The upcoming 12th round of the German
Bundesliga brings the top game between
1899 Hoffenheim and
VfL Wolfsburg. Both teams are in the circle of title favourites. Hoffenheim is fifth, last years champion Wolfsburg is on table rank 7, but only 5 points behind league leader Bayer Leverkusen.
1899 Hoffenheim finished the Bundesliga season 2008/09 on the good seventh rank. This year they will repeat at least this position, secretly their hope is to come under the top 5. At the moment Hoffenheim faces rank 5, only 3 points behind Bundesliga leader Bayer Leverkusen. Rangnick´s is very strong in home games and unbeaten in the Rhein-Neckar-Arena so far. Hoffenheim has won the last 3 home games: 3-0 vs VfL Bochum, 5-1 vs Hertha BSC and 3-0 against 1. FC Nürnberg. In the game on Saturday against Wolfsburg coach Ralf Rangnick will have to pass on some keyplayers, at last injured Andreas Ibertsberger (broken cheekbone) in the away game against Freiburg.
Last year champions VfL Wolfsburg is in the league table 2 points behind Hoffenheim on rank 7. The last Bundesliga round brought a 3-3 against FSV Mainz 05. Wolfsburg has lost 1 of their 5 away games this Bundesliga season (2 wins, 2 draws, 1 defeat). Perfect was their performance on Tuesday in the Champions League away game against Besiktas Istanbul. VfL Wolfsburg won 3-0 through goals from Zvjezdan Misimovic, Christian Gentner and Edin Dzeko.
