Hoffenheim Holstein Kiel betting prediction

The home team comes to this stage of the DFB Pokal (2nd Round) after having eliminated Viktoria Köln with a away win by (2‑3), after extended time, in the previous round. This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 7 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 9 wins, 2 draws and 4 losses at their stadium. In their last match, for the Bundesliga, they got an away loss against FC Bayern München by (4‑0). In the last 10 home matches Hoffenheim has won 6, tied 2 and lost 2. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 21 of the last 24 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 19 out of 24 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. They have conceded the first goal in 9 of their 15 matches, but have been able to turn the score around in 3.

Hoffenheim comes to this game with a 4-0 defeat at Bayern Munich, registering in this way the second defeat in the last three games played. Note that the home team beat Viktoria Koln in the last round of the German Cup. Now, in this match against Holstein Kiel, manager Sebastian Hoeness should keep the team in 3-4-3, prioritizing the maintenance of ball possession and the paused attacks on the flanks. Andrej Kramaric is Hoffenheim's top scorer, with 3 goals scored. Out of this game are Ermin Bicakcic, Benjamin Hübner and Marco John, all with physical problems.
