Schalke 04 vs Hoffenheim Soccer Betting Tips – Bundesliga
Already adrift at the end of last season, Schalke 04 is this time sinking this year in the Bundesliga. After 14 games played in the league this season, this formation could only take 4 points which is the worst total of all the teams of the 5 big championships. Gelsenkirchen club can’t do it and haven’t won a game this year. After having drawn against Augsburg (2-2) in December, Benjamin Stambouli’s partners then aligned 3 losses in a row against Friborg (0-2), Arminia Bielefield (0-1) and against Hertha Berlin (3-0) last week.
Opposite, Hoffenheim is far from having a good start to the Bundesliga season but his poor form has, fortunately for him, nothing to do with his host of the day. 6th last year, this club is today only 13th in the standings with 15 units collected during the first 14 days. Defeated by Bayer Leverkusen (4-1) then by Leipzig (0-1), Hoffe had relaunched before the holidays by winning against Borussia Mönchengladbach (1-2). But he started 2020 badly by losing against Friborg (1-3) last weekend.
