RB Leipzig vs Hoffenheim prediction

RB Leipzig faces a stiff Bundesliga test on Sunday when they welcome Hoffenheim to the Red Bull Arena.

It´s a busy week in Leipzig with RB facing a trip to Atalanta on Thursday for the 2nd leg of their Europa League tie with the contest poised following a 1:1 draw in Germany this past week. 

Domestically, RB remains in the final CL qualifying spot but with a mere 3 point cushion to surprise package Freiburg, Domenic Tedesco´s side will need to retain their focus if they are to return to Europe´s premier competition next season.

RB were held to a 0:0 draw in their most recent home league match and the hosts have struggled to turn draws into wins at the Red Bull Arena with each of their last 4 matches (all comps) at home finishing as stalemates.

RB Leipzig vs Eintracht Betting Tips

Visiting Hoffenheim arrives in Leipzig currently in 6th spot, just 4 points behind RB despite losing both of their last 2 league matches. On the road, Hoffenheim have struggled for consistency having won 4 and lost 5 of their last 10 away league outings. 

Recent meetings between these sides have been tight with each of the last 4 contests finishing with under 2.5 goals scored while only 2 of the last 7 meetings seeing BTTS and considering recent form, another close contest seems likely here.

With RB facing a tough trip to Italy on Thursday, we expect the hosts to perhaps have their eye on that prize and Hoffenheim, while inconsistent in recent weeks, could take a positive result home having achieved something similar in 2 of their last 3 visits to this venue.

Final score 1:1
