RB Leipzig will be looking to keep their Champions League qualification hopes alive when they play host to Hoffenheim at the Red Bull Arena in the Bundesliga on Saturday.
While Die Roten Bullen have won four of their last five games on home soil, Die Kraichgauer are seeking to extend their unbeaten away run to three matches.
We say: RB Leipzig 3-1 Hoffenheim
Both sides will be keen to quickly bounce back from setbacks last weekend and put together another good run of form heading down the home straight to ensure that they meet their respective top-flight targets.
Having already beaten Hoffenheim twice this season by an aggregate score of 6-2, Leipzig will be regarded as favourites to come out on top on Saturday and they should have too much for the visitors in the final third.

Union Berlin will be looking to keep their slim chances of winning the Bundesliga title alive when they welcome Bayer Leverkusen to the Stadion An der Alten Forsterei on Saturday.
The Irons Ones were played off the park in the reverse fixture nearly six months ago when they suffered a heavy 5-0 away defeat to Die Werkself.
We say: Union Berlin 1-2 Bayer Leverkusen
Union Berlin (11) and Leverkusen (15) have conceded the fewest Bundesliga goals since the turn of the year, but considering this fixture has seen both teams score in five of the last seven meetings, an entertaining contest could be on the cards on Saturday.
The Irons Ones boast a strong unbeaten home record this season, but Die Werkself have gone from strength to strength in recent months and we believe that they can follow up their five-goal victory in the reverse fixture with another triumph in the capital.

Freiburg will be aiming to remain in the Bundesliga's top four positions when they face FC Koln on Saturday.
Koln, meanwhile, essentially secured their safety in Germany's top flight for another season by beating Hoffenheim 3-1 last time out.
We say: FC Koln 1-3 Freiburg
After opening up a 10-point gap ahead of the relegation places by beating Hoffenheim last time out, Koln can play with a little more freedom during the closing weeks of the campaign, and we expect their matches to be entertaining as a result.
For Freiburg, this is a pivotal week as they look to strengthen their position within the top four and reach a second successive DFB-Pokal final, and we believe that Streich's side will earn another vital victory on Saturday.

Frankfurt vs. Augsburg (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Both teams will be aiming to end lengthy winless streaks in the Bundesliga when Eintracht Frankfurt host Augsburg on Saturday.
Frankfurt have failed to win any of their last eight league games, falling to ninth in the table in the process, while Augsburg are not completely clear of relegation danger after drawing three and losing three of their last six eight matches.
We say: Eintracht Frankfurt 1-1 Augsburg
Frankfurt have drawn each of their last three home games 1-1 in the Bundesliga, and we can envisage a repeat scoreline on Saturday.
Given the amount of injuries that Maassen is facing, avoiding defeat in any match has to be viewed as a positive considering the gap that they already have ahead of the relegation zone, while the hosts will be more focused on beating Stuttgart in the DFB-Pokal semi-final in midweek.

Stuttgart require all three points against Borussia Monchengladbach on Saturday if they are to stand a chance of moving outside of the Bundesliga's relegation places.
Gladbach, meanwhile, are aiming to record only their second league victory on the road all season.
We say: Stuttgart 2-1 Borussia Monchengladbach
Although Gladbach clearly possess some talented players at their disposal, Stuttgart could hardly have asked for a more winnable fixture as they desperately seek to avoid finishing in the bottom three positions.
Die Fohlen have been wretched on the road all season long and have very little beyond personal pride to play for at this stage of the season, so we expect Hoeness's improved outfit to claim all three points ahead of their cup semi-final tie in midweek.

Schalke vs. Werder Bremen (Saturday, 5.30pm)

Schalke 04 require all three points against Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga's Saturday evening kickoff if they are to have any chance of moving outside of the bottom three.
Werder Bremen, meanwhile, returned to winning ways last time out against rock-bottom Hertha Berlin.
We say: Schalke 04 1-3 Werder Bremen
Although Schalke's urgency to put more points on the board is clearly far greater than Werder Bremen's, we can envisage the visitors claiming a second successive away victory against relegation strugglers.
Having put four goals past Hertha without their top goalscorer even entering the pitch, they will feel supremely confident of achieving similar against Schalke, who conceded that exact amount last week. The hosts look doomed to a second relegation in three seasons.
