RB Leipzig Juggling Two Tournaments

Regarding the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig sits in fourth place. We’re talking about the second-best defensive team in the league after allowing just 31 goals in 28 games. Only Bayern Munich has allowed less with 29.

Winners of seven straight and most recently, they crushed Borussia Dortmund 4-1 at Signal Iduna Park. Konrad Laimer was named the Player of the Match after scoring twice. Christopher Nkunku and Dani Olmo also scored.

Besides trying to finish in the Bundesliga top four, Leipzig is also trying to win the UEFA Europa League. Last Thursday, they drew 1-1 to Atalanta in the first leg of the Quarterfinals. Winning the UEL is another way to get into the UEFA Champions League Group Stage.

Juggling two demanding tournaments isn’t easy, but Leipzig is a well-balanced team that has talent to spare. Domenico Tedesco’s team deserves to control the Las Vegas odds at -170. They won four of their last six games when playing as the favorite.

Hoffenheim Planning to Avoid Third Straight Loss

Hoffenheim had a great first half of the season, but it seems like they couldn’t keep up, especially in recent weeks.

First, they visited Hertha Berlin and lost 3-0. Then, they played host to Bochum and lost 2-1. Curiously enough, prior to those losses, they managed to draw 1-1 with Bayern Munich. They also put up a good fight against Borussia Dortmund and Bayer Leverkusen, second and third in the standings.

Individually, you’ll need to pay close attention to Ihlas Bebou, the team’s top scorer with seven goals. Bebou is followed by Christoph Baumgartner and Georginio Rutter, each with six goals, any of which can tip the scales.

The visitors, who own a 5-2-7 record on the road, are offering a +440 price. They pulled off a betting online upset for the last time at the beginning of March. They defeated Koln 1-0 while offering a +160 price.
