The Hoffenheim is a recent club that has not yet managed to win the title of the Bundesliga (German Championship), having as its best campaign the fourth and third place reached in the last two seasons. In the last season, the team made a good campaign in the Bundesliga and finished in third place, thus achieving the qualification for the group stage of the Champions League, but in this season is having a somewhat irregular start of the championship, because he conquered only three of the nine points played so far, being in the middle of the table. In the last five games that Hoffenheim played at home, if we only count the games for the German championship, they scored one or more goals in the first half in four of them. We believe that in this match Hoffenheim, for playing at home, will start for the attack and will have to score goals.

In the last 20 home matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they scored 11 of their 29 goals between the minutes (76’-90 ‘ ).
