TSG Hoffenheim vs FC Ingolstadt Betting Tips and Predictions

TSG Hoffenheim have had some emotional swings to endure this season. After a solid top 10 finish last season, Hoffenheim began the season poor and occupied an automatic relegation place uninterrupted for seventeen matchdays until mid-March. Hoffenheim may have lost 3-1 in a difficult fixture away to Borussia Mönchengladbach last Sunday, but they have taken 13 points from their five preceding games (W4 D1). Hoffenheim’s “The Great Escape”, therefore, remains probable thanks to the revolutionary work of the Bundesliga’s youngest ever coach, Julian Nagelsmann. If Hoffenheim win they could put themselves seven points clear of relegation with two games left, depending on the result between Eintracht Frankfurt and Darmstadt.

FC Ingolstadt guaranteed themselves Bundesliga survival last Saturday, despite dropping a 2-0 lead, with a 2-2 draw against, now-relegated, Hannover 96 at home. Ingolstadt have the magic “40 point” total with three matches remaining and now stand only five points under Schalke 04 in seventh, European qualification still remains a mathematical possibility for them.

TSG Hoffenheim have a strong home form and remain undefeated on their own turf since Julian Nagelsmann took over (W4 D1). Despite this revolutionary turnaround from the revitalised Hoffenheim side, they are still conceding goals – both teams have scored in four of Hoffenheim’s last five at home. Meanwhile, FC Ingolstadt have scored away from home in three of their last four matches, with both teams scoring in all three. Hoffenheim are the favourites at home and have never lost a competitive match against Ingolstadt, however, with the teams’ current trends of both teams to score and the statistically dominance of 1-1 as a result home and away (see statistics), we expect both of these to be top value bets.
