Vladimír Coufal: Hoffenheim's secret weapon in top-four push

After narrowly avoiding relegation at the end of 2024/25, Hoffenheim have genuine designs on securing UEFA Champions League qualification for only the second time in their relatively short Bundesliga history.

Christian Ilzer's team from the Baden-Württemberg town of Sinsheim occupied third place between Matchdays 18-26, before slipping to fifth on the back of a heavy loss to top-four rivals RB Leipzig in their final game before the March international break.

It's a race that will likely go down to the wire - Hoffenheim trail Leipzig on goal difference and third-in-the-table VfB Stuttgart by three points with seven games to go - but one the well-oiled Kraichgauer are capable of winning.

Consistency will be key, a quality free summer 2025 transfer Coufal has in abundance.
