On April 9, PreZero Arena (Sinsheim) will host the match of the 30th round of the German Bundesliga, in which Hoffenheim will compete with Schalke. The battle will start at 19:30 CET.

Hoffenheim

The team still remembers the performance, being under the rule of young Nagelsmann, in the Champions League. It is still impossible to choose the right mentor, moreover, it seems that each Julian’s successor is worse and worse. As a result, “the Peasants” have to struggle for survival in the current season. And the replacement of the mentor was not helpful: Pellegrino Matarazzo, who is remembered for his working with Stuttgart, continued the series of defeats. And only on the eve of the pause for the matches of the national teams, the club was able to achieve a vital 3-1 success in the home battle with Hertha. Speaking about the previous round, the team scored twice in a couple of minutes after the break, which resulted in a victory in the struggle with Werder Bremen.

Schalke

The club, being under the rule of Tedesco, has reached its last peak, becoming the vice-champion of Germany, not so long ago. Then, there was a long and dark period, which resulted in a natural relegation – “the Cobalts” found themselves in the Bundesliga 2. Moreover, having immediately returned to the elite division of the country, the representative of Gelsenkirchen demonstrated not so much there and stayed at the very bottom of the standings. When Thomas Rice’s wards started the January segment with a couple of defeats, everyone crushed on Schalke. And then they suddenly transformed, giving a series of 8 matches without any defeat. To be honest, half of them ended only in 0-0 draws. And there were only two victories – in the battles against Stuttgart and Bochum. Nevertheless, it became clear that the team would still fight for survival. At the same time, the finish segment, which had started after the pause for national team matches, began with a rout made by Bayer. “The Pharmacists” gave the chance in the first half, but then scored three unanswered goals.

The statistics of head-to-head matches

Hoffenheim has won all 3 previous head-to-head matches. Speaking about the current season, there were a 3-0 success in the German championship and a 5-1 victory in the DFB Pokal – both defeats happened last October.

Predictions

Bookmakers give a slight advantage to the hosts. Still, everything can be decided by a single goal – thus, we bet on “total: under 2.5” (odd: 2.11).
