Team News

Hoffenheim
Union Berlin
  • Stanley Nsoki is suspended for one more game after his sending off. Pavel Kaderábek is nearing a return from a thigh injury, and Kevin Vogt is struggling with a knee injury. Dennis Geiger missed last weekend with a back injury.
  • Jacob Bruun Larsen is on his way back from a groin operation. Benjamin Hübner has been forced to retire because of a persistent ankle injury.
  • András Schäfer has suffered a reoccurrence of a foot injury and is ruled out, but barring late injuries coach Urs Fischer has an almost full strength squad at his disposal.

Prediction

  • Hoffenheim have picked up some crucial wins under new coach Pellegrino Matarazzo, but still sit just two points from the relegation play-off place.
  • Fourth-placed Union, boasting the joint meanest defence in the Bundesliga, need another win to nail down a Champions League qualification spot against all pundits predictions and the odds.
  • Hoffenheim lost the reverse fixture 3-1. A win would be crucial for either side, but these two may have to settle for a share of the spoils with so much at stake.
