Hoffenheim
  • Hwang Hee-Chan has picked up an ankle injury, while Justin Kluivert is also struggling with an ankle knock.
  • Dayot Upamecano and Nordi Mukiele are both available after suspension and will battle reported Liverpool target Ibrahima Konaté for a spot in defence.
  • January signing Dominik Szoboszlai has adductor problems and has still not played his first game for the club.
  • Angelino could return after almost eight weeks out with a muscle injury, while Denmark striker Yussuf Poulsen is over a muscle injury.
  • German international Benjamin Henrichs has returned from a knee injury, but Konrad Laimer is still on his way back from his own knee injury.
  • Ryan Sessegnon could return to the starting line up, but Sebastian Rudy and the Kevins, Vogt and Akpoguma all have knocks and will be assessed nearer the game.
  • Andrej Kramaric has ankle problems, while Sargis Adamyan suffered a thigh injury playing for Armenia.
  • Marco John is struggling with a hip injury, while Ishak Belfodil has a back injury.

Prediction

  • Five points behind with six games to go, RB Leipzig's title hopes appear remote, but at least the side from Eastern Germany kept the title race interesting into April.
  • Thirteen clean sheets from reliable goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi are a league best for Leipzig, while Hoffenheim are not out of relegation danger just yet.
  • Leipzig should seal the three points on home soil as coach Julian Nagelsmann greets his former club.
