TSG Hoffenheim vs Fortuna Dusseldorf Predictions

Hoffenheim are set to host Fortuna Dusseldorf in this Saturday’s German Bundesliga action in the Rhein-Neckar-Arena. The Rhein-Neckar-Arena saw Hoffenheim suffer a disappointing 5-1 loss at the hands of Mainz last weekend. They will hope to make last weekend’s loss a distant memory as they take on Fortuna. 

Fortuna Dusseldorf games have been entertaining to watch this season. They will have gone into the majority of their Bundesliga games as the underdog this season. However, they have not been shy of any opponents this season. This has lead to plenty of entertaining, back and forth fixtures. 

Fortuna have been impressive going forward this season. They have failed to score in just two of their 12 Bundesliga games. They have also scored in five of their six Bundesliga away games this season. Only five teams have scored more away goals than Fortuna this season. 

We feel that Fortuna are likely to get on the scoresheet versus Hoffenheim this weekend. 

Hoffenheim have kept just three clean sheets in their 12 Bundesliga games. The five goals they conceded to Mainz last weekend now leaves them with 13 goals conceded in six home Bundesliga games. Only bottom-placed Paderborn, who have conceded 14 goals at home, have a worse home defensive record than Hoffenheim. 

Fortuna’s admirable style of play leaves them susceptible to conceding goals at the other end. This is especially true away from home. They have failed to keep a single clean sheet in seven competitive away games this season. 

Meanwhile, Hoffenheim have scored in each of their last seven competitive games. This record includes each of their last three Bundesliga home games. 

We feel that both teams are likely to create plenty of goalscoring opportunities in this game. We are backing both teams to score in this one. 

Despite last weekend’s setback, Hoffenheim sit at the top of the Bundesliga’s form table for the last six games. They have won five of their last six Bundesliga fixtures. Meanwhile, Fortuna have lost five of their last eight Bundesliga games. 

Furthermore, Fortuna have struggled to get many results away from home this season. They have failed to win each of their last five away games. They have won just one of their six Bundesliga away games this season. 

Hoffenheim have seen over 2.5 goals in their last seven Bundesliga games. Similarly, there have been over 2.5 goals scored in six of Fortuna’s last seven Bundesliga away games. 

We feel that Hoffenheim are likely to take all three points from this game. Fortuna have conceded at least two goals in their last five Bundesliga away games. On top of that, four of Hoffenheim’s six Bundesliga wins came by a margin of just one goal. We feel that a 2-1 win for Hoffenheim is a likely result of this game.
