Hoffenheim vs Hertha: Hoffe to extend their home winning streak

Round 10 of the German Bundesliga will open with the match between Hoffenheim and Hertha. Quite an interesting encounter of two neighbors in the standings, and the bookmakers side with the home team here.

Hoffenheim is quite an unstable team, and the results prove it. Before the international break, the Blue-and-White team beat Wolfsburg 3-1 and lost 1-3 to Stuttgart. After the international break, Hoffe thrashed Köln 5-0 at home and Holstein 5-1 in the German Cup, but in Munich, they lost to the German champion with a score of 0-4. As a result, Hoffenheim is 11th in the standings with 11 points. The home stats are 9th in the division, although many teams have already played five games, while Hoffe has had only four.

It wasn’t long ago that Hertha was in the relegation zone, but currently, the Berlin team is above Hoffe, sitting 10th. Hertha won their last three matches, against Eintracht and Mönchenladbach in the national championship and Preussen Munster in the German Cup. Obviously, the capital team has picked up some good form, but it is questionable whether that will be enough to bring the points from Sinsheim. Hertha’s away stats are sixth-best in the division, with two wins and three losses in five games.

• Hoffenheim: Baumgartner, Bicakcic, John, Kaderabek, Hübner.
• Hertha: Klunter, Torunarigha, Stark.

Hertha is quite a convenient opponent for Hoffenheim. Their last face-offs saw the Berliners win only once, with 4 victories for Hoffe. After losing to Mainz, Hoffenheim won three home games in a row, scoring as many as 13 goals during the time. Do not forget that Hoffenheim has the task to return to the European Cup zone, i.e. to take at least 6th position in the table. As for Hertha, we can also say that the Berlin side wants to go to Europe, but 10th place looks decent for the Old Lady after sitting in the relegation zone for a while. We believe that the home team has an advantage in terms of motivation. Here are the betting options for the upcoming match: W1 for 1.65, ITO1 (2) for 2.17, W1+TO (2.5) for 2.30.
