Hoffenheim vs Borussia Monchengladbach prediction 21.12.2024 | Bundesliga

• Competition: Bundesliga
• Date: Saturday, 21st December 2024
• Kickoff: 14:30 UK / 15:30 CET
• Venue: PreZero Arena (Sinsheim)

Since winning promotion to the Bundesliga in 2008, Hoffenheim have been involved in a relegation battle in only a few years. The 2024/25 season could be another in which the team from the German village of Sinsheim could have problems, as Hoffenheim collected only 14 points in the first 14 matches and are only four points ahead of the relegation playoff place. Christian Ilzer's team are in a bad moment as they are without victory in the last six matches in all competitions. In the previous game, they played 1-1 on the road against Borussia Dortmund. That was Hoffenheim's best game in a while, as most expected an easy win for the home side. 

Borussia Monchengladbach seems to have another mid-table season. After 14 rounds, they won 21 points and are 11th on the table. However, the top-four places are only six points ahead, so they could move up fast on the table with a few victories. Borussia Monchengladbach lost only one of the last six matches. In the previous game, they won 4-1 at home against Holstein Kiel. The home side finished the match with an xG of 2.47, while the guests had 0.37, so it is no wonder Borussia Monchengladbach secured an easy win. 

Hoffenheim vs Borussia Monghengladbach pick: Under 3.5 goals

Hoffenheim scored only two goals in the last six matches. On the other hand, Borussia Monchengladbach scored only four goals in the previous six road games. We should expect the upcoming Bundesliga game at PreZero Arena in Sinsheim to be low-scoring.
