RB Leipzig will continue their defense of the DFB-Pokal when they host Hoffenheim, the home team is in the best moment of the season, it hasn't lost an official game since September 2022 and that's when it played away. Playing at home, they are a very strong team and in the championship they haven't lost at home, they only lost at home playing for the Champions League.

Leipzig is a team with many options in the squad, it has a very competitive team but for this game i expect a strong team, the main objective of the team is to win this competition again, winning the championship is more complicated because Bayern Munich has dominated in recent years .

Abdou Diallo, Peter Gulasci and Nkunku all remain unavailable.

Since the championship restarted, Hoffenheim still haven't won, there were 2 defeats and 1 draw. In the championship you can't be too careless because the places of danger are very close. The team's problem has been the many absences it has had throughout the season and that hurts the team.

Hoffenheim are aiming to reach the quarter-finals of the competition for the first time in eight seasons, a record that motivates the players but the coach has to decide whether to use the best players or rest some so as not to have new injuries, in the weekend there is a very important game against Bochum.

Hoffenheim without Angelo Stiller, Kevin Vogt, Robert Skov, Kevin Akpoguma, Jacob Bruun Larsen and Grischa Promel due to injury.

There is no doubt that Leipzig is the strongest team and the favorite to go through to the next stage, Hoffenheim is playing poorly and at the moment does not have the quality in the team to cause problems for the Leipzig team. The home team will dominate the game, have the best opportunities and will win the game.

莱比锡将在主场迎战霍芬海姆时继续捍卫他们的dfa - pokal，主队正处于本赛季最好的时刻，自2022年9月以来他们还没有输过一场正式比赛，那是他们在客场比赛的时候。在主场比赛，他们是一支非常强大的球队，在冠军联赛中他们没有在主场输球，他们只是在欧冠联赛的主场输球。

莱比锡是一支阵容中有很多选择的球队，它是一支非常有竞争力的球队，但对于这场比赛，我希望是一支强大的球队，球队的主要目标是再次赢得这场比赛，赢得冠军更加复杂，因为拜仁慕尼黑近年来一直占据主导地位。

阿卜杜·迪亚洛、彼得·古拉斯奇和恩昆库都无法联系。

自从联赛重新开始，霍芬海姆仍然没有赢过，2负1平。在冠军赛中你不能太大意，因为危险的地方都很近。球队的问题是整个赛季都有很多人缺席，这对球队造成了伤害。

霍芬海姆的目标是8个赛季以来首次进入欧冠1 / 4决赛，这一纪录激励了球员，但教练必须决定是使用最好的球员还是休息一些球员，以免出现新的伤病，在周末有一场非常重要的比赛对阵波鸿。

霍芬海姆因伤缺席了安吉洛·斯蒂勒、凯文·沃格特、罗伯特·斯科夫、凯文·阿克波古马、雅各布·布鲁恩·拉森和格里斯查·普罗梅尔。

毫无疑问，莱比锡是最强的球队，也是最有希望进入下一阶段的球队，霍芬海姆踢得很差，目前球队没有足够的实力给莱比锡队造成麻烦。主队将主宰比赛，拥有最好的机会，并将赢得比赛。
