Venue (City, Stadium) | Sinsheim, SNP Arena |
TSG Hoffenheim vs Hamburg pits 14th against 16th in the Bundesliga, two sides with plenty of goals in them and precious little defending to lean on.
Christian Ilzer's Hoffenheim have made a miserable start, but the bookmakers are not fooled by the table. They are 2/5 (Bet365) favourites, and the attacking quality backs that up.
Merlin Polzin's Hamburg arrive with a stretched squad and a plan to be disciplined and pragmatic. The visitors are 13/2 (10Bet) to leave Sinsheim with all three points.
History is firmly on Hoffenheim's side. They have been winning at both half time and full time in their last three matches against Hamburg in all competitions.
TSG Hoffenheim vs Hamburg Form
Hoffenheim have lost four of their last five matches in all competitions. Domestically, the low point was a defeat at newly promoted Paderborn, while in Europe they were beaten away by OFI Crete in the Europa League. The bright spot is Adam Daghim, who has found the net or teed up a goal in every one of his four Bundesliga outings this season.
Hamburg have also had a tough start, but they claimed their first points of the campaign with a 2-1 win over FC Köln before the break. They kept ticking over during the international window with a 2-0 friendly win against FC Copenhagen, and Yusuf Poulsen could return to lead the line.

TSG Hoffenheim
Our TSG Hoffenheim vs Hamburg lineups are probable rather than confirmed, but the home side look in decent shape. Vladimir Coufal missed the game against England with an injury and is available, while Tim Lemperle should return to partner Adam Hlozek up front. Albian Hajdari and Bernardo both carried injuries out of the international break.
Hamburg
The visitors have far bigger problems. M. Vuskovic is suspended and four more players are unfit, which leaves the squad looking thin. Yusuf Poulsen could make his return, but there are question marks over Zakaria El Ouahdi, who is pencilled in on the right if he passes.

TSG Hoffenheim vs Hamburg Prediction & Best Bets
Our prediction: Hoffenheim to win a messy, open fixture with goals at both ends. Their start has been grim, but Hamburg turn up with a thin squad and a leaky defence, and the projected total of 3.45 goals tells you how open this one looks. Our TSG Hoffenheim vs Hamburg prediction backs the hosts, but their short price pushes the value towards the goals markets.
Best Bets
Over 2.5 in the Total Goals Over/Under market. This is a goals-heavy fixture, and the model projects a high-scoring game. Over 2.5 goals has landed in 11 of Hoffenheim's last 12 Bundesliga games, and Hoffenheim have seen over 2.5 goals in 6 of their last 7 matches against Hamburg in all competitions. With Hamburg's squad stretched by absentees, this is the cornerstone of our TSG Hoffenheim vs Hamburg best bets.
Yes in the Both Teams To Score market. Hamburg have enough threat to score at least once, and Hoffenheim are expected to find the net as well. Hamburg are projected to score around a goal, and Hoffenheim have a soft underbelly defensively, giving Polzin's side a route back into games. Add Hoffenheim's own firepower and goals at both ends make plenty of sense.
TSG Hoffenheim vs Hamburg Bet Builder
Our TSG Hoffenheim vs Hamburg bet builder tips combine a Wouter Burger card, Adam Hlozek shots, an Adam Daghim assist and both teams to score.

Adam Daghim over 0.5 assists: Daghim has set up a goal in two of his last three top-flight outings and is the key outlet down a left flank Hoffenheim love to attack.
Both teams to score: Both teams have scored in each of Hoffenheim's last four Bundesliga matches, and the hosts' shaky defending hands Hamburg a route to goal.

TSG Hoffenheim vs Hamburg Talking Points
More than 10,000 Hamburg supporters are travelling to the SNP Arena in Sinsheim, so the hosts will not have the atmosphere all their own way. Polzin wants a disciplined, pragmatic display to disrupt Hoffenheim's pressing, but discipline has not been Hamburg's strong suit, with avoiding individual errors and fouling in dangerous areas both listed among their weaknesses. That matters in a fixture where Jordan Torunarigha has given away multiple fouls in each of his last three appearances against Hoffenheim in the Bundesliga. Hoffenheim, for their part, struggle to protect a lead, so even a home goal or two may not settle this one.
