Hertha Berlin vs TSG Hoffenheim Predictions

Hoffenheim to win at 11/8 – ★★☆

3-1 Hoffenheim at 20/1 – ★☆☆

• Hoffenheim have won four of their last six games under new coach Andre Breitenreiter.
• This fixture has never produced a 0-0.
• Hertha Berlin failed to win all but one of their home games since the start of April.

Hoffenheim look bright under Breitenreiter

With just one win across the opening seven games, another season up against the threat of relegation looms for Hertha Berlin. Even though they’re currently unbeaten in three games, they’re yet to win at home and have only notched a single win in competitive home action since the beginning of April.

That’s not ideal when Andre Breitenreiter’s Hoffenheim provide the opposition, the new coach has overseen five wins from his opening seven league games in charge as Hoffenheim consequently shot up the table to be in and around the Champions League placings, and there’s not much internally to suggest that momentum will slow here.

Hoffenheim have had a slight wobble with a draw and a loss across their last three games, though drawing with a fantastic Freiburg who remain red hot this season and a loss to perennial runners-up Borussia Dortmund are hardly disgraceful results.

Sticking with the favourites

Opposing favourites can often be a profitable exercise, yet Hoffenheim are simply the stronger side on paper and it is tough to make a strong case against them picking up the points here. Breitenreiter has never drawn a game against Hertha and that could well continue with another win in his eighth meeting with the Berliners.

As for the correct score, a price boosted 3-1 Hoffenheim win at 20/1 with Bet365 looks very attractive indeed, especially when considering that the visitors scored at least three goals in three of their last four victories.
