Betting Insights
- The bookies have Hansa Rostock priced as slight favorites at 2.0, Hoffenheim II at 3.25 and the draw at 3.8.
- Given Hansa’s form and Hoffenheim’s poor recent results, the visitors are priced at 2.0 to come out on top in this game.
- Over 2.5 goals is a bit of a short favorite at 1.5, but there is value in Hansa Rostock to nick this game.
- Hoffenheim II are likely to come out and attack this match from the outset, and Hansa Rostock will be compact in their midfield with their pressing strategy.
Prediction
- This contrast in styles should lead to a chess match that is entertaining for the neutral, but Hansa Rostock are fancied to nick the game.
- The 1899ers can surprise the league, as they proved when beating Hansa 1-0 earlier this season, but Hansa’s superior overall form, away form and the odds on the game indicate that a Hansa win is the best way to play this match-up.
