Match preview

Leipzig recovered from their disappointing draw with the Bundesliga's basement side Paderborn as they overcame Hoffenheim 2-0 on Friday evening. A quickfire double from Dani Olmo set Julian Nagelsmann's men on their way to a comfortable victory at the Rhein-Neckar-Arena, and Leipzig have firmly cemented their position among the top three as the season draws to a close. Furthermore, the gap between Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen has now stretched to five points following their failure to beat Schalke on Sunday, and Borussia Monchengladbach's loss to title-chasing Bayern Munich means that Leipzig will be confident of securing third place for the 2019-20 campaign. Die Roten Bullen are four points behind second-placed Dortmund as things stand, and the two powerhouses will lock horns next Saturday in what could be a pivotal game for the final standings of the season.
