"We have to take our chances this time!"

At Monday’s press conference (18/01/21), Bruno Labbadia and Michael Preetz discussed the upcoming battle with TSG Hoffenheim.

The packed fixture list is throwing up match after match after match. Bruno Labbadia’s men are back in action at the Olympiastadion just 75 hours after the final whistle in Cologne. Our next opponents are Europa League participants Hoffenheim, who remain winless in 2021 so far. They will be looking to change that in the capital, while the blue-and-whites aim to take all three points at home for the second time this year. Labbadia will have the same players available to him against the 14th-placed side as he did for the trip to Cologne. “Hoffenheim's strength is in their ability to play good football. They have lots of good technical players and have created more chances than their opponents in a few games that they have lost. We can expect stronger opposition than we have faced recently,” said the Hertha head coach of the upcoming match. “We have to create good chances like we did in Cologne, and this time we have to take them,” said Labbadia. Michael Preetz is also expecting a hard-fought encounter on Tuesday evening (19/01/20, 20:30 CET). "Both teams will be desperate to win this match. We aren’t satisfied with our points total, obviously. We want to change that as quickly as possible!”
