Team News

Union Berlin
Hoffenheim
  • Robin Knoche missed the game in Madrid and remains doubtful with a knock. Brenden Aaronson is available after suspension, but Kevin Volland is on the naughty step for two more games.
  • Rani Khedira is nearing a return from a thigh problem, while András Schäfer is on his way back from a foot operation. Laurenz Dehl is ruled out with a knee injury.
  • Dennis Geiger has problems with his adductors, while Marco John and Bambasé Conté are both not being rushed back from injury.

Prediction

  • From the dizzy heights of Real Madrid and the Bernabeu to Hoffenheim, it's a pretty ridiculous comedown for Union Berlin.
  • 5th placed Hoffenheim have three straight wins with their games this term tending to be rich in goals.
  • Union lost their proud 24-game unbeaten Bundesliga home record in their last outing in front of their own fans, and have scored seven of their nine goals this season via headers.
  • Neither of these two sides have drawn this season so far. This could be their first share of the spoils.
