THE PREDICTION
Hoffenheim boss Sebastian Hoeness is under pressure following last Saturday’s 4-0 defeat at the hands of strugglers Schalke. It was their fourth loss in five Bundesliga games and leaves them worryingly close to the danger zone. Hoeness has not been helped by a lengthy injury list, with no fewer than 12 players missing the last game. Arminia Bielefeld are just two points behind them after their 1-0 win at home to Hertha BSC last Sunday. Uwe Neuhaus’ side have done well against the teams around them this term, with their other three league wins coming against the current bottom three. They have shown they can grind out results in these types of games so the visitors are certainly worth backing Draw No Bet.
