RB Leipzig have dominated Bundesliga this season, and only a recent dip in form saw them relinquish top spot to Bayern Munich. Be that as it may, Die Rotten Bullen are only just one point behind the Bavarians, and with eleven games to the end of the Bundesliga season, they can’t afford any more slip-ups.

Leverkusen themselves are still very much in the title race, as they are only just six points behind league leaders, Bayern Munich. However, they are much more likely to secure a European spot than they are to win the league title.

Die Werkself have struggled for consistency at times this season, but they have hit peak form at the right time. A run of four wins in their last five league matches has cemented their position in the top five, and the onus is on them to break into the top four.

RB Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen Team News

The German Bundesliga’s second-placed side, RB Leipzig, will host fifth-placed Bayer Leverkusen this Saturday. This game will see two of the Bundesliga’s highest scorers go head to head.

RB Leipzig have been difficult to stop in front of goal this season. They are currently the Bundesliga’s third-highest goalscorers, scoring a total of 61 goals in their 23 Bundesliga games this season. Leipzig may fancy their chances going forward this weekend against a Leverkusen side who have failed to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last 12 Bundesliga games.

Bayer Leverkusen have also been one of the Bundesliga’s highest-scoring sides this season. They have scored a total of 40 goals in their 23 Bundesliga games, which makes them the Bundesliga’s fifth-highest scoring team going into Saturday’s game.

Saturday’s hosts Leipzig may struggle to keep a clean sheet against Leverkusen’s in-form attack this weekend. While Leverkusen have scored in each of their last seven Bundesliga games, Leipzig have kept just one clean sheet in their last six Bundesliga home games.

Leipzig have seen both teams score in nine of their 11 Bundesliga home games during the 2019/20 season so far.

Meanwhile, Leverkusen have also seen both teams score in four of their last six Bundesliga games. We feel that both of these two teams stand a good chance at getting on the scoresheet in Saturday’s fixture.

Both of these two teams have been enjoying an impressive run of form lately. However, Leipzig’s recent home form may make them slightly more convincing than Leverkusen to take all three points in Saturday’s game.

Leipzig are currently undefeated in each of their last eight Bundesliga home games going into this Saturday’s fixture. Furthermore, they have won six of their last eight Bundesliga home games. Furthermore, Leipzig have won four of their last seven Bundesliga games versus Leverkusen, losing just once.

Injured or Suspended Players
