Game Prediction
The German Bundesliga 1 will open its 32nd round on May 3, 2024, when Hoffenheim and RB Leipzig will play in a separate match scheduled for Friday. The guests remain in the race for 4th place with Borussia Dortmund, and any result other than a win would be a misfire for them.
Key statistics and trends:
- The hosts have not been able to beat this opponent since 2021.
- At least 3 goals were scored in the 4 previous matches in Sinsheim and there was an effective victory over Borussia Mönchengladbach on April 20 – 4-3.
- Only Mainz did not concede or lose to Rose’s wards in the spring – that game finished with a 0-0 draw.
Hoffenheim – the shape of the team and its analysis: the club is trying to improve its performance in the very end of the cycle
“The Peasants” gave up after an optimistic start. And there was no reason not only to talk about chances for the Champions League, but also to seriously discuss the likelihood of returning to European competition already in winter. Still, the club has been conducting its last matches on its field both effectively and successfully: a 3-1 score in the struggle with Augsburg, then the above-mentioned “shoot-out” with “the Stallions”. As a result, Freiburg, was one point away, in 7th place. Still, Bochum had more motivation – it won confidently in the previous round.
RB Leipzig – the shape of the team and its analysis: the fight for 4th place will last until the last
“The Bulls” have definitely lost their position: having won the cup twice in a row before, they were eliminated from the competition in the autumn. As for the Bundesliga, 3rd place, taken at the end of the previous season, is unattainable. Having missed Borussia Dortmund higher due to winter misfires, the team was in a dispute with this opponent for 4th place. And it is not so relevant given the additional place for Germany in the new format of the Champions League, but the club is eager to beat the competitor. The impressive spring statistics (6 wins and a draw) allowed it to approach the head-to-head meeting with “the Bumblebees”, being ahead of them by 2 points. It was possible to win confidently and more than double the lead.
