Hoffenheim have not won their last 5 matches. Their last win was at 08 December 2023 (matchday 14) against Bochum. And the matchdays before is was not good either. Before that, they had their last won at 28 October 2023 (matchday 9) against Stuttgart. They certainly expected more. So coach Pellegrino Matarazzos performance is now viewed very critical. The next game is against Woflsburg. Wolfsburg had also expected more and are now already 9 points behind the international places. And more was also expected from Nico Kovac. The coach of the losing team will be criticised even more and may be sacked soon.
I think Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim at this moment both not have impressive results but yes, at least the reality is that Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg can still compete in the middle of the Bundesliga standings and that's not bad at all. Because yes, basically Hoffenheim and Wolfsburg not have the quality to be able to compete strongly in the top zone in the Bundesliga standings so I think the results they have at the moment are still considered fine. Therefore, I think it would not be right if they fired their coach because yes, the results they have had so far this season are still considered good and not bad at all because they have not fallen into the relegation zone.
For me, this match is very unpredictable because both of them have not performed very well so far. So it is definitely hard to choose which team is going to win this match. I personally think that this match might actually end up being a draw. Because both of them are not playing well. And I believe both of them are going to make mistakes when it comes to defending. So that should open up a lot of chances for the other team to score. There is no chance this is going to be a goalless match, that's because of what I just said. Both of them are prone to mistakes and I expect the deadlock to be broken.
