In the DFB-Pokal Round of 16, RB Leipzig will play Hoffenheim on Wednesday at the Red Bull Arena. In the league, RB Leipzig defeated Bruno Labbadia’s Stuttgart 2-1 to enter this match. Dominik Szoboszlai, a Hungarian midfielder, scored twice to give Marco Rose’s RB Leipzig the victory.
Stuttgart’s Chris Fuhrich, a midfielder, scored. In contrast, Borussia Monchengladbach, coached by Daniel Farke, defeated Hoffenheim 4-1 in the league. Borussia Monchengladbach won the game thanks to a brace from midfielder Jonas Hofmann, as well as goals from attacker Lars Stindl and Austrian midfielder Hannes Wolf.
Ihlas Bebou, a Togolese winger, scored the goal for Hoffenheim. Two points behind league leaders Bayern Munich, RB Leipzig is currently third in the league. RB Leipzig appeared uncertain on multiple occasions during Domenico Tedesco’s tenure as manager after Jesse Marsch’s departure from the team last season.
RB Leipzig once again appears to be one of the best teams in Germany under Marco Rose, a manager steeped in Red Bull football tradition.

RB Leipzig vs Hoffenheim Prediction :
However, this summer, they will undoubtedly lose their star forward Christopher Nkunku. It appears that the 25-year-old will join Chelsea. Nkunku will hope that his time with the London giants will be better than the time the star forward from RB Leipzig left for Chelsea.
After two disappointing seasons in England, Timo Werner is now back in Germany. On the other hand, Hoffenheim are 13th in the league and has lost four of their last five league games. They recently sold the talented young attacker Georginio Rutter to Leeds United.
They will be hoping that Andrej Kramaric and Mu’nas Dabbur will be enough to attack for the rest of the season, especially if they don’t sign a replacement. RB Leipzig is our pick to win this match.
Prediction: RB Leipzig 2-0 Hoffenheim

RB Leipzig vs Hoffenheim Team news :
Due to a hamstring injury, Dani Olmo was substituted at halftime in his team’s victory over Stuttgart, which could keep the Spain midfielder out until the end of February. Peter Gulasci, Abdou Diallo, and Nkunku are all still out, and Rose is likely to start Yussuf Poulsen, Emil Forsberg, and Konrad Laimer after they came off the bench on Friday.
Angelo Stiller, Kevin Vogt, Robert Skov, Kevin Akpoguma, Jacob Bruun Larsen, and Grischa Promel will not travel with Hoffenheim to Leipzig because of injuries. Kasper Dolberg is likely to make way, and Ihlas Bebou will almost certainly be able to make his way back into the starting XI after being dropped without any positive impact on Saturday.
