Hoffenheim hosts Union Berlin at PreZero-Arena on Saturday at 15:30. Union Berlin's coach, Steffen Baumgart, wants to score with a clear game plan, although Hoffenheim is on Champions League course with 39 points as third in the table after 19 matches. Baumgart said before the 20th matchday of the Bundesliga that Hoffenheim is one of the best teams at the moment. Union Berlin wants to make up for the home defeat against Borussia Dortmund with a successful experience in Hoffenheim. According to Baumgart, Christian Ilzer's team has a clear plan, with the best counter-pressing and good speed when playing balls vertically forward. However, Union Berlin has to do without several injured players, including Tom Rothe and Robert Skov. Baumgart takes it easy and has two alternatives in the back, with Stanley Nsoki and Derrick Köhn. The 2:4 defeat in the first leg serves as a kind of blueprint for Union Berlin. Baumgart wants to find a way to stop Hoffenheim's counter-pressing. Union Berlin wants to score with a clear game plan and stop Hoffenheim on their way to the Champions League.
