RB Leipzig vs Hoffenheim Prediction & Betting tips
The football weekend in Germany starts with a potentially interesting game. RB Leipzig takes on TSG Hoffenheim in-house.
RB Leipzig:
RB Leipzig was hit hard two weeks ago. To really compete for the national title, Bayern Munich had to be won in their own stadium, but, somewhat unfortunately, they lost to the Munich team, so that the deficit rose to seven points. Last weekend, that deficit was narrowed again to five points. Leipzig itself won without too much difficulty at SV Werder Bremen (1-4), while the Bavarian leader lost points.
To become champion, Leipzig actually has to win all of its six remaining games, and also hope that Bayern will lose many points. The chance of this is of course small. “Although we have many young players in the team, we play a constant season,” coach Julian Nagelsmann complimented his players on Wednesday. So it is ‘good’, and it can still be ‘very good’. We would be very happy about that, ‘said the trainer who also has a chance of winning the DFB Pokal this season. Werder Bremen will be the next opponent in the semi-finals in that tournament in two weeks.
Hoffenheim:
TSG Hoffenheim only came into action on Monday in the most recent round of play. The games hated by fans on Monday will disappear for the foreseeable future, but this season has to be played on that day every now and then. Hoffenheim faced Bayer Leverkusen. Both teams are able to deliver spectacular matches, but this did not happen in Sinsheim on Monday. The match surprisingly ended in a 0-0 draw.
For Hoffenheim, the current season is still one without many highlights. The club that has European ambitions even has to put in a small final sprint in order not to be relegated. Hoffe is currently at 31 points, and has only a five point margin to the danger zone. “We have to compete in order to get into the match,” trainer Sebastian Hoeneß already revealed something of his battle plan for Friday. “We also have to play the counters well,” said the Hoffenheim coach.
