Hoffenheim vs Greuther Furth: Free Betting Tips and Predictions
This will be another friendly match for both teams in this training period.
Over 2.5 Goals
Even though Greuther Furth is not known as a high-scoring team compared to their opponents these days, friendlies are a different matter. Both of these teams play more open football when there is no pressure of winning like in friendlies.
Both Teams to Score – Yes
Like the first prediction, both teams will likely score at least a goal. Hoffenheim beat a lower league team Elversberg by 4-3, and Greuther Furth defeated Ingolstadt 3-1 in their only friendly match thus far.
Draw
Winning won’t mean a lot to this team at this point, but if we expect a reasonably high-scoring game, then a draw might be the outcome to look at seriously.
Hoffenheim vs Greuther Furth Preview: Chance to focus on building chemistry
Hoffenheim
The Hoffenheim players struggled in their last five matches in the Bundesliga, and the World Cup break came at the right time. They lost four out of their last five games, and are inching closer to the relegation zone even though they are 11th. But, that is a bit misleading because they are only four points away from the drop zone. Besides missing some players like Andrej Kramaric who is still at the World Cup representing Croatia, there are quite a few injury worries for coach Andre Breitenreiter. Luca Philipp, Grischa Promel, Jacob Bruun Larsen, Ihlas Bebou, and Munas Dabbur are all out through various injuries. Dabbur is one of the team’s best strikers. Of course, at this point in training camp that won’t hurt the team’s spirit, this is the time to enhance the player’s conditioning and focus and built a different kind of mentality for the rest of the season as there are several things that this team needs to improve.
Greuther Furth
They were the worst Bundesliga team last season which is the reason they are now playing in the Second Division. They had a tough start to the season but managed to get themselves out of a hole before things become a lot more serious. They only have three wins on their record thus far this season in 17 games which is abysmal for their standards, but three of those victories came in the last four games which clearly shows how bad the team was in the first part of the season. They are now tenth and have plenty of time to rebuild confidence for the final stage of the season which will start at the end of January. Their chances of getting promotion back to the Bundesliga are slim to none, so their main focus going forward will be to avoid another significant drop in form which would again take them to the brink of a relegation battle. It’s almost unimaginable for this team to play in the Third Division. They will also have some availability issues, Sidney Raebiger and Robin Kehr are injured.
