Hoffenheim will seek to end the three game winless run this Wednesday when they travel to Deutsche Bank Par for a clash against Eintracht Frankfurt in the 14th round of the Bundesliga. Kickoffs at 22:30 EAT.
The hosts, currently fifth in the standings with 23 points, remain on course in all three competitions having also defeated Stuttgarter Kickers to reach the third round of the DFB-Pokal, with Glanser a hugely popular figure in Frankfurt having ended their long wait for a European trophy by lifting the Europa League in his first season in charge. Coming into this game, Frankfurt lost one and won five of their last six matches.
Eintracht Frankfurt prepares for this game after 1-2 Bundesliga victory to beat Augsburg in their last encounter. In that game, Eintracht Frankfurt had 58% possession, 12 shots with seven of them on target and goals scored by Sebastian Rode (13′) and Ansgar Knauff (64′). Augsburg got 10 shots with four of them on target and a goal by Mërgim Berisha (1′).
Hoffenheim, on the other hand is struggling to maintain their status at the top half of the table, they are currently placed ninth with 18 points after failing to win in any of their last three matches. With Mainz, Wolfsburg and FC Koln all within touching distance of them, though, Hoffenheim’s top-half status could change if they do not claim a positive result against the Europa League winners this week.
Hoffenheim will be hoping to turn things around here after 1-3 Bundesliga losing efforts to RB Leipzig in their most recent fixture. In that game, Hoffenheim managed 37% possession, 11 shots with three of them on target and a goal scored by Georginio Rutter (50′). RB Leipzig got 17 shot with eight of them on target and goals by Christopher Nkunku (17′, 57′) and Dani Olmo (69′).
