1899 Hoffenheim, Recent FormThe 2-1 away defeat to Wolfsburg will not have sat easily with the 1899 Hoffenheim squad, who would not have been pleased to squander all three points. In that game they had 54% possession and managed 10 attempts on goal, with 2 on target, compared to Wolfsburg who had 9 attempts and 3 on target.
They may consider themselves adept at breaking through their opponent's defences, having scored 8 goals in their last 6 outings, but they have had their own defensive frailties to worry about, having conceded 8 and seen valuable points lost. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 home games, but so far this season they have conceded at least 1 goal in 27 of their 32 games overall.
Having lost 3 of their last 6 matches and recorded only 2 victories, this has to be seen as a poor run of results.
Union Berlin, Recent FormUnion Berlin will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 4-2 home win against Freiburg. In that game they recorded 36 % of the possession, with 10 attempts on goal, 4 on target. Their opponents found the target on 6 of their 11 shots on goal.
Urs Fischer will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 7 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 6 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Their form away from home has been of some concern, having recorded just 2 wins and 3 defeats in their last 6 matches on the road.
Goalscorer Sheraldo Becker will be planning to get himself on the scoresheet once more, having notched up 3 goals in his last 6 league matches for Union Berlin.
There was no upset on the cards last time these two sides met; on that occasion, Union Berlin produced a comfortable 3-1 victory.
Hoffenheim will be confident of finding the net in this one against Die Eisernen, with an impressive scoring record of at least 1 goal in their previous 7 encounters between the two sides.
Hoffenheim have lost the last 2 times they've faced Union in the league and have failed to win in their last 5 encounters.
Hoffenheim manager Pellegrino Matarazzo has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Justin Che (Knee), Pavel Kadeřábek (Hamstring) and Kevin Vogt (Knee) are all currently out of contention for this game.
There is only really one injury concern for the Union manager Urs Fischer ahead of this clash, with Timo Baumgartl (COVID-19) missing out, which gives Fischer a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
