Holstein - Hoffenheim: betting tip for the Bundesliga match
Neighbours in the tournament table and direct competitors in the fight for survival, Holstein and Hoffenheim will meet in a face-to-face confrontation on January 18. The hosts have played better than their opponents in recent matches, but nevertheless, the guests are given the status of favourites in the bookmakers' line. How will the game go and what bets should you choose? - the answer is in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Holstein Kiel
GermanyCurrent form
In the last three rounds, Holstein has collected six points and significantly improved its chances of salvation. They managed to beat Augsburg (5:1) before the Christmas break, and in the last round there was also a bright victory with a large score of 4:2 over Borussia Dortmund. The team played both successful matches on their home field, where they have won all three of their victories this season. With 11 points, Marcel Rapp charges approach the upcoming meeting in 17th place in the relegation zone. A victory today will allow them to catch up with their upcoming opponent, who has 14 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Holstein has quite a few losses in his lineup ahead of the big game. Holtby will miss the game due to suspension. Kleine-Beckel, Johansson, Erras and Schulz are all out due to injury. Komenda, Porat and Skrzybski are questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Holstein has scored nine goals in his last two home games in the Bundesliga
- Holstein have conceded first in seven of their last nine Bundesliga home games
Estimated lineup: Weiner - Becker, Zec, Geschwill - Rosenbom, Remberg, Gigovich, Javorcek - Bernhardsson, Matino - Harres.
Hoffenheim
GermanyCurrent form
Hoffenheim failed to cope with the serious workload during the season, when they had to combine performances in the Europa League and the Bundesliga. Moreover, even the break did not help the team. In two matches after the break, Christian Ilzer charges lost to Wolfsburg (0:1) and Bayern (0:5). The opponents are certainly tough, but they failed to score a single goal. You can see a huge number of forwards in the application, but it looks like the head coach has not yet decided on whom to rely on in the attack. In the tournament table, Hoffenheim is in 16th place in the play-off zone, but their opponents are higher only due to additional indicators.
Disqualifications and injuries
Kaderabek will not play today due to an accumulation of cards. Kabak, Promel, Tohumcu, Bülter and Bebou will not be able to help the team due to injuries. The appearance of Samassekou and Stacha is questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Hoffenheim have not won in their last eight away matches in the Bundesliga
- Hoffenheim have lost in the first half in three matches in a row
Tentative lineup: Baumann - Gendre, Chaves, Akpoguma, Nsoki - Bischof, Geiger - Glozek, Kramaric, Prass - Orban.

The bet played in two face-to-face matches
2.44Bet Exact score 2:1
Hoffenheim have suffered two of their last five defeats by conceding two goals
10.50Tip and bets
Hoffenheim have not won in eight away matches in a row in the Bundesliga and it does not look like they are ready to break this streak today, given the latest results. Holstein, on the contrary, has perked up, has won two victories in a row at home, and in the previous round they beat Borussia Dortmund. The hosts are clearly on a decent emotional upswing now and certainly do not deserve the underdog status that bookmakers have assigned them. Given the odds, we recommend a betting tip for the representative of Kiel.
Our prediction is Holstein victory with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 2.15
Bet on total
In the last matches, Holstein played boldly in attack, was not afraid to concede. Such tactics gave a positive effect, and it is unlikely that the hosts will dry up the game today. At the same time, the guests have had a series without scoring goals. It is highly likely that, as in the face-to-face match of the first round, we will see an exchange of goals scored today.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.59
Bet on corners
We expect an open attacking game today and, accordingly, a decent number of corner kicks. Note that in the face-to-face meeting in the first round, 14 corner kicks were served between the two of them.
Betting Tip - total over 10.5 corners with odds of 2.00
