Kickers Wurzburg vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting Tips - DFB Pokal
by Kennedy Kechula in DFB Pokal Predictions
Hoffenheim’s season will kick off with an away match at AKON Arena against Regionalliga side Würzburger Kickers in the DFB Pokal. The two sides meet in the first round of the competition and here’s our preview and prediction of the match.
Würzburger’s season started much earlier and they’ve already played five matches, four being in the league. It has been somewhat solid for them, losing just once in the five matches. Right before this game, they won back-to-back matches, the most recent a 5-0 thrashing of Ansbach.
This match will mark their first meeting with Hoffenheim since a corresponding fixture in 2019. That ended 3-3, with Hoffenheim winning on penalties. Having scored 19 times in their opening five matches, we expect Würzburger to send forth an attacking team for this game as well.
Hoffenheim featured three English teams in their closing preseason friendly matches, and won none. A 2-0 loss to Fulham came after a 1-0 defeat by Ipswich Town and a 2-2 draw with Norwich City.
The last two presented a shift in scoring forms, with their first three friendly games having returned at least four goals. Hoffenheim had also closed their competitive campaign in good attacking shape, with their matches rarely seeing under three goals.
Their final five outings last season produced an average of 5.4 goals. In that run, Hoffenheim scored four or more three times. This is the form they’ll want to start their new campaign in. The Bundesliga side will, however, seek to defend better, having managed just one clean sheet in the last five competitive matches.

Our Kickers Wurzburg vs Hoffenheim Prediction
Würzburger Kickers and Hoffenheim do not meet often, but their only encounter in 2019 yielded a high score. Six goals were netted on the day, with the clash going into post-match penalties to break the tie.
Würzburger, who are expected to play as underdogs, have already started their season and will feel more competitive coming here. They’ve been scoring a lot lately and will fancy the same against Bundesliga opposition.
Hoffenheim are also good in attack, which makes the goals market a good pick. Our prediction for Würzburger Kickers v Hoffenheim is for the game to produce over 3.5 goals.
