TSG Hoffenheim vs RB Leipzig Prediction and Betting Tips | 5th November 2022

The Bundesliga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as TSG Hoffenheim lock horns with RB Leipzig in an important clash at the Rhein-Neckar Arena on Saturday.

TSG Hoffenheim vs RB Leipzig Preview

TSG Hoffenheim are currently in seventh place in the Bundesliga standings and have been inconsistent so far this season. The hosts were held to a 1-1 draw by Koln in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.

RB Leipzig, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have improved after a slow start to their campaign. The away side thrashed Shakhtar Donetsk by a 4-0 margin in the UEFA Champions League this week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

"We want to obviously take something positive out of the full week of matches. We're playing against teams who are also looking towards Europe. In these matches, the form on the day and a bit of luck will be decisive."
