TSG Hoffenheim
TSG Hoffenheim is on a good Bundesliga run of three wins against St.Pauli, Heidenheim, and Wolfsburg, scoring 3 goals in each of those wins.
Their games have been goal festivals since last season, with now 12 of their last 14 Bundesliga matches ending with three or more goals scored.
TSG Hoffenheim is sixth in the Bundesliga before this round, which creates a positive team atmosphere. However, let’s not forget that TSG Hoffenheim are still among the worst home teams in the Bundesliga.
They suffered three straight home defeats before finally winning 3-1 against Heidenheim in their last home match.
Regarding their recent Bundesliga duels against RB Leipzig, TSG Hoffenheim have beaten them only once in the last six, losing four times and drawing once.
RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig is having a dream start under coach Ole Werner, winning in 7 of their 9 Bundesliga games so far.
Last week’s dominant 3-1 win over VfB Stuttgart was RB Leipzig’s third in a row, and a sixth from the last seven where they won both at half-time and full-time.
To me, RB Leipzig looks like the only challenger to Bayern Munich for the Bundesliga title this season, but we’ll see if they can maintain the same tempo for the whole season.
So far, RB Leipzig has impressed in their away matches, going unbeaten in the last four and winning three of those.
Bad news for RB Leipzig is the shoulder injury of their 22-year-old centre-back Castello Lukeba last week, who is now doubtful for this game. Lukeba was the most standard defender this season, not missing a single minute in all of RB Leipzig’s matches.
The Betting Verdict
In the clash between two sides in excellent form, I am siding with the visitors, RB Leipzig.
TSG Hoffenheim lost three of their four home games, while RB Leipzig won three of their last four away games and looked very dominant recently.
We are likely to see some goals here, but the main bet is on RB Leipzig to win at good odds.
