We have a full round of fixtures to enjoy in the German Bundesliga this week including the meeting between Hoffenheim and Koln. The game will take place at the PreZero Arena and will be played on Wednesday the 27th of May. The hosts begin the week sitting in 9th place on 36 points while the visitors are just one place below them with 34 points to their name.
Hoffenheim come into the match having been held to a 1-1 draw at Paderborn on the weekend. Hoffenheim took the lead in the game after just 4 minutes but quickly conceded an equaliser and could not force a second goal. That result means Hoffenheim have failed to win any of their last 7 Bundesliga games and any of their last 8 in all competitions.
In the Bundesliga, there have been defeats at Freiburg and at home against Wolfsburg, Bayern Munich and Hertha Berlin. The last two defeats have seen them concede 9 goals without reply. You must go back to the victory over Bayer Leverkusen at home on the 1st of February to find the last time Hoffenheim won a competitive match.
Trends show Hoffenheim have drawn 3 of their last 5 matches in all competitions and have failed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last 9 games. Both teams have scored in 7 of the last 9 home matches and in each of their last 7 at home in all competitions there have been over 2.5 goals scored.
Koln make the trip to the PreZero Arena having been held to a 2-2 draw at home by Fortuna Dusseldorf on the weekend. Things were looking bad as Koln were 2-0 down with just a couple of minutes remaining on the clock but they managed to score 2 goals, with the equaliser coming in the 91st minute. That result means Koln have drawn both of their games since the resumption of the Bundesliga 2-2 following the draw with Mainz.
Koln have been difficult to beat in recent Bundesliga games and have lost only one of their last 6 matches. However, they have failed to win any of their last 3 games and prior to the two recent draws, Koln were defeated 2-1 at Borussia Monchengladbach.
Trends show Koln have managed to score at least one goal in each of their last 9 matches in all competitions. In addition, they have drawn 8 of their last 16 meetings with Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga.
Team news and Hoffenheim are without the injured Ishak Belfodil plus have doubts over the fitness of Sargis Adamyan and Andrej Kramaric. Munas Dabbur is fit and could start the game in attack along with Jacob Bruun Larsen.
Koln travel without Marcel Risse who is injured plus have doubts over Rafael Czichos and Niklas Hauptmann. Sebastian Bornauw is back from injury but may be forced to settle for a place on the bench.
This has the makings of being a very entertaining game with both teams finding the back of the net. It is difficult to split them and we could see a draw and over 2.5 goals scored.
