Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
PreZero Arena will host Tuesday’s Bundesliga game between Hoffenheim and Darmstadt. The hosts aim to recover from a 3-1 loss to Leipzig and they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course in the national championship. Even though all Julian Justvan, Diadie Samassekou, Wouter Weghorst, Bambase Conte, Mergim Berisha, Marco John, and Dennis Geiger are out of contention for the hosts, home win should be considered.
The Lilywhites, on the other hand, do not seem to be competitive at this level, with the team collecting only nine points in total this term. The rock-bottom side are on a three-game losing run in the Bundesliga and we do not believe that they are capable of spoiling Hoffenheim’s party at PreZero Arena. In their last meeting at the venue Hoffenheim defeated Darmstadt 2-0 and given the number of injuries in the away team, we predict that the hosts are going to pick up all three points from the match.
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.
