SpVgg Greuther Fürth vs. TSG Hoffenheim
In the Bundesliga, Saturday presents Hoffenheim with a great opportunity to move further up the table and thus into the top flight of the league. Even though TSG are currently only greeting from 10th place in the table, the current table constellation is such that 4th place is only 4 points away. Last Saturday they won 2:0 against RB Leipzig. In order to bag the next three points, the Sinsheimers now have to beat Fürth.
Greuther Fürth are already down in last place in the table and have lost 10 Bundesliga games in a row. The promoted team is not fit for the Bundesliga. Week after week, the cloverleaf goes empty-handed. The only point Fürth managed to secure was a 1-1 draw against Bielefeld on Matchday 2. Since then, coach Leitl’s team has been eagerly awaiting points. Everything you need to know about this match can be found in our Fürth – Hoffenheim betting tip.

Fürth Form & Balance Check
Greuther Fürth are still in last place in the table. The promoted team has been carrying the red lantern since the first matchday. Even after 12 match days, the promoted team does not seem to be able to keep up in the highest German league. Only against Arminia Bielefeld on matchday 2 did Fürth manage to win a point. It is now 10 games in a row in which the cloverleaf has had to leave the pitch as a loser. Last week they suffered a heavy 4:0 defeat in Gladbach.
Leitl is at a loss
Of course it’s a question of quality when you look at the cloverleaf squad. Hardly any financial resources and players who are only suitable for the Bundesliga with a lot of goodwill. Normally, promoted teams get points through compactness and teamwork – but Fürth get nothing. Coach Stefan Leitl is running out of arguments. At some point the ball has to go into the net for the winning goal. But it’s not like that. Fürth is technically and tactically a single deficit.
Fürth facts & analysis
– Down in 18th place in the table.
– Still winless after 12 games
– Fürth lost 11 of 12 Bundesliga games
Hoffenheim form & balance check
You can also describe TSG Hoffenheim as a wonder package again this season. The Sinsheim side were unable to build on their home win over Hertha BSC and promptly lost 2-0 at promoted Bochum. That’s why many were amazed when coach Sebastian Hoeneß’ team beat Champions League contender Leipzig 2-0 last weekend. TSG now wants to build on this result against Fürth. Fürth should be the ideal opponent for this.
Top group in sight
Should Hoffenheim win at Fürth, it would be the first time this season that TSG can follow up a win with another victory. Because none of the previous 4 victories could be confirmed in the following match. If they still manage to do so in Fürth, Hoffenheim would have 20 points and would be in the hunt for the European Cup places. Even though Hoffenheim is currently only 10th in the table, the first Champions League place is only 4 points away.
Hoffenheim facts & analysis
– After a win never won the next game
– Hoffenheim picked up 3 wins from their last 5 games
– Beat RB Leipzig 2-0 last week
Predicted line-up – last update on 25 November 2021
Fürth tries to stand compactly. Coach Stefan Leitl has his team play in a 4-2-3-1 system, which should close the spaces in the own half and keep the game on the outer lanes when the opponent has the ball. When the ball is won, Fürth switches quickly and counterattacks.
Hoffenheim played a new 3-4-3 system against Leipzig, which TSG had not played before. But coach Sebastian Hoeneß was rewarded for his offensive tactics. Therefore, we expect the Sinsheim side to be very attack-minded again in Fürth.
