On Saturday afternoon, RB Leipzig hosts Hoffenheim at the Red Bull Arena in the Bundesliga as the home team looks to boost their top-four chances.
Die Roten Bullen’s bid for Champions League football next season was hindered last time out by a 2-0 defeat at Bayer Leverkusen. The loss ended Leipzig’s mini two-game winning streak in the German top flight.

However, Marco Rose’s team are still in fifth place in the table and just two points adrift of the Bundesliga’s top four.
The home side’s highly inconsistent league form has not helped their top-four bid, as they have won five and lost four of their last nine matches.
RB Leipzig’s home form has remained relatively good in recent weeks, as they have won three of their last four home games in the Bundesliga while scoring at least two goals in all three victories.
After a flourish of good form moved Hoffenheim up the Bundesliga table, the visitors have now picked up just one point from their last two games in the German top flight.
Last time out, they suffered a 3-1 home defeat by Koln. The loss ended a four-game unbeaten run for Hoffenheim in the German top flight.
The side from Sinsheim is still four points clear of the relegation play-off spot in the Bundesliga but will be looking to secure their safety as soon as possible.
Hoffenheim have been poor on their travels of late in the Bundesliga, winning just one of their previous nine away games in the German top flight.
However, the visitors have now taken four points from their last two league games on their travels.
Their recent away games in the German top flight have been high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last eight league matches.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that this game will produce a high-scoring home win which would boost RB Leipzig’s chances of landing a top-four spot this season.
