Hoffenheim - RB Leipzig predictions

A mere glance at the betting odds for this match should tell you most you need to know. A home win here is almost an impossible outcome, so it’s not very likely we’ll see solid betting opportunities in the 1X2 market.

If you’re just looking for a simple 1X2 football bet, we suggest backing the away team in this match. RB Leipzig are clearly more likely to win this matchup, though Hoffenheim are more than able to put up a good fight.

Hoffenheim are coming off from a narrow 3:2 away defeat in the previous round. The home-field disadvantage and a very difficult match-up against Bochum ensured that they spent most of the game trailing behind.

With 5.34 odds to win and home-field advantage, Team from Leipzig were clearly likely to win their previous Bundesliga match before kick-off. The game went about as expected – they took an early lead and kept at it until they eventually won 4:1.

Experts have pointed at Hoffenheim’s defence as their biggest issue at the moment. They conceded 10 goals over the last 3 Bundesliga games.

RB Leipzig netted 9 goals in their last three showdowns, which means this match might be a great chance to look at Over Goals markets. With some luck, a confirmed Over 4.5 seems quite plausible.

The Red Bulls are trailing the Bundesliga leaders by 19 points and will be hoping to close the gap on Friday. As the season approaches its closing stages, the visitors are ready to push the pedal to join the league fight.

Team from Leipzig took the home win last time they clashed with Hoffenheim, and they did so with a hefty lead. It’s no surprise most betting predictions are expecting another triumph despite the fact they’re playing as the away team in PreZero Arena.

The hosts weren’t considered likely to win either way, but they are in a slightly worse position now. Dennis Geiger, Marco John, Stanley N'Soki, Mergim Berisha have all been injured recently, leaving the team’s coach with a narrower range of options.

An Over 3.5 Goals bet may seem somewhat risky, but it’s a lot more probable than usual. It’s a great pick if the betting value is what you’re after, but some might prefer a somewhat safer choice.
