Hoffenheim enter this match coming off their worst loss of the season at the hands of the Bavarian giants, Bayern Munich. They'll want to put that loss behind them as quickly as possible, and they have the chance to do that while playing at home. Hoffenheim remain one of the strongest home clubs in Germany, as they have picked up seven wins and 21 points from their 10 home matches this season. Freiburg are a good side, but struggle on the road, and while they're probably score here, their defense will struggle against the hosts.
