Hoffenheim take on the visitors Leipzig at the Wirsol Rhein-Neckar-Arena in the 6th tour of the Bundesliga. The match will be played in the eponymous city Hoffenheim on Saturday, September 29th.
Hoffenheim have been showcasing their offensive line only so far this season. They often score a lot of goals no matter against who. They have already been able to score against Borussia Dortmund, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, Shakhtar Donetsk in the UEFA Champions League (twice on the away side). However, they have been having problems with their defensive line. For example, they conceded two goals from the same Shakhtar Donetsk in their Champions League group stage fixture. In each of their five Bundesliga fixtures this season they have conceded at least once. Die Kraichgauer have had two games in front of their home crowd, they have beaten Freiburg with a 3-1 score and have drawn against Borussia Dortmund with a 1-1 score. In their last three matches overall Hoffenheim beat Hannover 96 with a 3-1 score, drew against Borussia Dortmund with a 1-1 score and against Shakhtar Donetsk with a 2-2 score in their Champions League group stage fixture. In their 1/32-finals fixture of the DFB Pokal the team of Julian Nagelsmann beat Kaiserslautern with a 6-1 score.

Leipzig have scored at least once in each of their five matches in the Bundesliga season as well as Hoffenheim. In their recent Europa League group stage fixture Die Roten Bullen have scored two goals against Red Bull Salzburg. They have been having the same problems as Hoffenheim though with their defensive line. Even though they were able to score two goals against Red Bull Salzburg they lost that fixture with a 2-3 score in the end. In their five matches of the 2018/2019 Bundesliga season the team of Ralf Rangnick was able to keep their goal safe only once. That happened last tour when they faced Stuttgart in front of their home crowd. In their last three matches Leipzig beat Stuttgart with a 2-0 score, drew against Eintracht Frankfurt with a 1-1 score and lost to Red Bull Salzburg with a 2-3 score in their Europa League group stage fixture. Die Roten Bullen have also had a friendly fixture recently where they have beaten Zaglebie with a 1-0 score. In the 1/32-finals fixture of the DFB Pokal the team of Ralf Rangnick beat Viktoria Koln with a 3-1 score.
It is clear that there will be some goals scored in the upcoming fixture. Both teams always lean on their respective offensive lines and do not think about their defense. It is really hard for their respective goalkeepers to keep their goal safe all the time. However, Hoffenheim will have a home crowd advantage in the upcoming fixture. Die Kraichgauer have been looking very strong on their home field lately. This season they have had two home games and have lost none of them. Last season they lost only two fixtures on the hosting side out of seventeen. Even such powerful German team as Bayern Munich lost to Hoffenheim at the Wirsol Rhein-Neckar-Arena. Interestingly Leipzig lost to Hoffenheim at the arena with a 0-4 score last season. In their last twenty home fixtures Hoffenheim lost only once to Bayer Leverkusen in January. Die Kraichgauer really should win in the upcoming fixture or avoid loss at least. Overall, the match should be a very exciting one because both teams show a fully offensive playing style.
Prediction for the match: Leipzig to win with a 0 handicap and over 2.5 goals scored.
