Hoffenheim play host to Borussia Monchengladbach at the PreZero Arena in round 15 of the German Bundesliga on Saturday. Christian Ilzer’s men have failed to win their last six matches in all competitions and will head into the weekend looking to find their feet.
Hoffenheim needed a 91st-minute strike from 26-year-old forward Jacob Bruun Larsen to salvage a 1-1 draw against Borussia Dortmund at Signal Iduna Park last Sunday.
With that result, Ilzer’s side have gone six straight games without a win across all competitions, losing three and claiming three draws since a 4-3 victory over RB Leipzig on November 23.
Hoffenheim have won three of their 14 Bundesliga games this season while losing six and claiming five draws to collect 14 points and sit 14th in the table, just four points above the bottom three.
Borussia Monchengladbach, on the other hand, turned in a solid attacking display last time out when they thrashed Holstein Kiel 4-1 at Borussia Park.
Gerardo Seoane’s men have gone unbeaten in six of their last seven outings across all competitions — picking up four wins and two draws — with a 3-1 defeat against Freiburg on November 30 being the exception.
With 21 points from 14 matches, Monchengladbach are currently 11th in the league standings, level on points with 10th-placed Wolfsburg and could move into fifth place with a win this weekend.
