Dragged wide!
Conté with a shot from the edge of the area, but the Germany U20 international drags it wide with what was his first touch. Imagine the headlines!

Time's ticking
Twenty-year-old Conté's on for his seventh Bundesliga appearance, with two of the four added minutes remaining...

Hoffenheim are level!
Kramarić wheels away in celebration after turning in Bülter's cross. It has been coming! Will TSG go on and nick all three points?
Goal probability 
Goal probability
Goal probability determines the likelihood that the ball will land in the goal from every position on the pitch. The value is based on large amounts of data from previous years; factors such as shot angle, distance to goal and opponent pressure - as well as mathematical models.
Distance to Goal
Distance to Goal
The distance to goal is measured at the time of the shot - from the position of the ball to the center of the goal.

86'
Millimetres!
Jurásek with a teasing pass that evades Bebou and Kramarić. Is it going to be one of those nights for the hosts?
84'
No way through!
Bülter drives up the left again and finds Bebou in the box. Raum gets across to make a crucial block, though.
80'
Change of shape
Bischof takes up a position in central midfield, with teenager Max Moerstadt a more attacking option.

Triple change
Rose's taking no chances - on comes Simakan to shore up the defence. Poulsen and Kampl also join the action.

Xavi sent off!
Well, well. Leipzig will play the final 18 minutes or so with 10 men after Xavi collects his second booking for a rash challenge on Stach.

Should TSG be level?
xGoals
The xGoals value of a club is calculated from the sum of all goal probabilities (goals and shots on goal) of that team. During a match, it’s easy to see whether the club is performing better than expected (goals > xGoals) - or maybe even higher (xGoals > goals).

Plugging away
Hoffenheim continue to make in-roads in an attacking sense. It's just the final pass that's been lacking.
59'
Baumgartner on
Leipzig's goalscorer makes way for a very familiar face to fans of a Hoffenheim persuasion. Baumgartner produced 30 goals and 22 assists in 138 competitive games for TSG.

Substitution
57'
Fierce!
Henrichs catches his shot really well at the end of a counter but Baumann gets right behind it.
53'
Off target!
Bebou trades passes with Beier, before firing a shot over from the edge of the area. Hoffenheim have started the second half brightly...
49'
Big chance!
Bülter plays a pass into the feet of Bebou, who lets it run for Kramarić. He swipes goalwards from inside the box, but Gulácsi gets a foot to it.
46'
No changes
Will Hoffenheim get back into this one to boost their top-seven prospects?

Half-time! Hoffenheim 0-1 Leipzig

Half-time
45'

Deflected over!
Another ball into the box causes problem for the Leipzig defence. Prömel collects and shows a cute turn, before seeing his goal-bound strike take a nick off a white shirt and go behind for a corner that comes to nothing.
44'
Added time
Two more minutes at the end of the first half...
40'
Straight at the goalkeeper
Hoffenheim take a leaf out of the Leipzig playbook with a cross from the right for Bebou. His header is into the arms of Gulácsi, though.
38'
Šeško breaks the deadlock!
Just when Hoffenheim were building up a head of steam, Leipzig forge ahead. Raum's delivery is a peach, with Šeško rising highest to head in his fifth goal in as many games.

Denied!
Hoffenheim get the ball into the Leipzig box for Kramarić, but his back-post strike is too close to the goalkeeper.

Half chance!
Šeško's a good 16 yards from goal as he tries to steer a Haidara cross past Baumann with his head. It's the right idea, but the ball drifts wide of the far post. Still, that's a sign of a player high on confidence. The Leipzig striker has scored in each of his last four games...

Blue wave
Good spell for Hoffenheim as Haidara is forced to clear Bülter's probing left-wing cross. They're really having a go at Marco Rose's team at the moment.

Kramarić!
Hoffenheim's record scorer takes on a shot from 18 yards that Gulácsi pushes up into the air, before gathering at the second attempt.
17'
Strong save!
Olmo splits the home defence with a piercing ball through the middle for Xavi. The Dutchman tries to guide his shot past the on-rushing Baumann, who pushes it to safety.
16'
Schlager walking
That's a good sign, but he can't continue. Seiwald is on for his compatriot.

Schlager concern
The Leipzig midfielder is down receiving treatment. The Austrian's standing leg went from under him as he moved to track Kramarić.

Leipzig break!
Here goes Xavi. He feeds Openda, who has options either side of him on the edge of the TSG box, but opts to shoot and drags his effort wide.

Superb atmosphere in Sinsheim. The pressure's off Leipzig, but on the hosts...

Watch: Your Bundesliga Team of the Season!
TSG still in the hunt
Hoffenheim begin the weekend a point behind seventh. Whichever team takes that spot will contest a Europa Conference League play-off.
Champions League football in the bag
Dortmund's win over PSG in midweek means the Bundesliga will have at least five teams in next season's Champions League, instead of the usual four. The quintet is already set in stone, Leipzig included!
More on those teams
Matarazzo makes four changes to the side that started the 3-2 loss in Bochum. Akpoguma, Bülter, Stach and Bebou come in, with Drexler, Skov (both benched) Tohumcu (suspended) and Weghorst (personal reasons) making way. Henrichs replaces Simakan for Leipzig, meanwhile, in the only change to the Dortmund win.

Baumann (c) - Kabak, Grillitsch, Akpoguma - Kadeřábek, Prömel, Stach, Bebou - Kramarić - Bülter, Beier
