Leipzig are enduring a tough season and will hope for a reprieve in their home game against Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga on Sunday. The home team goes to this game placed seventh on 18 points while Leverkusen are fourth with 21 points. Leipzig seem to still be struggling to cope with the managerial changes at the end of last season and it has affected their performances even in the Champions League. They are coming from a 5-0 away win over Genk but that’s a little too late, as they can’t proceed to the next stage of the competition. While they looked to have turned the corner in Bundesliga, with a seven-match unbeaten run, they were slowed down in the 2-0 loss at Hoffenheim in the last league game. The biggest positive to come from Leipzig this season is Christopher Nkunku’s form; the forward has four goals in their last four matches. Leipzig have four straight home wins in the league and each of the last five league games at home have produced over 2.5 goals.

Bayer Leverkusen go to this game unbeaten in four matches, winning three of them. They are coming from a 3-2 win over Celtic in the Europa League and will be looking to extend this good run in the Bundesliga, where it hasn’t been easy for them. Twice in their last four matches, Leverkusen have managed to score two or more goals but these came in the Europa League. In their last league game, they beat Bochum 1-0 for their first win in five league matches. However, they have failed to score in just one of those five matches. They have one clean sheet in the five league matches and both sides have scored in three of five. In three of those five matches, Bayer Leverkusen have conceded two goals or more in three.
