Hoffenheim vs. Frankfurt
The Bundesliga is also slowly but surely heading towards the winter break and the 14th matchday awaits us next weekend. On Saturday at 15:30 two of the teams currently in the best form meet with Hoffenheim and Frankfurt. After a disastrous start to the season, Eintracht has caught itself and regularly decides games in the final minutes or in injury time. Only on Sunday did the SGE score the winning goal against Union in the 95th minute. They have achieved this feat in 5 of the last 6 games and have moved up to 12th place in the league with 3 wins. This means that the international places are within reach again.
TSG, on the other hand, are on a real run and are now in 5th place in the table. Last weekend, the team celebrated a fantastic 6:3 victory against Greuther Fürth and in general, Hoffenheim has won 4 of the past 5 games. Find out who we think has the better cards in this exciting duel in this Hoffenheim – Frankfurt tip.

Hoffenheim Form & Balance Check
After another inconsistent start to the season, TSG have stabilised extremely in recent weeks. They have won 3 of their last 4 games and are convincing primarily on the offensive. They won 6:3 against Fürth last weekend and presented themselves as extremely effective and strong on the counterattack. But the defensive problems should not be forgotten either, because Sebastian Hoeneß’ team had extreme problems with the high pressing of Greuther Fürth. They should have a solution ready for the next game, as the SGE is once again a class stronger than the Franconians.
Hoffenheim home strength
First and foremost, TSG’s home record is enormously strong. They have scored 13 points from 6 home games so far, with an average of almost 2.5 goals per game. Hoffenheim have won all of their last 4 home games, conceding only one goal. In general, the performances have become more and more stable over the course of the season and it seems as if the team is finally playing up to its full potential. We are curious to see where the Hoffenheim team will go this season.
Hoffenheim Facts & Analysis
– Hoffenheim have scored 17 goals in their last 5 home compulsory matches.
– In the home table they are on the 7th place
– Top scorer is Bebou with 5 goals
Frankfurt form & balance check
You can’t really make heads or tails of Eintracht so far this season. Hardly a game is really confidently led, yet they have in recent weeks due to their irrepressible will repeatedly won the games late. In an incredible 5 of the last 6 competitive games, the SGE scored a goal in injury time. Even against Union Berlin, they scored a fantastic header at the final whistle, which improved their position in the table even more. Even though they are “only” in 12th place, the gap to 6th place is only 2 points.
Glasner and Frankfurt – does it fit?
Not a few have questioned the chemistry between coach and team, but based on the last few games, one can confidently speak of an intact relationship between coach and team. Even if the performances are still not stable and convincing over 90 minutes, the team fights until the end and has rewarded itself accordingly in the past games. Above all, Filip Kostic can once again prove his enormous value for the SGE. He is by far Eintracht’s best scorer.
Frankfurt facts & analysis
– Frankfurt have won their last 3 matches played in Bundesliga.
– In 9 of the last 10 competitive matches, Eintracht have conceded at least one goal
– The win against Union on the last matchday was the first home win of the season
Predicted line-up – last update on 2 December 2021
After the gala against Fürth, Baumann and Kramaric may return to the starting eleven. In general, Sebastian Hoeneß has many alternatives for the outsides. However, Rutter and Bebou will certainly start after their goals against the last team in the table. We also don’t expect any major changes in the visitors’ line-up after the win over Union. Hinteregger may return to central defence, but that’s about it.
