Hoffenheim are yet to win at home this season but have a presentable chance against a Koln side conceding plenty of goals. Fisnik Asllani is in fine form up front and can fire the hosts to victory.

Hoffenheim Form


Hoffenheim have been inconsistent this season, both of their wins coming on the road. They won 2-1 at Bayer Leverkusen and 4-2 at Union Berlin, Fisnik Asllani and Tim Lemperle scoring in both victories.

Christian Ilzer’s side haven’t been able to replicate that form at home where they began with two tough challenges. They were unlucky to lost 3-1 to Eintracht Frankfurt before a deserved 4-1 defeat against Bayern Munich.

Hoffenheim are coming off a 1-1 draw at Freiburg. Asllani equalised with his fourth goal of the campaign as they ended with 2.24-1.26 expected goals.

Koln Form


Koln had a great start in their return to the Bundesliga, a fortunate 1-0 win in Mainz followed by a 4-1 win against Freiburg where they had 39% possession.

Lukas Kwasniok’s side haven’t won since, conceding eight goals in three games. Jakub Kaminski scored in the 13th minute of added time to secure a 3-3 draw at Wolfsburg before a deserved 3-1 defeat at Leipzig.

The Billy Goats took the lead against Stuttgart on Sunday but couldn’t hold on, ending the contest with 1.08-2.21 xG.

Probable Starting Lineups & Team News


Hoffenheim (4-2-3-1) Oliver Baumann; Vladimír Coufal, Robin Hranáč, Arthur Chaves, Bernardo; Leon Avdullahu, Wouter Burger; Tim Lemperle, Andrej Kramarić, Bazoumana Touré; Fisnik Asllani

Defenders Valentin Gendrey and Hennes Behrens are injured with Albian Hajdari and Koki Machida doubtful. Adam Hložek has a broken ankle and is expected to return in December.

Koln (3-4-3) Marvin Schwabe; Joel Schmied, Timo Hübers, Eric Martel; Sebastian Sebulonsen, Tom Krauss, Ísak Bergmann Jóhannesson, Jakub Kaminski; Linton Maina, Jan Thielmann, Ragnar Ache

Central defence is in an issue with Luca Kilian expected to miss the season with a cruciate ligament injury and Rav van den Berg dealing with a shoulder problem. Marius Bülter has a hamstring injury.

Verdict

Koln have conceded eight goals in three games and I don’t expect their defence to improve in Hoffenheim. Fisnik Asllani is on fire up front and backed to help the hosts take all three points.
