Hoffenheim vs Union Berlin Prediction & Betting tips
TSG Hoffenheim is still in the race for a European ticket. On Saturday afternoon half past three the club will take on FC Union Berlin, which played itself safe midweek.
TSG Hoffenheim:
With only two games to go TSG Hoffenheim has excellent opportunities to get a European ticket. The Sinsheim club is now in seventh place, with as many points as number VfL Wolfsburg, and one point more than number eight SC Freiburg. On Wednesday, Hoffe delivered a great match, against FC Augsburg. Munnas Dabbur put his team on track with two hits in quick succession. Hoffenheim eventually left Augsburg with a 1-3 victory.
Hoffenheim’s two competitors in the battle for European football – Wolfsburg and Freiburg – both still play against Bayern Munich. Normally this is an advantage for Hoffe, but now that Bayern is already champion, things may be different. Hoffenheim himself will play next week against Borussia Dortmund. However, that team is already certain of Champions League football, something that the club from Baden-Württemberg can take advantage of.
FC Union Berlin:
FC Union Berlin reached its big goal for this season last Tuesday. Due to a 1-0 home win over SC Paderborn, the team from the German capital can no longer be traced by the bottom three of the rankings. So we’ll see Union back in the Bundesliga next season. For a club that runs on a modest budget, and was a top-level debutant this season, this is a great achievement. The victory over Paderborn was more than deserved, and could have been bigger.
For Union, there is nothing left to do but finish the season. The players will want to do their sporting duty, but the real tension is no longer there. Trainer Urs Fischer could choose to give some other players the chance. Goalkeeper Rafal Gikiewicz may have to pass before Saturday’s game due to an injury. Sheraldo Becker appears to have recovered from his injury and may get playing minutes.
