Hoffenheim Team News
Hoffenheim players lost 2:1 away from Wolfsburg in the previous round. The home team took the lead in the 15th minute of the game and doubled their advantage in the 75th minute. The visiting team scored a consolation goal only in stoppage time, with an own goal.
With two rounds to go, Hoffenheim occupies the 14th position in the table with 32 points won, three more than the seventeenth-placed Stuttgart, and a place that leads to a lower rank in the competition. In the last five league matches, they recorded one win and a draw, as well as three losses. Until the end of the season, in addition to the match against Union Berlin, they also have a game against Stuttgart away from home.
Defender Stanley Nsoki is out for one more game due to a recent red card, while Kevin Vogt and Pavel Kaderabek are unavailable for the rest of the season due to injuries. On the other hand, Dennis Geiger returned to the team for the last match and will be at the disposal of coach Pellegrino Matarazzo.
Robert Skov should start on the wing, along with Ihlas Bebou, who is likely to replace Munas Dabbour. But we have to see.
Union Berlin Team News
In the last championship game, Union Berlin defeated Freiburg at home 4:2. They took the lead in the fifth minute with a goal by Kevin Behrens, and by the end of the first half, they scored two more goals, both times by Sheraldo Becker. By the 70th minute, the visitors scored two goals, but they failed to fully return to the match, so the home team scored another goal in the 80th minute through Aissa Laidouni and put an end to the match.
They currently occupy the fourth position in the table with 59 points won, and if they keep that place until the end of the competition, they will participate in the Champions League next season. In the last four matches in the league, they recorded two wins and one draw, and one loss each. In addition to the game with Hoffenheim, in the last round, they will play against Werder Bremen at home.
Coach Urs Fischer will probably have to replace Diogo Leite due to a head injury, and Paul Jaeckel would probably play in his place. Besides him, Andras Schafer’s performance is also questionable. Everyone else is eagerly awaiting the next duel.
As for the starting 11, it is unlikely that there will be any major changes compared to the previous match, with Aisse Laidouni, Jordan Siebatcheu, and Niko Giesselmann having to settle for possibly coming off the bench in some part of the game.
