Betting on RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig’s participation in the upcoming Champions League remains in doubt due to its inconsistent performance in recent weeks.
With four losses in the last seven games, three of which were away, Marco Rose’s team has dropped to fifth place in the standings with 51 points. While it is only two points behind Freiburg and four behind Union Berlin, its schedule is far from easy.
Two of the last five games will be on the road, including matches against Freiburg and a Bayern Munich team in the thick of the title race. This makes it crucial for RB Leipzig to secure three points at home this Saturday against a seemingly easier opponent.
Leipzig’s main objective in front of its home fans will be to showcase its best form, which includes being the third-best offensive team of the season with 53 goals scored and tied for third in the fewest goals conceded with 37.
As hosts, the Red Bulls have only suffered two defeats in 14 games played, although those two losses came in its last five matches due to its recent dip in form.
Possible Lineup (3-4-3): Janis Blaswich; Lukas Klostermann, Willi Orban, Josko Gvardiol; Kevin Kampl, Xaver Schlager, Amadou Haidara, Benjamin Henrichs; Dani Olmo, Timo Werner, André Silva.
Betting on TSG 1899 Hoffenheim
With just five games left in the season, the situation for Hoffenheim looks far from encouraging, despite currently standing outside the relegation zone.
Actually, the Blue and Whites in 14th place on the league ranking with 29 points, four ahead of Stuttgart for the playoff spot. However, this could change in the final stretch considering its tough schedule ahead.
Not only does it have to play three of its last five games away from home, but four of those matches will be against teams in the top nine of the standings. Furthermore, it’ll finish the season away at a Stuttgart side fighting for survival.
Although it’s gone two games unbeaten away from home, Hoffenheim has lost eight of its 14 away games this season. The team has only scored 18 goals on the road, which is the sixth-lowest in the league, while conceding 24.
Overall, Hoffenheim is in a good position considering it only won one game between matchday nine and 24, drawing two and losing seven in a row before going on a four-game unbeaten run.
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Oliver Baumann; Kevin Akpoguma, Kevin Vogt, John Brooks; Pavel Kaderábek, Angelo Stiller, Dennis Geiger, Angeliño, Andrej Kramaric; Christoph Baumgartner; Ihlas Bebou.
JefeBet Prediction
Hoffenheim managed to pull off a surprise draw against Bayern Munich in the last away game, but it’s unlikely that it will be able to repeat that feat this week.
Meanwhile, RB Leipzig hasn’t been in the best form recently, but it has been nearly unbeatable at home all season. This gives this team a great chance to keep its hopes alive for the next Champions League against a vulnerable opponent.
The Blue and Whites has lost more than half of its away games and is one of the clubs that has conceded the most goals in this condition. Meanwhile, Leipzig has had no trouble beating its opponent twice this season, and it has won six straight games at home against it. Therefore, at JefeBet, we predict that the home team will take all three points.
