THE PREDICTION
The short winter break possibly came at a bad time for both of these sides. Hoffenheim claimed only their fourth league win of the season last time out with an impressive success away to Borussia Monchengladbach, and with their next four fixtures after this all against teams currently in the bottom five, they will be looking to build up some momentum and climb up the table. As for Freiburg, they have won their last three Bundesliga matches although they were knocked out of the cup in their last outing. There is little to choose between the two teams but given that Hoffenheim have only failed to score in one of their last nine league games, and the visitors in only one of their last 10, Both Teams to Score is the best bet.
