Hoffenheim
Union Berlin and Hoffenheim square off against each other at Stadion An der Alten Forsterei in what promises to be a close Bundesliga encounter. The capital club aim to bounce back from a 3-0 loss to Borussia Dortmund, but Saturday’s game will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Forward Livan Burcu remains on the sidelines with an ankle problem, while Diogo Leite is a major doubt. Midfielder Woo-Yeong Jeong is pushing for his first start of the season.
Hoffenheim, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 3-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt. As both sides will go for a win in the round 3 clash, both teams to score betting option should be considered. The likes of Koki Machida, Stanley N’Soki, Adam Hlozek, and Valentin Gendrey are all expected to miss out with injuries for the visiting team.
