Hoffenheim v Schalke Team News

Hoffenheim are on a poor run. Despite putting up an impressive display against Bayern Munich, running out 1-2 winners at the capital club, it was their first win in 5 games. The side have struggled with injuries and lack of composure in the final third scoring only 6 in 7 matches.

Their home form is equally wanting, winning only once and losing twice in their games so far. Their heroic exploits in Munich will not count for much heading into this fixture against a determined Schalke side.

Die Knappen walk into this fixture full of confidence and rightly so. The side has had an impressive campaign so far, especially on their travels where they haven’t lost in any of their 3 matches on the road, scoring 8 and only conceding twice.

They sure are a big challenge to the limping Hoffenheim side. Coach David Wagner will be going for all the three points in this match as he is looking to wriggle out of the gridlock which has seen four teams tied on 6^th.

Injured or Suspended Players:

Hoffenheim have a host of doubtful players with Samassekou and Geiger both out with a muscle injury, F. Grillitsch and A. Kramaric out with knee injury. Those are but a few players who will be missing out in this clash.

Schalke are missing out on sensation Nabil Bentaleb with the Algerian midfielder out with a knee injury. With that exception, the squad is full to go for glory at Hoffenheim.

Hoffenheim vs Schalke Predictions

Hoffenheim are definitely not going down easy without a fight after slaying the Munich dragons. Injuries in the host’s dugout might prove to be their undoing in this encounter billed to be a tight affair. The favourites, Schalke, are on unfamiliar grounds and a draw is very likely though Schalke might beat Hoffenheim to the result.
