Hoffenheim's higher position in the standings and recent attacking form give them the upper hand in this encounter. Their ability to score freely, especially at home, could prove decisive against a M'gladbach side experiencing inconsistencies. A key factor to watch will be Hoffenheim's ability to convert their chances into goals, as this could set the tone for a high-scoring affair.
