1899 Hoffenheim, Recent FormLosing 2-1 away to Freiburg won't leave the 1899 Hoffenheim squad too downbeat, given the former sits a full 14 places above them in the league. Their share of possession in that meeting was 40%, while racking up 12 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Freiburg, who had 9 shots on goal with 3 on target.
With 4 goals scored in their last 6, they might have expected more points from that run of matches, but having conceded 13 goals along the way, things haven't been going their way points-wise. They have clocked up an impressive run of form in front of goal at The PreZero Arena recently, having found the net in 5 of their last 6 home matches. They are struggling defensively and as a result have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 14 games.
Serious concerns will be mounting for Hoffenheim, having gone without a win in their last 14 league games and lost the last 7 in a row.
Hertha BSC, Recent FormGrabbing a valuable league point from their recent 1-1 draw against Mainz 05 will have been seen as a reasonably decent result for Hertha BSC. They achieved 40% possession in that match and had 11 strikes at goal, with 4 hitting the target, up against Mainz 05's tally of 6 efforts at goal, 3 of which were on target.
Their boss Sandro Schwarz is sure to be taking a close look at his defence, who have given away 13 goals over the last 6 matches and yet amazingly still managed to collect some valuable points during this poor defensive spell due to their 9 goals scored. They are showing great consistency in finding the back of the net, having scored in 5 of their last 6 games. They have found it hard to grab league points away from home of late, primarily due to their back line shipping at least 1 goal in 10 of their last 11 away games.
Hertha BSC will not be enjoying their recent run of poor form on the road. They've lost their last 7 league games in a row away from home and not recorded a win on their travels in 8 games.
With 3 goals from the last 6 away outings in the league, Dodi Lukébakio has given the travelling Hertha BSC support something to shout about on the road.
In the most recent meeting between these teams, they both managed to find the net, but the game finished in a 1-1 draw.
Playing away from home, Hertha have scored in 2 of their last 3 league games against Hoffenheim.
In the league, Hoffenheim has a good track record when they host Hertha, getting the better of them in their last 2 home games.
Andrej Kramarić has shown great form in front of goal in the past in this fixture, having scored 6 goals in Hoffenheim's last 5 games against Hertha.
