Hoffenheim
Saturday’s football match at Hugo-Koch-Stadion in Eppingen pits together Hoffenheim and Queens Park Rangers. Hoffenheim recorded a routine 3-0 win over Unterhaching in their first warm-up game of pre-season, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry in the clash against the Championship side. Andrej Kramaric, who won the silver medal with Croatia at the 2018 FIFA World Cup finals, is likely to be rested against QPR, but coach Julian Nagelsmann has a number of high-profile footballers to choose from. The Hoops quickly bounced back from a shocking 3-0 loss to Charlton, with the team rolling over Staines Town (7-0), while recording a hard-fought 1-0 win over AFC Wimbledon. However, seeing that QPR face Hoffenheim in Germany in Saturday’s friendly, we are tempted to put our money on the Bundesliga side, who proved their worth in the 3-0 crushing of Unterhaching.
