Leipzig vs Hoffenheim Prediction: Leipzig will have no trouble reaching the quarterfinals

Leipzig will face Hoffenheim in the German Cup round of 16. The Bulls are in excellent condition for the game, which cannot be said about the guests.

Leipzig reached the round of 16 in the National Cup fairly quickly. First, they beat Teutonia 8:0 by one goal and then Hamburg (4:0). It is worth noting that the Bulls show quality games. In the Bundesliga, they are struggling to retain their place in the top three, having one point more than inferior Borussia D.

Leipzig performed magnificently after the winter break. Since then, they didn't lose, drawing with the powerful Bayern (1:1), beating Schalke (6:1) and Stuttgart (2:1).

Hoffenheim also had no problems in the initial stages of the German Cup. In the round of 64, they confidently beat Rödinghausen (2:0) and then delighted their audience with a smashing victory over Schalke (5:1). However, in the upcoming game, the team expects a more severe opponent, plus they will play away, where they do not feel entirely comfortable. Thus, Hoffenheim spent eight away games in the current Bundesliga schedule, only two of which were stronger.

Hoffenheim doesn't look as convincing as Leipzig in the Bundesliga this season. The Bulls are in the top three and are fighting for a place in the Champions League competition, while the opponents show results that are below average. It is also worth noting that Red Bull's victory in the German Cup is one of the key goals in the current season, as there is no way to win the championship (Bayern has a severe advantage), and not all the grands make an emphasis on the cup. On this basis, Leipzig will reach the tournament's quarterfinals without much trouble.
