This will be the second showdown between these teams in the current season. In the first, Leipzig reached all three points without major difficulties as a guest, with a routine 3-1 triumph over Hoffenheim. Bearing in mind that Leipzig set very high ambitions in the DFB Pokal, and a new victory is in sight. It didn't take long for Marco Rose to put the dice together and find a winning formula. The German, in fact, turned Leipzig into an invincible punitive expedition that grinds their opponents and has no intention of stopping. The Bulls tied 16 games without defeat, of which they only drew three times, while the others ended in their favor. They especially stand out for their dominance in front of the home fans. The impression is that Leipzig was enraged by the heavy defeat against Shakhtar Donetsk 1-4 in the first round of the Champions League because, after that, they tied 10 home games without defeat. Of those, only Bayern from the beginning of 2023 managed to resist them (1-1), while the other nine opponents were sent away from the "Red Bull Arena" with their heads bowed. What especially adorns them is an extremely dangerous and effective attacking line that is capable of shaking the opponent's net several times. How dangerous their attack is is best evidenced by the fact that they scored 38 goals from 13 games in all competitions, which is an average of three goals per game. On the other hand, Hoffenheim still can't find their form. They recorded bad results even before the break for the World Cup, and that only continued after the break. Their last victory was in the DFB Pokal against Schalke back in October of last year. The lack of consistency and stability in the defensive line is definitely the biggest problem that Hoffenheim is facing this season. Their defense has capitulated as many as 18 times in the previous six competitive games, which is certainly not promising before meeting one of the best attacks in Germany. According to everything that has been shown lately, everything points to a convincing victory for the hosts and I am quite sure that it will be so.

这将是两支球队本赛季的第二次对决。在第一场比赛中，作为客队的莱比锡以常规赛3-1战胜霍芬海姆，顺利拿到三分。请记住，莱比锡在德国世界杯上有很高的雄心，新的胜利就在眼前。马可·罗斯没花多长时间就把骰子放在一起，找到了一个制胜公式。事实上，德国人把莱比锡变成了一个不可战胜的惩罚远征，折磨着他们的对手，而且无意停止。公牛16场比赛打成平手，其中只有3场平局，而其他比赛都以对公牛有利告终。在主场球迷面前，他们的统治力尤为突出。给人的印象是，莱比锡被欧冠首轮1-4惨败顿涅茨克矿工的比赛激怒了，因为在那之后，他们在主场打了10场平局，没有输球。其中，只有2023年初的拜仁成功抵挡住了他们(1胜1负)，而其他9个对手则被低着头送出了“红牛竞技场”。尤其引人注目的是一条极其危险而有效的进攻线，能够多次撼动对手的球网。他们的进攻有多危险，最能证明的就是他们在各项赛事的13场比赛中打进38球，平均每场3球。另一方面，霍芬海姆仍然没有找到他们的状态。甚至在世界杯间歇期之前，他们就记录了糟糕的成绩，这种情况在间歇期之后才继续下去。他们上一场胜利是在去年10月对沙尔克的DFB Pokal。后防线缺乏稳定性和稳定性绝对是霍芬海姆本赛季面临的最大问题。在之前的6场比赛中，他们的防守已经18次屈服，在遇到德国最好的进攻之一之前，这当然不太有希望。根据最近所显示的一切，一切都指向东道主有说服力的胜利，我很确定这将是这样。
