RB Leipzig to get the better of Bayer Leverkusen

On Sunday afternoon, RB Leipzig host Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga, as the home side look to cement their spot in the Champions League spots.

RB Leipzig have experienced a good couple of seasons in the German top-flight since promotion from the German second tier. This season the home side have also made a bright start to the campaign and currently sit fourth place in the table, just one point behind second-place Monchengladbach.

Leipzig are nine games unbeaten in the Bundesliga and last time out they recorded a 3-0 away win at Hertha Berlin. The result means that Leipzig have now kept four consecutive clean sheets in the German top-flight.

The home side are six games unbeaten at the Red Bull Arena in the Bundesliga, having recorded three wins and three draws. Leipzig have been prolific at the Red Bull Arena in the German top-flight, scoring at least two goals in five of their last seven league games on home soil.

Bayer Leverkusen have endured a highly inconsistent start to their Bundesliga campaign. In fact, they are currently 13th place in the German top-flight having collected just 13 points this season.

Bayer have struggled for victories in the Bundesliga of late, winning just one of their last five outings in the German top-flight. Last time out in the Bundesliga, they suffered a 4-1 home defeat against Hoffenheim.

The home side’s recent games in the German top-flight have been high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in five of their last six games.

Bayer have won just two of their last seven away games in the league. However, the visitors are unbeaten in three games on their travels, having recorded two wins and one draw. Their recent away games in the German top-flight have been relatively high scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in three of their last four matches.

Forebet predicts that RB Leipzig will record a victory in a high scoring encounter to enhance their chances of a top-four finish.
