Sinsheim (AP) - TSG 1899 Hoffenheim against Bayer Leverkusen and that at the unloved fan time on a Monday evening (8.30 p.m. / DAZN): At the end of the 28th Bundesliga match day, a lot comes together that many football fans have done in recent years like to criticize loudly.

In Corona times, the audience is left out anyway and the Monday games, which have already been abolished for the future, are currently "not an issue" for Hoffenheim's head coach Sebastian Hoeneß.

He prefers to play on the weekend, but currently “I don't want to open a barrel,” said Uli Hoeneß's 38-year-old nephew.

In the current standings, the Kraichgauer duel with the Werkself is very explosive.

For Hoffenheim, which set itself the goal of international competition before the start of the season, there is a risk of slipping into the relegation zone after Arminia Bielefeld and Hertha BSC scored points at the weekend.

«We will show a reaction.

This is what we're going to do.

I'm not going to make a big announcement.

It is time to just deliver and not just talk, ”Hoeneß clarified.

After TSG lost three games in a row, all European goals are finally ticked off.

After cup defeats against second division Greuther Fürth (DFB-Pokal) and Molde FK (Europa League), a thoroughly disappointing season threatens.

«We have been warned.

There is no look up, but there has to be a look ahead, »said Hoeneß.

Whether he wants to or not: After the season at the latest, the club should also be about its future.

Predecessor Alfred Schreuder had to go to Hoffenheim in June 2020, although he had a significantly better record.

Leverkusen, who parted ways with Peter Bosz in March and is now relying on Hannes Wolf until the end of the season, has already changed coach.

After the successful start with a 2-1 win against Schalke, things should now get a little better in terms of play.

“It is definitely even smoother and rounder,” admitted Wolf after the successful debut.

“But these are things that you have to work for.

First come the “basics”, then come “the playful on top”.

With a win in Sinsheim, Leverkusen could catch up to fifth Dortmund and widen the gap to seventh place.
