Hoffenheim vs Hamburger SV Prediction & Betting Tips (13 December)

After coming very close to relegation to the 2.Bundesliga which would have been an industrial disaster, Hoffenheim is rebounding in a very good way this year. This team is indeed at the gates of the top 4 qualifying for the Champions League, in 5th position, with a delay of 5 points on 4th place Bayer Leverkusen after its bad operation carried out last weekend against Dortmund 2-0. Before that, the TSG maintained an excellent dynamic since it had achieved 3 successes in 4 days against Wolfsburg 2-3, Leipzig 3-1, Mainz 1-1 and finally Augsburg 3-0. Opposite, Hamburg has only one very clear objective this season: to secure its maintenance as quickly as possible after having spent very long years at the lower level.

The promoted teams are currently on time in terms of their passing times since they are in 13th place in the ranking with 15 points on the clock, 4 more than the first relegated team, Heidenheim. Hooked by Dortmund 1-1 and beaten by Augsburg 1-0, the HSV players then went on to win two victories against Stuttgart 2-1 and Werder Bremen 3-2 last week. In the meantime, they still saw their road end in the German Cup against Holstein Kiel 1-1, 2-4 Tab. 

As is often the case, Hoffenheim cannot count on all of its strength for this game. Indeed, defender Behrens and summer recruit Machida are still on the floor at the moment. Otherwise, Christian Ilzer can still field a large majority of his executives. Among them, we can of course cite the influential Asllani (5 goals, 1 assist), Lemperle (4 goals), Touré (2 goals, 3 assists), Kramaric (2 goals, 3 assists in the Bundesliga), Prömel (4 goals, 1 assist) and finally Burger (3 goals, 2 assists) who are all capable of causing problems for the opposing defense. On the HSV side, former Rennes defender Omari is on the flank in company of the potential starting center forward Glätzel.

Finally, young winger Rossing-Lelesiit is no longer suspended but is nursing an injury which should keep him away from the field until January. With his 3 goals to his credit, striker Rayan Philippe is still the most decisive player on this team but he hasn't scored in a while. He was also joined at the top of the scorers rankings for this team by midfielder Lokonga (3 goals). Also pay attention to the striker Dompé (2 goals) and the Dane Poulsen who scored the winning goal last week against Werder. The probable line-ups for Hoffenheim – Hamburg:
