In this week 6 match on Sep 25th, Hoffenheim hosts Wolfsburg at Wirsol Rhein-neckar-arena in a meeting of these two Bundesliga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 16 degrees, a perfect day for football. Hoffenheim sits at 10th place in the tables. In their last match they recorded a 0-0 scoreless draw against Arminia Bielefeld. Neither Arminia Bielefeld nor Hoffenheim could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 9 and 15 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. They’re hoping to improve on their recent performance, having earned only 10 points in their last 10 matches, while wolfsburg is fresh off their 1-1 draw against Eintracht Frankfurt. Sam Lammers struck first for Eintracht Frankfurt in the 38th minute on a feed from Filip Kostić, then Wout Weghorst tied it up for Wolfsburg in the 70th minute earning Wolfsburg at least a draw. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Wolfsburg should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season. Last season these teams were evenly matched with 1 win apiece.
Wolfsburg is lucky enough to have a few offensive weapons, with Lukas Nmecha and Wout Weghorst each having 2 goals in their last five. Jacob Bruun Larsen has been the most prolific scorer on Hoffenheim in his last five matches with two goals
Hoffenheim will be without Dennis Geiger, Pavel Kadeřábek, Ihlas Bebou, Ermin Bičakčić, Benjamin Hübner, Håvard Nordtveit, Florian Grillitsch, Kevin Akpoguma and Oliver Baumann, while Mark van Bommel’s squad will be without Xaver Schlager, William, Paulo Otávio and Bartosz Bialek.
