Hoffenheim vs Eintracht Frankfurt Prediction & Betting Tips (26 January)

Author of a rather convincing last season, Hoffenheim fails to confirm this year. On the contrary, this team is going through a rather trying exercise during which it may well struggle for a while longer to ensure its survival. It must in fact be said that the TSG is in 15th position in the ranking with only 3 points ahead of the jump-off. Little in spirits after the winter break with 2 losses suffered against Wolfsburg 0-1 and Bayern Munich 5-0, Hoffe still regained some color by winning on the field of Holstein Kiel 1-3 at the weekend last. This week, this team welcomes Hoffenheim in the Europa League.

Eintracht Frankfurt, for its part, establishes itself week after week as the real satisfaction of the season across the Rhine. The Diva Capricieuse has indeed settled on the podium of this championship, with 5 lengths ahead of the 5th, the first who will not qualify for the C1 at the end of the season. Getting off to a very good start after the holidays, Hugo Ekitike's partners have won everything since the return to competition with successes against Sankt Pauli 0-1 , Friborg 4-1 and Borussia Dortmund 2-0. This week, the Eagles will try to confirm on the European scene by hosting Ferencvaros .

The absentees are still legion on the Hoffenheim side since the long-term absent defender Kabak, the midfielders Prömel and Tohumcu and the attackers Bülter (4 goals), and Bebou are still missing. Winter recruit Lenz and midfielder Samassékou complete the list of packages. Out injured last week, Turkish striker Yardimci and midfielder Stach are not guaranteed to be present either. Against Kiel, experienced striker Kramaric scored his 7th goal of the season while Czech Hlozec (5 goals) stood out with a double. During the transfer window, the Dane Bruun Larsen (2 goals) and the Hungarian defender Szalai (Standard de Liège, loan) set sail while the former Lyonnais Gift Orban signed up but he has already lost his starting place and he didn't even come into play last weekend.

On the Eintracht side, replacement defender Amenda and former Parisian Dina Edimbe risks missing this part again. Otherwise, the usual captains of this formation like the players who moved to Ligue 1 such as Trapp (ex PSG), the defender Theate (ex Rennes) and midfielder Skhiri (ex Montpellier) will be available. Former Parisian Hugo Ekitike (9 goals, 3 assists) scored again against Dortmund last week. Now orphaned by the excellent Marmousch (15 goals, 9 assists decisive in the Bundesliga) left for Manchester City, the Frenchman will undoubtedly have to take on the role of serial scorer in the second half of the season.

• Summary: TSG Hoffenheim is going head to head with Eintracht Frankfurt starting on 26 Jan 2025 at 14:30 UTC at PreZero Arena stadium, Sinsheim city, Germany. The match is a part of the Bundesliga .
