Bundesliga Matchday 2, Saturday, 31.08.2024 at 15:30
Home opener for the SGE in the new Bundesliga season! Eintracht Frankfurt welcome Hoffenheim on Saturday afternoon and will be looking to pick up their first points of the new season.
The emphasis here is on the majority. Because last weekend, the eagle bearers suffered a 2-0 defeat in the top match with BVB.
The record in recent years is relatively clear: the Hessians go into the game as the clear favorites, having also won both of their matches in the previous season
However, the visitors have made a good start to the season. With a 3:2 win over Holstein Kiel behind them, they will be looking to go one better.
However, it remains to be seen to what extent the defense will be able to withstand Eintracht’s offensive unit.
In this respect, my Frankfurt Hoffenheim betting tip predicts a close game, but one that should also offer a few goals
The prediction of the betting providers?
It’s another one of those games in the Bundesliga where the bookmakers are predicting a favorite, but there are still some remaining doubts.
The predictions for the Frankfurt Hoffenheim betting tip say the same. Betway Sportwetten has better odds for the hosts to win.
But at the same time, the prediction for a game with goals on both sides is under 1.50. If the visitors take at least one point, the odds are around 1.90. After all,
KI prediction Frankfurt vs Hoffenheim: ChatGPT bets on it
Whether it’s ChatGPT, Gemini or Copilot, there’s no getting around artificial intelligence these days. It’s the same with betting predictions that can be generated with AI. I had three predictions made for Frankfurt against Hoffenheim.
The result tip is already crisp. The AI assumes that both teams will be courageous going forward and that we will see a goal spectacle. I don’t think that’s far-fetched, as both sides are currently in good form
Another prediction made by ChatGPT assumes that Andrej Kramaric will score. The Croatian already scored three times last weekend. It is all too obvious that he will be on the scoresheet again.
The last and at the same time most likely prediction with the least risk concerns the scorecast. If both teams score, as so often in the recent past, the odds are a decent 1.50.
Analysis: Frankfurt vs Hoffenheim
Coach Pellegrino Matarazzo’s side were not known for their strength on the road, especially towards the end of last season.
TSG lost four of their last five games away from home. Only against relegated Darmstadt have they managed to win in this phase
Conversely, the Hessians cannot be denied a certain home strength. They have lost just one of their last ten home games (4S, 5U).
Coach Dino Toppmöller’s side are therefore well placed to play in front of their own fans. However, they have only won one of their last five home games in the Stadtwald (3U, 1N).
Quota analysis
While I have to say that despite all the criticism of Eintracht’s play last year, the home games had a certain entertainment factor.
Both teams have scored in seven of SGE’s last eight home games and at least four goals have been scored in each of the last three
However, many bookmakers, including Sunmaker, will give you odds of around 1.70 for your Frankfurt Hoffenheim bet if less than 3.5 goals are scored.
Even though I often don’t do it, a result tip is also a good idea. Because in the last seven games, SGE won three times with 3:1, including the two games of the previous season
Will Hoffenheim stay in the flow?
In recent years, TSG have often got off to a mixed start. Since Hoffenheim went unbeaten on the first two matchdays under Nagelsmann, there have been repeated stutters.
That was in 2017, when it was mostly the away games that ruined a perfect start to the season. There have been three wins and three defeats in these games in the last six years.
In the previous season, Sinsheim started with a 3:2 win at newly promoted Heidenheim. I reckon their opponents this time will be much harder to beat.
However, there are question marks due to the cup match against Wehen Wiesbaden, where TSG struggled for a long time and had to go all the way to penalties
Is Eintracht’s offense working its magic again?
The fact that the SGE didn’t score a single goal, like last weekend, is actually an absurdity. After all, the offense has been the showpiece of late.
The last time the South Hessians were without a goal of their own was in mid-April, when they went down 3-0 in Stuttgart. However, they created a number of good opportunities against BVB.
They just have to make the most of them. The duo of Omar Marmoush and Hugo Ekitike was already working well. Both alternated up top and combined with the midfielders
I’ve already talked about the results from the previous season. What else characterizes the duel between Frankfurt and Hoffenheim is the flood of goals.
At least four goals have been scored in each of the last seven matches. In the most recent three, there have even been exactly four goals to celebrate
In addition, both teams have scored at least once in 13 of the last 14 head-to-head matches. Also a good sign for this match.
The first goal, however, has been scored by Sinsheim in each of the last three games
My Frankfurt Hoffenheim tip:
Shortly after the start of the season and before the international break, both teams want to get another positive result.
This is especially true for SGE, who are under pressure after their opening defeat. If they take their chances, it could be a lively game.
Therefore, my Frankfurt Hoffenheim betting tip is: Both teams score and over 2.5 goals are scored!
