Prediction: 1-0
Hoffenheim
Heidenheim will be aiming to bounce back from a 2-0 loss to Wolfsburg when they take on Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga round 2. The newcomers are eager to register their first ever Bundesliga triumph and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field in Saturday’s clash. Omar Traore is likely to replace Marnon Busch in the starting XI after the 28-year-old limped off with injury in the season opener, while both Lennard Maloney and Elidon Qenaj remain in the recovery room.
Hoffenheim, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-1 loss to Freiburg and given their well-known difficulties on the travels, we are tempted to bet on the home side. All Wouter Weghorst, Bambase Conte, Dennis Geiger, and Umut Tohumcu are out of contention with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the visiting team ahead of Matchday 2.
