Schalke’s ability to reverse their worrying trend of results will be tested against an inconsistent Hoffenheim side as the teams clash on matchday nine of the Bundesliga campaign on Sunday. This match at SNP Arena in Sinsheim between the 12th-placed ‘Kraichgauers’ and the 17th-placed ‘Royal Blues’ could be a tight game, and our match prediction backs under 3.5 goals.
With nine points (W3, L5), Hoffenheim started this round two points above the relegation places. Schalke have six points (W1, D3, L4) and are two points adrift of safety, while being one point behind the relegation play-off spot.
Hoffenheim conceded late to draw 1-1 away at ten-man Crystal Palace in the UEFA Europa League game on Thursday night. It halted a two-game losing streak, including a 2-0 loss at Werder in the league last weekend. That was preceded by back-to-back wins, so Hoffenheim will look to get some momentum back. Two wins out of three home league games (L1) suggest they may enjoy playing here.
Schalke lost 2-0 at home to Leipzig last weekend for a fourth defeat in five matches (D1). Their league form is equally poor, with no wins in five (D2, L3), although they have been competitive on recent trips. Schalke avoided defeat in two of their last three away league games (W1, D1, L1), giving them a ray of hope.

Our Hoffenheim vs Schalke 04 Prediction
With only three points separating these sides in the lower-half of the table, this match has a distinctive relegation-battler theme. Hoffenheim are better-positioned than their visitors, although they need a win to reverse their recent rut. Schalke can do with a win too, having been stuck in the relegation zone for long, although within touching distance.
This is the first head-to-head since April 2023, and in that 2022-23 season, both league games between these sides were low-scoring ones. Our Hoffenheim vs Schalke 04 prediction is under 3.5 goals.
