Prediction: 1-1
Wolfsburg
Wolfsburg will be aiming to build on back-to-back wins over Heidenheim and Koln when they face Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga round 3. The Wolves made a promising start to the season, but they need to keep on making progress if they are to represent German in European competitions next term. Hoffenheim defenders should have Denmark forward Jonas Wind at bay as the 24-year-old has already netted four goals in the new Bundesliga campaign. The visitors will be without Nmecha, Ambros, Fischer, and Lange in Saturday’s encounter.
The hosts, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Freiburg, with the team beating Heidenheim 3-2 on the road. Hoffenheim are tough to beat at home and despite Wolfsburg’s splendid start to the season, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. The likes of Bambase Conte, Dennis Geiger, and Umut Tohumcu are sidelined with injuries, for the home team.
