Hoffenheim to Win
Hoffenheim should be armed with plenty of confidence on Sunday having just recorded back-to-back Bundesliga wins for the first time since August, and the hosts look primed to deliver a crucial blow in the battle for survival on Sunday. Hoffenheim have already beaten Schalke twice this term in league and cup, notching a huge eight times along the way and more success could be in the offing here. With those factors aligned, our first Hoffenheim vs Stuttgart prediction recommends a stake on a home win.
Over 2.5 Goals
As we touched on above, Hoffenheim have already torn into Schalke twice this term, recording 5-1 and 3-0 wins against them in the cup and league respectively earlier in the campaign, and another high-scoring tussle could be in the works when they meet again this weekend. Over 2.5 goals has landed in four of Schalke’s last five assignments and the second of our football predictions today backs that run to continue.
