Hoffenheim vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips (23 November)

Weighed down by defensive problems and, above all, a fairly recurring lack of consistency for many years, this Hoffenheim team is showing itself to be quite worrying for the moment in this Bundesliga. It is in fact only 15th in this championship with just one small point ahead of the jump-off, Sankt Pauli. TSG has only won once since the first day. It was against the red lantern Bochum more than a month ago 3-1. Since then, Hoffe has been hung on the pitch at Heidenheim 0-0, beaten by the promoted Sankt Pauli 0-2 and held in check again by Augsburg before the international break 0-0. On the Leipzig side, however, everything is fine for the moment, in the league at least.

Because on the European scene, RasenBall Sport cannot do it and it lost its first 4 matches played in the Champions League, the last of which against Celtic 3-1. Also, his chances of seeing the 1/8 finals or even the play-offs are now very reduced. Fortunately for them, Marco Rose's men are currently holding their own in the Bundesliga where they occupy 2nd place in the standings, 5 points behind Bayern Munich. However, after their last success against Freiburg 3-1 , the Red Bulls had to lose at Dortmund 2-1 and were then held by Borussia Mönchengladbach 0-0 before the international break.

Hoffenheim still cannot count on the important midfielders Bebou and Prömel, the potentially starting defenders Kabak and Lenz and the replacement Ole Becker who are all forced to give up playing this game, injured. Former Nice defender Nsoki has also joined the infirmary along with midfielders Bishof and Tabakovic. As for the forces present, the TSG will undoubtedly be happy to find the Croatian Kramaric and the center forward Bülter, authors respectively of 5 and 4 goals in the league this season. RB Leipzig is also weakened for this meeting.

Missing in fact is the important lateral left Raum, the starting midfielder Schlager and the essential leader of game Xavi Simons. More recently, these are the Frenchman Lukeba, the full-back Geertruida and the rather fragile midfielder Elmas have also joined the list of absentees. Belgian striker Openda (5 goals and 3 assists in the Bundesliga, 2 assists in C1) and the Slovenian international Sesko (3 goals and 2 assists in the Bundesliga, 3 goals in C1) should be able to start this part.
