Stadium: Red Bull Arena (Leipzig)
05.04.2025 16:30
It is getting serious in the Bundesliga, and Saturday’s clash between RB Leipzig and Hoffenheim at the Red Bull Arena carries weight. With just a handful of games left in the season, every point matters — and both sides know what’s at stake. For Leipzig, it’s about cementing a European spot and bouncing back from recent inconsistencies. For Hoffenheim, it’s survival in the European race and proof that they can still punch above their weight when it counts.
Leipzig have been hit-and-miss in recent weeks, picking up just one win in their last five league games. Still, they’ve shown moments of control, particularly in the 2-0 win over Dortmund that reminded everyone of their potential when they’re locked in. At home, they’ve been more dependable, even if the goals have dried up a little.
Hoffenheim, meanwhile, are limping into this one. With only one win in their last five and an away record that inspires little confidence, they’ll need to rediscover their edge quickly. Defensively fragile and lacking bite up front, they’ll be up against it — but stranger things have happened in the Bundesliga.

Leipzig are a team with big ambitions but patchy form. On their day, they can dominate some of the best teams in the league — just ask Dortmund, who were brushed aside 2-0 last month. But too often this season, Marco Rose’s side has slipped into cruise control, dropping points in games they should be winning. That inconsistency has kept them in a fight for European places rather than challenging at the very top.
In their last five matches, Leipzig have managed just one win, scoring five and conceding five — a perfectly even balance that tells the story of a team struggling to find rhythm. At home, though, they’ve looked more secure, and that could be the difference this weekend. With a backline that rarely gets exposed in their own stadium and just enough attacking threat to edge games, Leipzig won’t need to be flashy — just clinical.
TSG Hoffenheim
Hoffenheim are stuck in a rut and they know it. One win from their last five games tells the story, but it’s the performances that worry most. Goals have dried up — just four in their last five — and defensively they’ve conceded just as many. The spark that defined them earlier in the season has faded.
Their away form is a real concern. In recent weeks, they’ve been turned over comfortably by both Leverkusen and Frankfurt, and they’ve rarely looked like a side capable of controlling a game on unfamiliar ground. With European hopes slowly slipping away, they’ll need to dig deep — but against a Leipzig side with something to prove, this is a tough ask.

Expert Betting Tips
This game won’t be a thriller, but Leipzig should get the job done. They’ve got more structure, more purpose, and more to play for — and while Hoffenheim will try to keep things tight, they just don’t have enough going forward right now to really threaten.
