VS
1899 Hoffenheim vs RB Leipzig gives Leipzig the clearer edge, yet Hoffenheim have shown they can turn this fixture into a high-scoring contest. Hoffenheim won 4–3 in November 2024, Leipzig replied 3–1 in April 2025, and a 5–0 Leipzig victory in March 2026 restored the favourite’s authority. A new meeting will test whether Hoffenheim can disrupt that order again when the sides meet.

Stats for this game
Matchup 1899 Hoffenheim VS RB Leipzig
Leipzig bring the stronger baseline
Leipzig have usually found the cleaner route through this matchup, with victories such as 3–0 in Leipzig on 10 April 2022 and 3–1 at Hoffenheim on 5 November 2022. Their 3–1 away win on 8 November 2025 and 5–0 home victory on 20 March 2026 underline the same hierarchy from different venues. The favourite can control the game, but Hoffenheim’s response remains central to the story.
Hoffenheim can break the rhythm
On 23 November 2024, Hoffenheim beat Leipzig 4–3 at the PreZero Arena after falling behind three times. The official Bundesliga report records the late winner and the seven-goal swing, a vivid reminder that this is not a purely one-directional fixture. Future meetings can ask whether Hoffenheim create another open contest or Leipzig reduce the space for that kind of comeback. The answer may again depend on whether Leipzig’s control survives the first moment of disruption.
