RBL
Hoffenheim
  • David Raum is available after suspension, but Dominik Szoboszlai is on the naughty step after his sending off against Leverkusen as is Amadou Haidara after collecting five yellow cards.
  • Top scorer Christopher Nkunku is nearing a return from a thigh injury, while Xaver Schlager had surgery on an ankle injury.
  • Goalkeeper Péter Gulácsi is on his way back from an ACL injury.
  • Munas Dabbur is available after suspension. Jacob Bruun Larsen is on his way back from a groin operation.
  • Benjamin Hübner has been forced to retire because of a persistent ankle injury. Kevin Vogt is battling a knee injury and tends to be assessed nearer game time.

Prediction

  • Decent on home soil, Leipzig have suffered six away league defeats ruining any hopes of a title challenge.
  • Hoffenheim still have work to do to avoid relegation, despite picking up points of late under new coach Pellegrino Matarazzo.
  • Leipzig won the reverse fixture 3-1 and can claim the three points to boost their Champions League qualification quest in a goal-rich affair.
