TSG Hoffenheim and VfL Wolfsburg are two teams that are on the hunt for European football. They face each other on Sunday.
TSG Hoffenheim:
TSG Hoffenheim has chosen a good period to be in top form. The club from Sinsheim has been almost unbeatable lately. Earlier this season, Julian Nagelsmann’s team dropped unnecessary points due to many draws, but that has long come to an end. Because of the many victories, even the top four, and with that the Champions League of next year, have come back within reach. Hoffenheim is now three points behind number four Eintracht Frankfurt.
“Of course we would like to enter the Champions League, but we have no extra pressure,” Nagelsmann said this week. ‘The team plays with joy and handles the situation well. Nagelsmann has to form a line-up for Sunday without Kerem Dermirbay, who is suspended after his fifth yellow card. Still there are enough options. The coach can also choose from several players in the attack.
VfL Wolfsburg:
VfL Wolfsburg has only four points less than Hoffenheim after thirty games. It is therefore an excellent season for Wolfsburg. After a few moderate years, in which there was even fear of relegation, Wolfsburg delivers a great performance this season. Placement for European football would complete the success story. Die Wölfe are currently ninth. The first seven places in the Bundesliga are good for a European ticket.
In the previous round, Wolfsburg only started playing on Monday. Wout Weghorst and his teammates had one point left in the home match against Eintracht Frankfurt. John Brooks equalized in the final minute, after Wolfsburg had fallen behind against the relationship. Trainer Bruno Labbadia has more or less played with the same team all year round. Many changes are not expected before Sunday. Daniel Ginczek has recently become available again, after a period in which he was absent.
PREDICTION: Hoffenheim to win @ 1,47
