There should be plenty of goals when Croatian striker Andrej Kramaric and his Hoffenheim welcome Union Berlin on Sunday. Read our Hoffenheim vs Union Berlin prediction and betting tips.
Hoffenheim started very well the last term and finished in the same way. In between, there were only performances to forget. Along with Borussia Dortmund, Hoffenheim is on the joint-longest unbeaten run of all 18 current Bundesliga teams with eight matches. They will be more than satisfied to continue this enjoyable streak in a search of consistency and a top-tier place in the standings. Early in the last season, they eased past Bayern Munich with a more than comfortable 4-1 victory at home. Similarly, they started this term, beating Augsburg 4-0 away. As against Bavarians, Kramaric was the main star of the Hoffenheim show and continued his streak, scoring at least once in the last six matches.
One of the main reasons for Hoffenheim's failures in the last season were injuries and many players that were out because of the virus. This time, the situation is almost the same, as Ihlas Bebou, Ishak Belfodil, and Florian Grillitsch are still out of the squad. Sebastian Honess, as ex-Bayern coach in youth categories, used his knowledge to reach out for quality players so summer signing Angelo Stiller, who arrived from the Bayern Munich reserve team already impressed as a central midfield partner of Sebastian Rudy, one of the key players in this roster.
Hoffenheim: Baumann - Akpoguma, Posch, Vogt (c), Raum - Rudy, Samassekou - Baumgartner, Kramaric, Bruun Larsen - Dabbur
Out: Bebou (match fitness), Belfodil (thigh), Bicakcic (knee), Hübner (ankle),
Nordtveit (thigh), Skov (foot)
Doubtful: Grillitsch (muscular), Kaderabek (calf)
Coach: Sebastian Hoeneß
Union Berlin continued to raise their portfolio as a firm, tough opponent early in the new season. A decent 1-1 draw at home vs Leverkusen once again showed that Union is a master of blocking rival's creativity. They were solid at the back and made just a few mistakes, preventing an individually better team to produce more than two or three chances in 90 minutes. In the attack, they will heavily rely on Taiwo Awoniyi - Max Kruse partnership that created the only goal in the first game of the season. Union had a busy schedule as they claimed a big 4-0 win in the first leg of their UEFA Europa Conference League against Finnish KuPS.
With two goals in Finland and finally free from the contract with Liverpool Awoniyi could be an early contender for the most improved player in this season. He has the skill, speed, and in the first games of the season, he showed great composure and finishing from limited chances. His goal conversion is on the high percentage and if he continues to play in the same manner Union will have a rising star in their roster. Urs Fischer's side is not so good away from home, they had just four wins in the whole last season and if there is room for improvement, collecting points as visiting team is something to upgrade.
Union: Luthe - Friedrich, Knoche, Baumgartl - Trimmel (c), Khedira, Haraguchi, Gießelmann - Ingvartsen, Kruse - Awoniyi
Out: -
Doubtful: Dajaku (match fitness), Prömel (match fitness)
Coach: Urs Fischer

Daniel Garcia is originally from Basque Country, and as a kid who grew up just a few streets from Mendizorrotza Stadium, the choice of Deportivo Alavés as his favourite club is more than obvious. Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
