Five things to look forward to in Europe this week

#2 Leipzig face tough Hoffenheim test in Bundesliga

Leipzig will look to keep pace with the league leaders

Red Bull Leipzig managed to recover from the disappointing form that they showed at the start of the year, as they comfortably beat Eintracht Frankfurt 3-0 on home soil, last week. They will now take on third-placed Hoffenheim with the aim to close the gap on Bayern Munich at the top.

Despite still being in the top three in the Bundesliga, Hoffenheim have struggled to find form off late. They have drawn six of their last eight games in the league but are the only team in Germany yet to lose a league game.

Bayern Munich will also feature in as they travel to relegation-threatened Werder Bremen, while Borussia Dortmund are desperate to get their season going as they visit Mainz.
