Two teams that have been in really good form in the Bundesliga will clash against one another on Friday, when Hoffenheim will host RB Leipzig. Both teams are coming off draws last weekend and they will both look to return to winning ways in this tough match.

Hoffenheim (12-11-7) are coming off a hard-fought 2-2 draw on the road against Dusseldorf. Their opponents took an early lead, while Hoffenheim saw a red card at just the 9th minute. Even so, they managed to overturn the lead in their favor, only to be equalized later in the match for the final 2-2. They now have a 2-2-1 record after the break, scoring seven goals but conceding 7 in the process. Hoffenheim are 7th with 43 points, two behind the 6th spot that leads to the Europa League. They have been hit-or-miss at home so far (6-8-1), with 13 of their 14 matches there going over 2.5 Goals.

RB Leipzig (16-3-11) took an early lead against Paderborn at home but also saw a red card in the first half, and were equalized in the stoppage time for the final 1-1 bust. Even so, they extended their undefeated streak to 12 matches in all competitions (6-0-6), but keeping just one clean sheet after the break. RB Leipzig are 3rd in the Bundesliga with 59 points, three ahead of Gladbach and Leverkusen and four behind Dortmund. They have the 2nd best away record this season (9-2-4) and the best away defense with 15 conceded goals.

RB Leipzig won by 1-3 at home in the reverse fixture earlier in the season to extend their upper hand in this match-up (4-2-2). Results in this venue have been pretty balanced between the two sides (1-1-1), and I wouldn’t rule out another draw. Looking at how easily these two sides can score, I will go with the Over 3.5 Goals here.
