  HOF

Preview

Two sides who have made poor starts meet in Sinsheim. Hoffenheim are 14th with 3 points, and Hamburg are 16th, also on 3 points, with one win and three defeats. Hoffenheim have the healthier squad: the Bundesliga's official preview lists no absentees for them. Hamburg's attack is thin. Patson Daka, who has played in every league game, tore a muscle fibre in his thigh after Zambia duty, and coach Merlin Polzin says Saturday comes too soon for him and for Albert Gronbaek. Terem Moffi has a knee problem and trained alone, and Yussuf Poulsen also worked individually after coming off early in a friendly. Hamburg have yet to score away from home this season and have conceded 3.5 per away game. Hoffenheim have won the last two meetings, 4-1 at home and 2-1 in Hamburg. With Hamburg short of strikers and a full squad for the hosts, we rate a Hoffenheim win at about 69%.
