Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Hoffenheim will be aiming to make amends for a heavy 4-0 loss to Bayern Munchen when they host Hertha Berlin to their PreZero Arena. Hoffenheim have been producing excellent display on home soil of late, with the team rolling over both Wolfsburg (3-1) and Koln (5-0). Sebastian Hoeness’ troops aim to climb to the top half of the table, and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Friday’s clash.
Even though all Akpoguma, Kaderabek, John, Bicakcic, and Hubner are likely to miss the game with injuries, home win should be considered as Hoffenheim have been scoring goals for fun in front of home fans. The capital club, on the other hand, have already suffered three defeats on the road in the 2021/2022 Bundesliga campaign, which is yet another reason why we are going to put our money on the hosts. All Niklas Stark, Jordan Torunarigha, and Lukas Klunter are out of contention with injuries.
