RB Leipzig Hoffenheim match preview

This is a very important match in the fight for European positions, or more precisely for placement in Europa League, although the winner of this duel might also get in the fight for the Champions League. Leipzig and Hoffenheim are currently holding the fifth and sixth position with one point more for the host, and after the brilliant last season both teams have played in the Champions League, with the proviso that Hoffenheim was eliminated already in the qualifiers. Leipzig is currently in a series of three games without defeat, while Hoffenheim is in a better form with seven games without defeat. In the first part of the season it was a convincing 4-0 for Hoffenheim.

RB Leipzig

The team of Leipzig has entered a new crisis, which cost them the elimination from Europa League. They reached the quarterfinals and in the first match they defeated Marseille with 1-0 and they hoped for the semi-finals, however, they experienced a defeat at Velodrome, although they took the lead in that game. Their European adventure is over and they can completely devote to the championship where they have celebrated in the previous two rounds.

Between two duels with Marseille, they were mastered by Bayer on their field and it was another game in which they took the lead but did not retain the advantage. In the last round they played in Bremen and were again outplayed, with the proviso that they won one point when they played 1-1 against Werder. The shooter was their reservist Lookman, while coach Hasenhuttl is having problems with injuries and exhaustion of his players, and now he will not be able to count on Sabitzer, Laimer and Halstenberg.

Probable lineups RB Leipzig: Gulacsi – Klostermann, Konate, Orban, Bernardo – Keita, Demme – Lookman, Forsberg – Augustin, Ti.Werner

Hoffenheim

Unlike their host, Hoffenheim is in great mood lately and we can see they are full of confidence and the last time they were defeated was at mid-February by Schalke as guests. They were not defeated in the previous seven and they celebrated four times with three draws. They are scoring goals easily and we should say that they at least once shook the net of their opponents once in every match. They were particularly in good mood against Cologne, which they defeated with 6-0, and then in the Cup finals by Eintracht, they played 1-1.

In the last round they did not have the mercy against HSV and they have probably sent their rival in the lower rank with 2-0. They have resolved everything in the first half hour of the game and were completely dominant by the end of the match, though they had some problems with their team. Striker Uth could not play due to yellow cards, while Vogt returned to the final line. Szalai got a chance in the attack and scored one goal, while Nad.Amiri also played. Now they are only missing midfielder Geiger and their coach Nagelsmann can combine as he wants.

Probable lineups 1899 Hoffenheim: Baumann – Akpoguma, Vogt, B.Hubner – Kaderabek, N.Schulz – Grillitsch – Nad.Amiri, Demirbay – Kramaric, Gnabry

Verdict:

This is an important match for both teams and the winner stays in the fight for placement in the Champions League, and we will give the advantage to the host, even though Hoffenheim is much better. Leipzig is the host and they have no European commitments, and they want to return for a serious defeat in the first part of the championship.
