Midtjylland is in excellent form, playing an exciting brand of attacking football and consistently finding the back of the net. In all 16 matches of the current season, the Wolves have scored. The Hoffenheim defense is unlikely to pose a significant challenge for the hosts, as the Germans frequently concede goals while also showcasing their offensive prowess. This match promises to be high-scoring.
We anticipate that the match will yield plenty of goals. Our prediction is over three total goals. This bet is available with odds of 1.71
Bet on Outcome
Hoffenheim has lost their last three matches in the league but hasn’t played without hope, showcasing an attacking style and scoring against every opponent this season, though their defense has been lacking. Today, the villagers will undoubtedly aim for three points to break their losing streak - while some rotation in the lineup is likely, it probably won't be significant enough to greatly weaken the team, making it worth the risk to favor the visitors.
We believe the guests have a higher chance of winning. Our prediction is an Asian handicap (0) on Hoffenheim, with this bet available at 2.05.
Bet on Corners
Midtjylland will likely spend a lot of time attacking at home, but Hoffenheim is fully capable of responding with their counterattacks, suggesting there will be plenty of corners.
