Hoffenheim vs Wolfsburg Prediction & Betting Tips (11 January)

This 2024-2025 season is far from being a smooth ride at the moment for Hoffenheim. Not at the level of the expectations of the leaders and its supporters, this team is struggling in the second half of the table, in 15th position, with 4 units ahead of the play-off. And even the arrival of the new coach, Christian Ilzer, in November did not succeed in reversing the situation. TSG has only won one of its last 8 matches in the league and none in the last 4 days played against Mainz 2-0 , Friborg 1-1 , Dortmund 1-1 and Borussia Mönchengladbach 1- 2. At the same time, Hoffe is off to a bad start in the Europa League where he only occupies 26th place in the rankings before the last 2 days.

Unlike his opponent of the day, the Wolfsburg club is showing itself much more serious this year than it was not last year when it did not go very far from relegation. If it is only in 11th position in the ranking for the moment, the WfL is only 6 lengths behind the podium and it can quite aim to win a European place in the spring if it begins a good series. This is also what the Wolves were able to do by aligning 4 consecutive successes against Heidenheim 1-3 , Union Berlin 1-0, RB Leipzig 1-5 and Mainz 4-3. However, Lovro Majer's partners were cut short before the holidays by losing to Freiburg 3-2 then to Borussia Dortmund 1-3.

The Hoffenheim infirmary is still full for this first match of 2025 even if many returns are planned this month. Among the players still on the flank, we can cite the former Niçois Nsoki, the defenders Arthur Chaves, Kaderabek and Kabak, the midfielders Prömel, Becker and Tohumcu and the attackers Moerstedt, Bülter (4 goals), and Bebou. The recruit Lenz is hoped for in the same way as the now ex Lyonnais Gift Orban, who also arrived this winter. With 6 goals to his credit, the experienced striker Kramaric remains of course the best offensive element of this formation, ahead of the Czech Hlozec (3 goals) and the Dane Bruun Larsen (2 goals).

Wolfsburg also knows its share of absences in this moment. Replacement goalkeeper Klinger, important defenders Rogerio and Bornauw, potential starting midfielders Paredes, Majer (2 goals) and Vranckx as well as striker Bialek should not be traveling to the PreZero Arena. That said, the Wolves should be able to rely on their formidable attackers like the Portuguese Tiago Tomas (5 goals), the Algerian Amoura (5 goals) and the Dane used as a luxury joker, Wind who planted 6 times so far in the championship.

• Summary: TSG Hoffenheim is going head to head with VfL Wolfsburg starting on 11 Jan 2025 at 14:30 UTC at PreZero Arena stadium, Sinsheim city, Germany. The match is a part of the Bundesliga .
