Match Time & Date:

18:00
Prediction: 2-1
Hoffenheim
All eyes will be on Volkswagen Arena when Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim face each other in an all-Bundesliga clash in the German Cup last 16. The Wolves are on a three-game winning run in the national championship and they must be high on confidence following a thrilling 5-1 win over Leipzig. A man to watch in the home team will be Algeria international Mohamed Amoura, who scored a brace at the weekend, while the likes of Rogerio, Majer, Paredes, Vranckx, Klinger, Bornauw, and Bialek remain in the recovery room.
Hoffenheim, on the other hand, failed to impress in a 2-0 loss to Mainz and given their difficulties on the road, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Wolfsburg. The away team’s injury list is pretty long as well, including the likes of Bebou, Becker, Bulter, Grillitsch, Kabak, Lenz, and Promel.
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.
Highlighted Team (Wolfsburg):
Wolfsburg are a German football club founded in the aftermath of the World War II (1945). Die Wolfe (The Wolves) wear green and white shirts and they play their home games at Volkswagen Arena. The capacity of the stadium is 30,000 and it was opened on 13 December, 2002.
It is well known that German car manufacturer Volkswagen are the club’s main sponsors. Wolfsburg won the Bundesliga trophy in 2009 and the likes of Edin Dzeko, Grafite and Zvjezdan Misimovic were part of the club’s golden generation.
You should bear in mind that Grafite and Dzeko scored 54 goals between each other in the 2008/2009 Bundesliga campaign and that the team clinched the trophy thanks to a 5-1 win over Werder Bremen on 23 May, 2009. Die Wolfe won the German Cup trophy in 2015, with the team beating star-studded Borussia Dortmund 3-1 in the title game. Wolfsburg are a team that has no bitter rivals in German football.
