Fourth meets second in the Bundesliga on Saturday, with Hoffenheim playing host to Borussia Dortmund at the PreZero Arena.
Both will be looking to bounce back from poor exits from the DFB-Pokal in midweek, in an encounter that promises to be thoroughly entertaining for the neutral.
We say: Hoffenheim 2-2 Borussia Dortmund
This clash looks set to be an entertaining one on Saturday, with both sides successful in front of goal in recent weeks, whilst remaining leaky at the other end of the pitch too.
Were this tie being played at Signal Iduna Park, we would be predicting a Dortmund win, but with BVB often slipping up on their travels, as well as Hoffenheim being an impressive outfit, we are going for a thrilling draw.

Bayer Leverkusen will be looking to solidify their place in the Bundesliga's Champions League spots when they welcome Augsburg to the BayArena on Saturday.
The hosts picked up their first win in six games last weekend, whilst the visitors are winless in four in their quest to avoid the drop.
We say: Bayer Leverkusen 3-1 Augsburg
Leverkusen will be expected to win comfortably on Saturday, with their visitors enduring poor form on the road this season and a dreadful record against their opponents overall.
Schick will be hoping to continue his fine form in front of goal, and we expect him to be amongst the scorers in a dominant Leverkusen display.

Borussia Monchengladbach will be looking to bounce back from a dreadful past week when they host Europe-chasing Union Berlin at Borussia-Park on Saturday.
The hosts were defeated in a Rhine Derby last weekend before exiting the DFB-Pokal to lower-league opposition in midweek, whilst the in-form visitors head into the clash on the back of a Berlin derby victory in the cup.
We say: Borussia Monchengladbach 1-1 Union Berlin
Union are not as effective on their travels despite their success at Hertha in midweek, but with them being in such high spirits and strong form, we believe they will come away with something at Gladbach on Saturday.
The hosts are in all sorts of trouble and lack any consistency, so we can see goals being scored at both ends of the pitch and it being an even encounter, so a draw seems a likely outcome.

Bottom-placed side Greuther Furth welcome Mainz 05 to Sportpark Ronhof Thomas Sommer on Saturday afternoon as part of this weekend's Bundesliga action.
The hosts remain rock bottom by a large margin but are now unbeaten in three games, whilst the visitors' sit in an unexpectedly high position but were knocked out of the cup this week.
We say: Greuther Furth 0-1 Mainz 05
Mainz should put their cup woes behind them and pick up where they left off in their stunning league campaign here. The home side have stopped the rot in the last few weeks but continue to struggle in front of goal - having netted just 15 times this season - and we expect them to suffer a narrow defeat.

Freiburg vs. Stuttgart (Saturday, 2.30pm)

Saturday's Bundesliga action includes a Baden-Schwaben-Derby between neighbours Freiburg and Stuttgart, with the pair set to do battle at the Europa-Park Stadion.
The hosts bounced back from a thumping defeat last weekend by progressing in the DFB-Pokal with a big win themselves in midweek, whilst the visitors remain in trouble at the wrong end of the table following a winless four-game spell.
We say: Freiburg 2-0 Stuttgart
We are predicting Stuttgart's struggles to continue against their rivals on Saturday, with the Europa-Park Stadion a difficult destination for most sides, never mind one in such poor form like Stuttgart are.
Freiburg will have been massively boosted by their big win in midweek, and that should provide them with the confidence to return to winning ways in the Bundesliga against their neighbours.

VfL Bochum and FC Koln go head to head at the Vonovia Ruhrstadion in a midtable Bundesliga clash on Saturday evening.
The hosts got their revenge on Mainz 05 in the cup during the week, whilst their upcoming opponents will be looking to bounce back from a couple of painful defeats.
We say: VfL Bochum 2-2 FC Koln
This is a tough one to call, with the two sides doing well overall but having had a few tough games recently. Both teams will be determined to bounce back but may well cancel each other out, ending in an entertaining draw.
