Hoffenheim VfL Wolfsburg match preview

Both teams are on the sidelines, with the proviso that Hoffenheim is on the edge of European positions and they are currently seventh, while Wolfsburg is on the edge of the relegation zone, with the same number of points as the team that goes in the playoffs for survival. It can be said that Hoffenheim plays in line with expectations, but they are still weaker than last season, and Wolfsburg has again failed and they are big disappointment. The host of this game is playing changeable recently but with only one defeat in five rounds and Wolfsburg has no triumphs in the same period. In the first part of the season they have played 1-1.

Hoffenheim

The start of the second part of the championship was rather bad for Hoffenheim, but now it looks much better and they are back in the fight for Europa League, although they are four points behind the sixth ranked Leipzig. In the previous five rounds they were only defeated once and that was against Schalke away, but there are two draws, of which certainly the worst is the one with Freiburg two rounds ago. In the last round, they finally started playing better and celebrated as guests in Augsburg with 2-0.

The hero of the triumph was Kramaric, who also scored against Freiburg, so it can be said he is in great shape. This is, of course, very important because they were left without the first striker Wagner who moved to Bayern this winter. Coach Nagelsmann made a few changes after the draw with Freiburg, and N.Schulz and Rupp jumped in, but Rupp should now be back on the bench because they will probably play with more offensive Szalai.

Probable lineups 1899 Hoffenheim: Baumann – Akpoguma, Vogt, B.Hubner – Kaderabek, N.Schulz – Grillitsch – Gnabry, Geiger, Kramaric – Szalai

VfL Wolfsburg

The new negative series of five rounds without a win has brought the “Wolves” again to a very unenviable situation and they can only console themselves that they are at a safe distance from the last two positions that directly lead to lower rank. When it comes to playoffs, they have already experienced that so it will not be anything new, if they have to keep their elite rank status in this way. As they play now, it is very possible, because the change of coach does not help much either. With Bruno Labbed on the bench, they have managed to score a point in Mainz, but they were defeated in the last round from Bayer with 2-1.

In Mainz they were saved by goalkeeper Casteels, while Bayer has completely outplayed them. Arnold has returned after the suspension, and Labbadia has unexpectedly left Mallie on the bench, and put Mehmedi in the team isnetad, who recently arrived from Leverkusen. He has scored a goal against his former, so he might get another chance and may be a starter again, while William will not certainly be able to perform due to suspension, so G.Itter goes to the left back.

Probable lineups VfL Wolfsburg: Casteels – Verhaegh, Bruma, Knoche, G.Itter – Guilavogui, Arnold – Brekalo, Didavi, Malli – Origi

Verdict:

Hoffenheim plays better this season, and he is currently in a much better form than Wolfsburg, however, every player needs a point and they somehow succeed in scoring a goal in every game lately, so we expect them to do so now, while Hoffenheim definitely should score now.
