RB Leipzig vs Hoffenheim Prediction

RB Leipzig Form

RB Leipzig are looking to bounce back from a recent setback and get back to winning ways. In their last three matches, they first took out Hertha Berlin by 0-1, before beating Augsburg by 3-2. The winning streak came to an end against Bayer Leverkusen, who ran out 2-0 winners. It has been a bit hit-and-miss for RB Leipzig but at least mostly hit, as they put four wins on the board in their previous six Bundesliga matches. They didn't draw any matches, but lost twice, scoring 11 goals while conceding nine.

Hoffenheim Form

Judging by their last three matches, we can expect a bit of everything from Hoffenheim at the moment. Against Schalke 04, they came out on top in a 2-0 win, before drawing 1-1 against Bayern Munich. Most recently they were left reeling in a 1-3 defeat win against FC Koln. Hoffenheim managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Bundesliga. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring 11 time and letting in six.

In current form, it is very difficult to argue against RB Leipzig claiming yet another win. Hoffenheim don't look strong enough right now to push their hosts to dropping points.

RB Leipzig scored 33 goals and conceded 18 in their last 15 games against teams from the bottom half of the Bundesliga table. They collected 31 points and nine victories. Hoffenheim fought their way to one win and five points from their last ten games against teams inside the top six. They were on target eight times in these matches, but also let in 16 goals. RB Leipzig have a record of 15 wins, six draws and eight defeats in the Bundesliga this season. Hoffenheim have eight wins, five draws and 16 defeats in the Bundesliga.
