Hoffenheim vs FC Koln Betting Tips &— BTTS
Hoffenheim, the hosts for Sunday’s Bundesliga game, are still in search of their first victory in the new year. Pellegrino Matarazzo’s team had to settle for a 2:2 draw at Wolfsburg last weekend, following a 1:1 stalemate in their previous home game two weeks prior.
Hoffenheim’s performance in the Bundesliga season started strong, but gradually declined over the recent months. Despite still holding a position within the top eight of the division, the team from Sinsheim has only managed a single win in their last 11 league games, and have not seen a victory in their last six matches.
Goals are almost guaranteed at home games with Hoffenheim, as both teams have scored in 18 of their last 20 home Bundesliga matches since October 2022. Surprisingly, the hosts have only managed to keep a clean sheet in one of their last 22 home league games.
Koln heads to Sinsheim buoyed by a crucial win against Eintracht Frankfurt last weekend. Prior to this, the Billy Goats had only managed one victory in their last 11 games and had suffered six consecutive losses. Now, Timo Schultz’s team has managed to move out of the automatic relegation zone, but still need three points to reach a safe position.
Koln often finds it challenging to perform well when they travel, but we can anticipate the visitors to score at least one goal. The Billy Goats have secured one win and two draws in their previous three away games, with a goal notched in each match. Their victory against Frankfurt last weekend should also provide a much-needed confidence boost for Koln before Sunday’s game.
Considering Hoffenheim´s inability to keep clean sheets, we have to expect goals this weekend. Koln claimed a 3:1 win on their last visit to this venue and I’m confident we will see a repeat of that BTTS outcome.
