Lipsia-Hoffenheim is a Bundesliga match on the 14th day and is played on Saturday at 6:30pm: tv, predictions.
Having put the seal on a Champions League berth, now Leipzig, fourth in the Bundesliga standings, is about to have a busy few months focused on what is the usual seasonal goal: taking qualification for the next European event again next year.
What they are going through right now is certainly a very good period for Rose’s team, which is coming off three wins in a row and has put things back on track a little after a period of tarnish: it’s not enough, however, to be completely comfortable. Behind them is a Dortmund pushing to get back inside the top four, and Hoffenheim, the next opponent, is also there, ready to exploit any misstep. There are six points of difference between the two teams, which is objectively a lot but worth only two positions in the standings: the guests, in fact, are in sixth place and last weekend they found again after a long time a very important victory at home against Bochum.
Incredible, moreover, the external path of Matarazzo’s team: that yes, in the last three they have collected only a draw, but before that they had placed a beauty of five victories in a row. Now, to think that this no-no can happen against Leipzig, too, does not fit. This match seems headed for a victory, even a fairly easy one we might add, by the hosts.
The prediction
The thing it seems is that this match will give at least one goal per team and also at least three goals overall. Leipzig-Hoffenheim, moreover, could unlock already in the first half. In the end for the three points Openda and his teammates will take it. Few discussions.
