Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Borussia M’gladbach will look to recover from a heart-breaking loss to Borussia Dortmund when they take on Hoffenheim on Saturday afternoon. Die Fohlen failed to defend their two-goal lead in the Signal-Iduna-Park clash, with the team dropping to 11th place in the standings, but they are surely capable of making life difficult for Hoffenheim in front of home fans. All Jordan Siebatcheu, Tony Jantschke, Lukas Ullrich, Ko Itakura, Hannes Wolf, Jonas Omlin, and Stefan Lainer are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Hoffenheim, on the other hand, aim to move closer to the Champions League berth, but beating M’gladbach at Borussia-Park is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. As for the away team, midfielder Grischa Promel misses out through suspension, while all Stanley Nsoki, Mergim Berisha, Marco John, and Dennis Geiger are out of contention with injuries.
