Football Results

Even though both teams are currently below European positions, this duel can certainly be called a fight for placement in Europa League and it was expected from Borussia and Hoffenheim. In the second half of the season Borussia has even failed and they only celebrated twice, while they are without a triumph in the previous two games. Hoffenheim has recently raised its form and they only lost once in the previous six duels, with two wins in a row. In the first part of the season Borussia has mastered Hoffenheim as guest with 3-1.

Borussia M’gladbach

Borussia is playing very bad in the second part of the season to fight for survival, if we only look at this part and in the previous seven rounds they have only one triumph but with four points won. They had a series of four consecutive defeats and they have ended it with a guest victory against Hannover with a score of 1-0, while they two rounds ago in their field against Werder dropped a 2-0 lead and had to contend with 2-2.

In the last round they played a derby against Bayer in Leverkusen and were defeated with 2-0, with the proviso that they were fully outplayed. Coach Hecking has sent two new players to the field against Bayern in Leverkusen and Jantschke took the spot on the right back and Grifo was in midfield. It did not help, and now we expect new changes, while Wendt returns to the left back, with the proviso that they would be without center-back Vestergaard. Hofmann should be back in midfield, while Raffael should return in the attack.

Probable lineups Borussia M’gladbach: Sommer – Jantschke, Ginter, Elvedi, Wendt – Zakaria, Kramer(Cuisance) – Hofmann, T.Hazard – Raffael, Stindl

Hoffenheim

Hoffenheim has definitely improved the form and they were defeated only by Schalke in the previous six rounds. They still have two draws, with three victories, two of which are consecutive in the previous two rounds. After Gelsenkirchen, they played a weak draw against Freiburg on their field, and they improved it all by winning 2-0 against Augsburg. In the last round, they provided a good resistance to Wolfsburg and celebrated with 3-0 at home.

They did not score any goals in the previous two games, and besides Kramaric, who scored goals against Freiburg and Augsburg, Gnabry was also great in the last round with one goal and one assist in the match in which they were completely outplayed Wolfsburg. Coach Nagelsmann made several changes in the team after Freiburg, but after the triumph in Augsburg, he did not change anything and it was logical. They played a good game, however, their midfielder Geiger is injured and they are now subjected to at least one change and Nad.Amiri could be among starters after a long time, since Demirbay is still injured.

Probable lineups 1899 Hoffenheim: Baumann – Akpoguma, Vogt, B.Hubner – Kaderabek, N.Schulz – Grillitsch – Nad.Amiri, Rupp – Gnabry, Kramaric

Verdict:

Borussia has poor results lately, even though they did not play all matches badly, so we expect them to record a little better result in this match, despite the fact that Hoffenheim is in a much better form at this moment.
