Hoffenheim started in the Champions League, however, they were eliminated in the group stage of Europa League just like Hertha. Both teams were also eliminated in the Cup and they only have the championship, where they have the same goal, and these are the positions that lead to European competitions. For now things are not going according to plan and they have badly opened the second part of the season. Hertha has suffered a defeat and two draws, and Hoffenheim recorded a draw and two defeats. Their first mutual duel this season also ended with a draw.

Hertha BSC

Hertha has failed in continuing a positive series from the end of the first part of the season and they are still without a win in the first three rounds of the championship. The goal of this team is to enter on the European scene again, but for now that is not possible and they will have to start playing much better. Hertha has scored only one goal in the last three rounds and that goal was enough for a draw with Borussia Dortmund, while they were defeated with 1-0 in Stuttgart and there was another draw in the last round in Bremen without any goals.

They were fully outplayed in that duel and they can be satisfied with winning one point and coach Dardai could not count on the right back Weiser, so Pekarik played instead. It was the only change in the composition compared to the match with Borussia, while center-back Lustenberger is also having some problems, so Torunarigha will be from the first minute on the field.

Probable lineups Hertha BSC: Kraft – Pekarik, Stark, Torunarigha, Plattenhardt – Skjelbred, Meier – Lazaro, Darida, Kalou – Selke

Hoffenheim

Hoffenheim is not playing very well this season, and it all continued at the beginning of the second part of the championship, so they are still waiting for their first triumph. They only won one point in three rounds played and that was against Werder away, when they took over the lead and failed to retain the advantage. In the previous two rounds they were defeated first from Bayer on their field with 4-1 and then in Munich by Bayern with 5-2. Nine received goals in two games clearly show how bad their game is, although it should be said that they took the lead against Bayern with 2-0 in the brilliant opening of the match, and then completely failed.

After a home defeat from Bayer, coach Nagelsmann did not even change the starting lineup too much and only Uth was expected to replace Szalai in the top of the attack and he was the shooter of the only goal. Now we expect new changes, because Nad Ammir has recovered, so he should be in the team, as well as N.Schulz o the left back, instead of Zuber, while Kramaric could get a chance in the attack.

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

Verdict:

Both teams are playing pretty bad and this match a chance to emerge from the crisis. Hertha is the host and they are playing a bit better than as guests, so we give them a slight advantage, although Hoffenheim may be an unpleasant rival and it is not excluded they play some draw.
