Bundesliga 23rd matchday, Sunday, 23/02/2025 at 7:30 pm
Has the breakthrough finally come for Hoffenheim after the 3-1 win in Bremen? In my Hoffenheim VfB Stuttgart betting tip, there are considerable doubts about a lasting turnaround for the team from the Kraichgau.
Coach Christian Ilzer took over the team in mid-November. After a 4-3 win against Leipzig at the start, there followed nine competitive games in a row without a win (3W, 6D).
On the road, TSG has managed to win two of its last three Bundesliga games. This has extended its lead over the relegation-threatened team to seven points.
However, things are not going so well at home. Hoffenheim has not won any of its last seven competitive matches at its home ground, the PreZero Arena (3 draws, 4 defeats).
And this streak threatens to continue this weekend as well. That’s because the reigning vice-champions from Stuttgart are guests in Sinsheim on Sunday evening. Last season, the Swabians’ fans completely dominated the stadium.
And this time, too, I am siding with the guests in my Hoffenheim VfB Stuttgart prediction with odds of 1.90 at NEO.bet for the tip “double chance x/2 & both teams to score”.
The prediction of the betting providers?
VfB has slipped to 7th place in the table. Nevertheless, the Swabians still have clear advantages compared to TSG in 15th place. This is also shown by the Hoffenheim vs VfB Stuttgart odds.
At the best online bookmakers, who also have free bets ready for you from time to time, there are odds of between 1.95 and 2.02 for an away win.
On the other side, the home side’s success is rewarded with average Hoffenheim v VfB Stuttgart betting odds of 3.40.
AI Prediction Hoffenheim vs VfB Stuttgart
Zu dieser Partie haben wir ChatGPT natürlich auch nach verschiedenen Hoffenheim VfB Stuttgart Tipps gefragt. Die KI schlägt uns mit einem geringen Risiko die Wette “Über 2,5 tore” vor.
And if you look at the last five meetings between the two clubs in Sinsheim, this tip would always have been successful. And this time, too, more than two goals, which are priced at 1.50 at Tipwin, seem a fairly safe bet.
We have to be a little more cautious with the suggestion with a medium risk. Because here ChatGPT advises us to bet on “Deniz Undav scores and Stuttgart win”.
At the same time, NEO.bet is offering us a nice odds of 3.40. However, national player Deniz Undav has not scored in the last four Bundesliga games.
Last but not least, we are taking a high risk with the AI betting tip “Stuttgart win both halves”. In return, there is also a high odds of 4.80 at Betano.
But the Swabians have rarely been so dominant in the recent past. However, anyone who still supports the guests in the derby could still redeem the current Betano voucher with their Hoffenheim VfB Stuttgart betting tip.
Analysis: Hoffenheim vs VfB Stuttgart
TSG wanted to show a reaction to the bitter 0-4 home defeat against Union Berlin last weekend. And as guests in Bremen, it worked quite well.
With a significantly improved attitude, they did not let themselves be discouraged even by a recent setback. After the 3-1 in Kiel, there was the second victory of the current Bundesliga round in the 3-1 in Bremen.
However, the success in the Weser Stadium was on shaky ground towards the end. Some luck was needed to fend off the final offensive and the many chances of the home side.
Now the team of coach Christian Ilzer wants to polish up the home record. 11 points after the first 11 home games mean the second-weakest season in their own stadium.
Only in the previous season did the Kraichgauer collect even fewer points at home at the same time (10). Hoffenheim has also been waiting for a clean sheet for 31 home games.
Some regular players are still missing. Hoffenheim will have to do without professionals like Baumann, Bebou, Hlozek, Kabak, Prömel, Samassekou, Tabakovic and Tohumcu against VfB.
Odds Analysis
Still haven’t had enough after our AI tips? Well then, I have more Hoffenheim VfB Stuttgart tips for you. For example, winter signing Gift Orban has done well for the home side.
The attacker scored his third goal in just his sixth Bundesliga appearance against Werder. If he scores again on Sunday, Bet365 will pay out at odds of 3.40.
In addition, no team in the Bundesliga has scored as many goals in the second half as VfB (65%). Furthermore, the Swabians conceded 20 of 33 goals after the break.
We use this knowledge for our Hoffenheim Stuttgart betting tip “More goals in HZ 2”, for which we get odds of 1.93 at ODDSET.
Hoffenheim vs VfB Stuttgart: The Swabians have lost something.
VfB have lost three of their last four Bundesliga games (1S). That’s exactly the same number of defeats as the Swabians conceded in their previous 17 games in the top flight combined (9W, 5D).
The 2-1 loss at home to Wolfsburg last weekend was particularly bitter. Coach Sebastian Hoeneß’s men only took the lead in the 72nd minute.
But after that, the home side became more passive and still gave up the game. In addition, the team repeatedly lacks determination and precision in the final third.
With seven defeats this season, the team in the black and white strip has already conceded as many as in the entire previous season.
The VfB jokers are on fire!
On the other hand, they are currently doing quite well away from home. Stuttgart have won three of their last four Bundesliga away games (1N) and have only lost one of their last six away games.
Coach Sebastian Hoeneß also has a lot of quality on the bench. Only FC Bayern have scored as many substitute goals as VfB this Bundesliga season (11 each).
The Swabians also have the third-best shooting accuracy in the league, with 53.9 percent of all shots on target. The number of players out with injuries is also continuing to decrease.
Only Al-Dakhil, Raimund, Touré and Zagadou are now out against TSG.
The “derby” between the two clubs from Baden-Württemberg has taken place 30 times. Stuttgart lead the way with 12 wins to 8 (10U).
In Sinsheim, the balance is completely even with five wins each (5U). TSG has only lost one of the last six Bundesliga games against VfB Stuttgart (3U, 1S).
This defeat was a 0-3 loss in the last encounter at their own stadium. The first leg in the current season in the MHP Arena ended in a 1-1 draw.
The hosts only managed to score the goal that made the final score in the ninth minute of stoppage time.
My Hoffenheim VfB Stuttgart Tip:
The Kraichgauer are hoping for a turnaround after their convincing win in Bremen. However, I still can’t see that at TSG. Instead, I see VfB in the lead in this “derby”.
In recent weeks, Stuttgart has felt more comfortable away from home than in front of their own fans. In addition, Hoffenheim has had significantly more difficulties in the PreZero Arena than away from home.
So I don’t think the home side can get more than a point at best. My Hoffenheim Stuttgart betting tip is: Double chance x/2 & both teams to score!
