RB Leipzig to Win
RB Leipzig are really starting to purr in the Bundesliga and they’ve taken seven points from nine in the German top tier since the campaign’s resumption. Die Roten Bullen should be able to carry that strong form into their DFB Pokal tie against Hoffenheim on Wednesday where another victory for the host is on the cards. RB Leipzig won 3-1 at Hoffenheim when the teams met in the league back in November and our first prediction forecasts a similar outcome when the sides collide in this week’s knockout contest.
Over 2.5 Goals
RB Leipzig flexed their considerable attacking muscle in November when they outgunned Hoffenheim in a 3-1 win and that was the second time on the spin where Die Roten Bullen put three goals past Die Kraichgauer. More excitement could be in the works when the teams meet again on Wednesday and when you consider that over 2.5 goals has landed in five of the last seven matches involving RB in Leipzig, a stake in the same direction feels like a must here.
