Wolfsburg vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting Tips (4 December)

Little in sight at the start of the season, Wolfsburg is gradually trying to climb the rankings and get closer to the fight for European places. Everything is going well lately for VfL who won their last 3 league duels played against Heidenheim 1-3, Union Berlin 1-0 and finally Leipzig 1-5 last weekend. Following this very good series, this team was able to return to 8th place in the ranking, only 2 short lengths from the European top 6. During the previous round of this German Cup, the Wolves achieved the feat of taking out Borussia Dortmund after extra time. On the other side of the median, Hoffenheim is experiencing much more difficulty at the moment than its opponent of the day.

Despite a very satisfactory last exercise, this team is floundering this year in the Bundesliga where it only ranks in 14th position with only 2 small steps ahead of the red zone. Too inconsistent, TSG was able to win on the wire against Leipzig 4-3 before immediately falling back against Mainz 2-0 on Sunday, just a few days after sinking to Braga in the Europa League 3-0. Spared for the moment in this German Cup, Hoffe could hardly have won against Nuremberg in the previous round 2-1.

The good performances achieved by Wolfsburg are all the more beautiful as the infirmary is still crowded at the moment. There we find the Croatian playmaker Lovro Majer (2 goals this season), defender Rogerio, striker Bialek, the American Paredes, the important midfielders Svanberg (1 goal) and Vranckx as well as the important midfielder Kaminski and the often starting defender Bornauw. Established at the forefront against Leipzig, Algerian striker Amoura stood out with a double which allowed him to take the lead in the team's scorers ranking with 4 goals alongside the Portuguese Tiago Tomas. They are now ahead of the Danish Wind and their 3 goals. On the TSG side, it is important to highlight the packages of the starting midfielder Prömel and long-term absentees Kabak (defender) and Bebou who have still not played a single minute since the start of the season.

Defender Lenz and midfielder Grillitsch are also on the sidelines at the moment. Absent Sunday, enough formidable striker Bülter (4 goals) is not guaranteed to be present. On the other hand, the Croatian international Kramaric (5 goals in the Bundesliga) and the young Czech striker Hlozek (3 goals) should be able to be operational.
