Two teams looking to return to winning ways in the Bundesliga, Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim, go head-to-head at the Volkswagen Arena on Sunday afternoon.
The Wolves are hunting a rare Bundesliga win of lateNiko Kovac’s team are now winless in four games in the Bundesliga, having drawn their previous three matches in the German top flight.
The unconvincing recent run of league form has seen the Wolves drop to 11th place in the table, nine points adrift of the European spots.
Their games have lacked goals of late in the Bundesliga, as five of their last six league matches have produced under 2.5 goals scored.
Wolfsburg has a poor recent home record, winning just one of their last six Bundesliga games at the Volkswagen Arena.
However, at least their recent home games have been goal-filled, with over 2.5 goals scored in nine of their last 12 Bundesliga outings on home soil.
Hoffenheim low on confidenceThe side from Sinsheim heads into this game in their worst league form of the season as a 1-1 home draw against Heidenheim last time out, which means that Pellegrino Matarazzo’s team is winless in five Bundesliga games.
Their underwhelming recent form has seen the 8th-place visitors fall six points behind the league’s top six.
Hoffenheim’s games have at least produced goals of late, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their previous seven Bundesliga outings.
The visitors have been poor on their travels of late in the German top-flight, as they are winless in five away games, having suffered four consecutive defeats.
Hoffenheim’s main issue of late on their travels has been conceding too many goals, as they have conceded at least twice in all four of their recent away defeats.
What am I backing?Neither team heads into this encounter with much confidence. However, I do believe this will be high-scoring, so the bet I am backing is over 2.5 goals scored.
