THE PREDICTION

A fantastic 0-4 victory for Hoffenheim away to Augsburg on the opening weekend of the season sees them head into their first home league match riding the crest of a wave as Union Berlin visit the PreZero Arena. The visitors themselves will have been happy to take point from a strong Bayer Leverkusen side last time out and will have to be at their best defensively here. Whilst Hoffenheim do have a number of injury absentees, the strength-in-depth within their squad is strong and with home advantage in their favour alongside their potent attack being full of confidence, they are to be favoured here draw no bet.
