A Sports Betting Pick by Niko

Hamburger SV
Hamburger SV have picked up just two points in the last five Bundesliga matches, losing three times. Back-to-back defeats against VfB Stuttgart (4-0) and Werder Bremen (3-1) keep them in the relegation battle, with them having a five-point advantage over the relegation playoff spot.
They should survive, but still need probably 3-4 points from the last four games to be perfectly safe. Now their next two games are against TSG Hoffenheim and Eintracht Frankfurt, both sides with Euro aspirations.
Hamburger SV failed to win any of their last four at home, losing twice and drawing twice.
They’ll also be without their Nigerian attacking midfielder, Philip Otele, who received a red card last weekend.
TSG Hoffenheim
TSG Hoffenheim achieved a last-gasp 2-1 win over Borussia Dortmund last weekend, keeping their Champions League hopes alive. They are fifth on the Bundesliga table, only two points behind VfB Stuttgart, so a win here would put them fourth before VfB Stuttgart’s game on Sunday.
TSG Hoffenheim’s recent away performances were not as good. They lost twice, won twice, and drew twice in their last six Bundesliga trips.
Goals have been consistent in their recent games, with all of their last four matches ending with 3+ scored.
The Betting Verdict
Both sides badly need points for opposite reasons. TSG Hoffenheim is in better shape than Hamburger SV, who are winless in five straight games.
Even though TSG Hoffenheim were unconvincing in their recent away games and dropped many points, I would go with them winning this game at fair odds.
