Watch this week's Bundesliga on the BBC: RB Leipzig take on Hoffenheim

Top-flight German football is being shown live on the BBC this season after rights were secured to broadcast Friday night Bundesliga matches through to 2027.

The coverage continues on Friday, 19 March when RB Leipzig host TSG Hoffenheim with both sides knowing that a win will give their chances of qualifying for next season's UEFA Champions League a huge boost.

Matches will be available to watch live on the BBC Sport website, app and on BBC iPlayer every Friday, with clips of the biggest in-game moments across BBC Sport's social media channels.

RB Leipzig sit fifth in the table, just three points behind Hoffenheim in third and VfB Stuttgart in fourth, but with an inferior goal difference. Although fifth could yet prove enough for Champions League football next season, a fourth-placed finish or above would guarantee it.

With just five points between Hoffenheim and sixth-placed Bayer Leverkusen, both TSG and Leipzig know that any slip-up between now and the end of the season could prove costly.

Despite their respective strong league positions, both Hoffenheim and Leipzig have lost some of their consistency recently, with both sides having won two, drawn two and lost one of their last five.

For Leipzig, head coach Ole Werner knows that he can rely on Diomande who has had a stellar campaign to date. The nineteen-year-old grabbed his 10th Bundesliga goal against Augsburg last week, making him the fourth-youngest player in Bundesliga history to reach double figures for strikes in a single season, after Olaf Thon, Lukas Podolski and Jadon Sancho.

Hoffenheim will be relying on Andrej Kramarić, who has proved as reliable as ever in his 10th year with the club, scoring 10 and providing five assists; numbers that have seen him become the league's third-highest non-German goalscorer of all time.
