Team Form and Analysis for Hoffenheim
Domestic Form and Season Performance
Hoffenheim, under the guidance of Christian Ilzer, has enjoyed a significant upturn in form compared to last season, currently occupying 6th position in the Bundesliga table with 16 points. Their record stands at five wins, one draw, and three defeats.
Die Kraichgauer arrive with significant momentum, having won their last three Bundesliga matches in a row, including a thrilling 3-2 comeback victory away at Wolfsburg in their last league outing. This victory demonstrated their renewed resilience and attacking purpose. While their overall home record is a concern—with three defeats from four matches at the PreZero Arena—their last home league match was a 3-1 win against Heidenheim. Hoffenheim’s primary weapon is their attack, having scored 18 goals in nine league matches. Their willingness to commit players forward ensures a high volume of chances, although this aggressive approach can leave them vulnerable to counter-attacks.
Key Player: Andrej Kramarić
Veteran forward Andrej Kramarić remains the key creative and attacking force for Hoffenheim. The Croatian international leads the team in assists and is constantly involved in their most dangerous movements, often drifting inside from the wing to act as an auxiliary playmaker. His intelligence, technical quality, and threat from both open play and set pieces are essential for unlocking the organized Leipzig defence.
Team Form and Analysis for RB Leipzig
Domestic Form and Season Performance
RB Leipzig have cemented their position as genuine title contenders this season, currently holding 2nd position in the Bundesliga table with 22 points. Their impressive record of seven wins, one draw, and just one defeat (on the opening day) highlights their quality and consistency.
Ole Werner’s side is in formidable form, winning four and drawing one of their last five competitive matches across all competitions, including a convincing 3-1 home victory against Stuttgart in their most recent league fixture. Their balanced approach is reflected in their statistics: 19 goals scored and only 10 conceded in nine matches—one of the best defensive records in the league. Crucially, Leipzig has been strong on the road, collecting 10 points from a possible 15 away from home. Their tactical discipline, depth, and ability to execute on the counter-attack make them a highly dangerous opponent in this fixture.
Key Player: Antonio Nusa
The young Norwegian winger Antonio Nusa has quickly become one of RB Leipzig’s most exciting attacking prospects. Operating predominantly from the left flank, Nusa’s explosive pace, close control, and direct dribbling bring flair and unpredictability to the frontline. He is instrumental in stretching defences and is a key threat on the counter-attack, often combining with overlapping full-back David Raum. His dynamism will be crucial in exploiting any spaces left by Hoffenheim’s aggressive full-backs.
Head-to-Head Record between the Teams
The head-to-head record between these two modern Bundesliga fixtures significantly favours the visiting side.

The overall record between the two clubs strongly favors RB Leipzig, who have won 12 out of 20 total competitive meetings. In the last six encounters across all competitions, Leipzig has dominated with four wins, one draw, and one defeat. Notably, both teams have found the net in the majority of these recent clashes, and the previous two meetings alone produced seven goals, including an extraordinary 4-3 win for Hoffenheim in November 2024. This history underscores the high-scoring, entertaining nature of this fixture.
Players to Watch
Hoffenheim
Fisnik Asllani (Forward): The forward has been prolific this season, leading the team’s goal-scoring charts. His poaching instincts and relentless running in the final third will be essential for challenging the Leipzig defence.
Wouter Burger (Midfielder): The Dutch midfielder brings composure and ball-winning ability to the centre of the park. His performance will be key in shielding the defence and attempting to disrupt Leipzig’s quick transitions.
RB Leipzig
Romulo (Striker): The central striker has been in strong form, having scored four goals and provided four assists this season. His movement and clinical finishing will be the primary threat through the middle.
David Raum (Wing-Back): Raum provides significant attacking width and delivery from the left flank. His overlap and excellent crossing ability will be a constant source of chances against the Hoffenheim backline.
Prediction
This match promises goals given the attacking strengths and recent performances of both sides. Hoffenheim’s current winning streak in the league demonstrates their potential, especially their ability to score multiple goals. However, their struggles at the PreZero Arena this season and their tactical openness will be severely tested by a highly disciplined and offensively potent RB Leipzig team. Leipzig’s superior defensive structure and their impressive away form make them the favourites. While Hoffenheim will almost certainly find the net, Leipzig’s quality, depth, and psychological edge from the head-to-head record should see them edge a competitive and high-scoring affair.
Score Prediction: Hoffenheim 1-3 RB Leipzig
