Hoffenheim - LLWLWL
Mergim Berisha (Cruciate ligament tear), Stanley Nsoki (Hip problems) and Marco John (Cruciate ligament tear) won’t be available for Hoffenheim gaffer Pellegrino Matarazzo. Umut Tohumcu is ineligible for this match because of suspension.
We think that Hoffenheim could make use of the 3-5-2 formation for this one with Oliver Baumann, Ozan Kabak, Florian Grillitsch, Tim Drexler, Pavel Kaderabek, Grischa Proemel, Anton Stach, Andrej Kramaric, Robert Skov, Wout Weghorst and Maximilian Beier.
Hoffenheim will be hoping to bounce back here after the 3-2 Bundesliga 1 loss in their previous game against VfL Bochum.
In that game, Hoffenheim managed 55% possession and 10 attempts at goal with 4 on target. The scorer for Hoffenheim was Andrej Kramarić (73', 84'). At the other end, Bochum got 35 shots at goal with 12 of them on target. Kevin Stöger (34', 64') and Felix Passlack (45') scored for VfL Bochum.
Hoffenheim have been finding it hard to keep clean sheets of late, but they’ve also found ways to convert their own chances into goals. Analysis of their previous 6 games shows that Hoffenheim have conceded in 6 of them as well as getting on the scoresheet in 5 of those games. In any event, we’ll just have to find out if that trend will continue on here in this game.
RB Leipzig - WDWWWW
Due to a fully injury-free group available for selection, the RB Leipzig boss Marco Rose has zero fitness concerns whatsoever coming into this game.
There’s a good chance that Leipzig seem likely to play in a 4-4-2 system, going with Peter Gulacsi, Benjamin Henrichs, Willi Orban, Castello Lukeba, David Raum, Dani Olmo, Amadou Haidara, Xaver Schlager, Xavi Simons, Ikoma Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko.
RB Leipzig will come into the match following a 4-1 Bundesliga 1 win with the eclipse of Borussia Dortmund in their previous fixture.
In that match, RB Leipzig had 39% possession and 21 shots at goal with 7 of them on target. For RB Leipzig, goals were scored by Loïs Openda (23'), Benjamin Šeško (45'), Mohamed Simakan (46') and Christoph Baumgartner (80'). Borussia Dortmund got 12 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. Jadon Sancho (20') scored for Borussia Dortmund.
In a total of 5 of the previous 6 games involving RB Leipzig, a minimum of three goals have gone in. The overall average number of goals per match in that time is 3.67, with the number of goals averaged by RB Leipzig standing at 3.
Coming into this clash, RB Leipzig haven't been defeated in their previous 4 away league matches.
Hoffenheim possible starting lineup:
Baumann; Kabak, Grillitsch, Drexler; Kaderabek, Promel, Stach, Skov, Jurasek; Kramaric, Weghorst, Beier
RB Leipzig possible starting lineup:
Gulacsi; Henrichs, Orban, Castello, Raum; Olmo, Haidara, Schlager, Xavi; Sesko, Openda
Prediction: Hoffenheim 1-2 RB Leipzig
Friday's game has the potential to be high-scoring, with Hoffenheim failing to keep a clean sheet in 26 league matches and Leipzig conceding in 12 consecutive road games in the Bundesliga. Leipzig are backed to continue their fine form in a match they enter as favourites, having defeated Hoffenheim in five straight matches in all competitions, losing once in 13 previous games against Die Kraichgauer.
