The surprise package of the Bundesliga, RB Leipzig have the best home record in the league, 8 wins from 9 victories and 0 defeats. Currently 2nd in the league they have a massive chance of finishing in a Champions League spot this season.

They welcome a Hamburg side who find themselves in a relegation battle. They’ve won just once on the road all season (losing 3 on the bounce away) These sides met back in September where RB won 4-0. It might not be that same scoreline today but I can see 3 points going to the hosts.

Aston Villa’s hopes off promotion took a serious dent in January and they would now have to go on an unbelievable run to achieve the play-offs. They will at the very least need to continue their home form where they are unbeaten all season (Best home record since 2001) They have brought in a large number of new players who will be making their debuts at Villa Park today.

As for the visitors, Ipswich have picked up just 2 wins in 10 on the road and have now gone 5 games in a row without a win. They’ve failed to keep a clean sheet in their last 8 games on the road and will be up against it today.

Two sides in contrasting form, Mansfield are now unbeaten in 7 league games whilst Hartlepool have failed to win in 8 on the road. The visitors have conceded on average 2 goals per game away from home this season. A win for Mansfield could see them in the play-offs come 5pm, whilst a defeat for Hartlepool will spell fears of relegation. It’s not a clear cut 3 points for Mansfield but they are worthy favourites.
