multiple competitions.
Eintracht is also in great form, they are undefeated in their last 6 games while winning 4 of those 6 games. In Bundesliga, Eintracht is still low in the standings, in 12th place, but in the Europa League they are at the top of the table with 11 points, and they will be advancing to the next stage. Kostic is the leading goalscorer for Eintracht with 3 goals, but he has also added 6 assists. I think Eintracht is on the rise, they are playing better and better, but pretty much every game they play is being decided in the last minutes. In their last game against Union Berlin, Eintracht has had 54% of ball possession, 2 shots on goal, 7 corner kicks, 3 big chances created, and 78% of the correct passes. In the 62nd minute, the score was 1-1, but Eintracht has scored a winning goal in the 95th minute. The final result was 2-1. Eintracht will be advancing to the next stage in the Europa League, which means they can now freely focus on Bundesliga.
The trends are mixed here, and both teams are in solid form, especially Hoffenheim who is scoring a lot of goals. This should be an exciting game, I think we will see a lot of great soccer and a lot of chances. I’m taking goals in this one.
