Bayer Leverkusen
Bayer Leverkusen are chasing the last train towards the Champions League. This and next week’s direct duel against VfB Stuttgart will likely show where they stand, and we should expect a highly motivated performance this Saturday evening.
Bayer Leverkusen have won three of the last four Bundesliga matches, including a 1-2 away win against Koln last week.
They are one of the better home teams, recently going unbeaten in five matches (3 wins, 2 draws), even though they lost their most recent one, 1-2 to Augsburg.
RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig’s impressive run of five wins in a row is their best in the last three years.
They scored twice or more in four of their last five wins, including in their dominant 3-1 home win against Union Berlin last week.
Goals have been present in their games over the last few months, with 10 of their last 12 matches ending with 3+ goals.
Their away form has also been good – RB Leipzig won 4 of the last 5 on the road.
The Betting Verdict
Bayer Leverkusen beat RB Leipzig four times in their last six Bundesliga duels. The first match this season ended in a 1-3 away win.
I expect RB Leipzig’s winning Bundesliga run to stop in Leverkusen. The home side has higher motives in their battle for a top-four finish, so they should be pumped up and ready for a good game.
The odds on the home win are pretty good, so back Bayer Leverkusen to win the match.
