Hoffenheim Form & Balance Check
The TSG from Hoffenheim has to accept the reproach of increasingly declining after the successful start into the new season. From the last seven games in the Bundesliga, there was only one victory (3:0 at Schalke). During the week, Hoffenheim had to play in Frankfurt and TSG could not win at Hesse either. In the end, the score was 2:4 and especially their own defence did a weak job. Coach Andre Breitenreiter’s men were already trailing 0:3 after a short time. The fourth game in a row without a win has seen Hoffenheim slip into no-man’s land in the table.
Still not doing well at home
Now an extremely difficult task awaits us in the form of VfL Wolfsburg. Especially from the point of view that TSG have not yet been convincing in front of their own fans. In the first seven home games Hoffenheim comes from ten points. Three victories are offset by three defeats and one draw. The goal difference is also completely balanced at 10:10. In addition to the home weakness, the offensive is also a problem area for TSG. The 21 goals scored after 15 matchdays are truly not the world and with just four goals, Dabbur is Hoffenheim’s top scorer.

Wolfsburg form & balance check
Who would have thought that just a few weeks ago? The Wolves are back in the thick of the fight for the international places. Coach Niko Kovac’s team has not lost any of its last eight games, including the 2nd round in the DFB Cup. The Wolves also stayed on track during the week. Their opponent on Tuesday evening was Borussia Dortmund. In the end, they won 2:0 against the Black and Yellows, which was more than okay. Wolfsburg ended a horror series with the victory against BVB. The victory was the first success after 14 games in a row without a win. The Wolves can take a big step towards Europe with their 22 points and a win at TSG on Saturday.
Defensive suddenly stands secure
Even their own fans will be surprised at how well the defence is standing at the moment. Neither against Bochum and Mainz, nor Dortmund did the Lower Saxons concede a goal. Coach Niko Kovac has managed to find a good balance of offence and defence within a very short time. The Wolves will press on the accelerator again in Hoffenheim. If we take a closer look at the performances away from home, the yield is still a bit expandable. The eight points currently only mean tenth place in the away table.
Wolfsburg facts & analysis
– Wolfsburg are in 8th place in the table with 22 points.
– VfL last won with 2.0 against Dortmund
– Since 8 games without defeat
Predicted line-up – last update on 10 November 2022
The TSG from Hoffenheim will be looking to get back to winning ways after last going four games in a row without a win. In order to achieve this, coach Andre Breitenreiter will once again play with a three-man defence. In the defence, captain Hübner is still out. Prömel will also be missing for a while after his injury. In attack, too, the personnel cover is now very thin. Dabbur and Bebou are also out.
VfL Wolfsburg will try to get the next win with a 4-5-1. After the injury of Lukas Nmecha, Wind will start in attack. Otherwise, true to the motto ‘never change a winning team’, everything remains the same.
