Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
Heidenheim and Hoffenheim square off against each other at Voith-Arena in what is the closing match of Bundesliga round 8. Heidenheim aim to recover from back-to-back defeats to Leipzig and Borussia M’gladbach and they are likely to fight tooth and nail against Hoffenheim. Forward Maximilian Breunig remains in the recovery room, but he should be the only absentee in the home team.
Pellegrino Matarazzo’s troops, on the other hand, aim to build on a 3-1 win over Bochum. Given Hoffenheim’s tendency to maintain their attacking approach, we see strong value in betting on both teams to find the net. As for the away team, all Florian Grillitsch, David Jurasek, Pavel Kaderabek, Grischa Promel, Ihlas Bebou, Finn Ole Becker, and Ozan Kabak miss out with injuries. In their last meeting at the venue the two teams played out a 1-1 draw, which goes in favour of our earlier prediction.
Highlighted Player (Pavel Kaderabek):
Pavel Kaderabek is a Czech Republic defender born on 25 April 1992, who has enjoyed a bright start to his professional career. Coming through the youth ranks at Sparta Prague and gaining some first team experience during a loan spell with Viktoria Zizkov, the right-sided defender was finally able to show what he is capable of during the 2012/2013 season and he didn’t need a lot of time to make the next step in his career.
After scoring impressive 10 goals in 76 league appearances for Sparta Prague, Kaderabek joined Bundesliga side Hoffenheim in the summer of 2015, shortly after he had established himself as a starting right-back in the Czech Republic national team.
The talented footballer helped Repre make it to the Euro 2016 finals by starting 9 qualifying matches, once again proving his killer instinct by scoring two goals. Pavel Kaderabek looks set to become one of leading players of the new generation and a big club move may not be far away either.
