What Are the Chances Of Draws In Derby Matches?

A newly-founded club, RB Leipzig have wasted no time in announcing themselves in Germany, and indeed, on the European scene. Over the past two years, they have shown enough quality to prove they are capable of challenging for major honors.

Bayer Leverkusen, on the other hand, are an established Bundesliga side, having been in the top-flight for past decade. Having narrowly missed out on a top-four spot last season, they are keen on clinching Champions League football this time around.

RB Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen Team News

Following their explosive performances earlier on in the season, you can be forgiven for harboring thoughts of Leipzig snatching the Bundesliga crown off Bayern’s head. This side began the league campaign in brilliant fashion.

However, it turns out Die Roten Bullen only flattered to deceive with those displays as they have since been brought back down to earth. Still, they remain in contention for the title, merely seven points off the top of the log.

Their recent form has been quite embarrassing, dropping points in three of their previous five matches, including two defeats. With a return of 35 points from 18 matches, Leipzig sit second on the standings, two points clear of their next opposition Leverkusen.

Despite being overwhelming favorites for the win last time out against Mainz, Nagelsmann’s charges were dealt a major blow as they suffered an acrimonious 3-2 defeat. With the loss, they lost more ground in the title race, as Bayern moved further clear of them.

Just like Die Roten Bullen, Bayer Leverkusen are in something of a rut at the moment, as they struggle to string positive results on the spin. Once enjoying the view from the summit, Die Werkself have now dropped down to third-place.

Knowing fully well that victory over Leipzig will see them leapfrog this foe on the standings, Leverkusen will be bringing their A-game to Saxony. For all their dominance against Wolfsburg last weekend, the Company’s Eleven fell to defeat.

Profligacy got the better of them on the day, as their attackers failed to make any connection with the back of the net. Wolfsburg’s Baku fired a cracking effort past Hradecky on 35 minutes to send Leverkusen sinking. They will be gunning for a return to winning ways in this upcoming difficult contest.

Injured or Suspended Players

RB Leipzig: Fabrice Hartmann, Konrad Laimer, Benjamin Henrichs, Dominik Szoboszlai, Ibrahima Konate and Yussuf Poulsen.

Bayer Leverkusen: Paulinho, Santiago Arias, Exequiel Palacios, Sven Bender, Mitchell Weiser, Patrik Schick and Julian Baumgartlinger.

RB Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen Predictions

Both sides may have a number of key players sidelined for this fixture, but Leverkusen’s injury concerns seem more disturbing. Hence, the Red Bulls should use this to good effect to see off Bosz’s men.

Also, Leipzig are just behind table-toppers Bayern Munich, and will be eager to post a positive result in this fixture to remain hot on the Bavarians’ tails. Even though games of this stature could go either way, we will go out on a limb to tip RB Leipzig for an outright win.
