A top-six battle in the Bundesliga takes place at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday afternoon as RB Leipzig play host to Hoffenheim.
The two teams are separated by six points in the table after the first 14 matches, with Die Roten Bullen in fourth sitting two places ahead of Die Kraichgauer in sixth place.
All three goals were scored in the space of just five second-half minutes, with Benjamin Sesko's opener swiftly cancelled out by Ebrima Colley before Emil Forsberg – who has agreed to join New York Red Bulls in January – scored what proved to be the match-winner in the 56th minute.
Marco Rose's side, who had already qualified for the Champions League last 16 before facing Young Boys, will discover their opponents in the knockout rounds in next Monday's draw, but they must first turn their attention back to the Bundesliga as the endeavour to consolidate their place in the top four.
Leipzig, who sit four points ahead of fifth-placed Dortmund following their 3-2 win at Westfalenstadion last weekend, are currently enjoying the longest unbeaten home run of any Bundesliga club having avoided defeat in each of their last 11 games at the Red Bull Arena dating back to April 1.
