Bayer Leverkusen vs Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga
by James | in Bundesliga Prediction
The big match in the Bundesliga this weekend pits Bayer Leverkusen against RB Leipzig at the Bay Arena on Saturday. Leverkusen, who narrowly missed out on Champions League football last season by finishing fifth, kicked off their campaign with a goalless draw at Wolfsburg. Leipzig, aiming to better last term's third-placed finish, opened with a 3-1 win at Mainz. Both sides are adapting to life without their star players. Chelsea flexed their financial muscles over the summer and added both Kai Havertz of Leverkusen and Timo Werner of Leipzig to their squad. Leipzig replaced Werner with Norwegian forward Alexander Sorloth, who was fresh off the back of topping the Turkish top flight's scoring charts. Leverkusen bolstered their attack with the purchase of Patrik Schick, who found moderate success with Leipzig in the Bundesliga last season. Leipzig are unbeaten in four matches against Leverkusen, drawing the last two and winning the two before that. They have never lost in Leverkusen (a reminder that Leipzig were formed in 2009), winning two of their four fixtures away to Bayer. Last season, they played out a 1-1 draw there.
Only three Bundesliga teams had a better home record than Leverkusen last season and Leipzig weren't one of them. They have won six of their last eight Bundesliga home matches. Leipzig's away form catapulted them up the table last season with only Bayern Munich showing greater dominance on the road. They lost only two of their 17 away matches and go into this match with an unbeaten run of seven away games. Leipzig may go into this as slight favourites. We suggest going for a goals bet. Both teams have scored in six of the last eight games between these teams. Back over 2.5 goals and both teams to score.
