Leipzig could take one step closer to confirming their top-four place in the Bundesliga as they travel to Hoffenheim. The matchday 32 fixture will be played at the PreZero Arena in Sinsheim on Friday, with the hosts ninth with 39 points and the visitors fourth with 62 points. Hoffenheim are pushing for a top-seven finish and start this round one point behind seventh-placed Freiburg. Recent form hasn’t been helping their charge, though, as the hosts have lost five of their last seven league games. That included a 3-2 defeat to Bochum last weekend, taking their conceded tally to 63. Only Darmstadt have conceded more goals at this stage, so the home fans will have no illusions about their defensive chances in this match. At least there could be hopes of a positive result, as Hoffenheim have won three of their last four home league games.

Leipzig start this round in the fourth spot with a buffer of five points over fifth-placed Dortmund. They have augmented their chances with some cracking form in recent weeks, staying unbeaten across nine matches. It’s even better in the league, as Leipzig have won seven and drawn one of their last eight league matches. Five of those games have seen the visitors score at least three goals, which is an indicator of their scoring prowess. In fact, only the top two sides have scored more goals than Leipzig in this season so far. The goals have absolutely flown out of Leipzig’s corner in recent travels, as they netted 15 goals from their last four away league games, winning each time.
