Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction & Betting Tips - Bundesliga
by Sridhar | in Bundesliga Predictions
Bundesliga title-chasers Bayer Leverkusen looks to continue their winning run when they travel to Leipzig this Saturday in a matchday 19 meeting. This match at the Red Bull Arena Leipzig comes with our prediction of over 2.5 goals.
Die Roten Bullen is 5th with 31 points and one behind the top four spots. The visiting Die Schwarzroten has 41 points and is four behind leaders Bayern. When the sides last met on matchday two, Leverkusen failed to hold their 2-0 lead and lost 3-2.
That was their only defeat of the campaign, though, managing to go on an unbeaten run hence. They are also on an eight-match recent winning streak, something they would love to continue here. Leverkusen also won 3-2 at this venue last season when these sides met in the league.
Leipzig needs a bit of improvement on their results, as they look to stay in the top-four race. Which way will this match sway? Read on to find out more about the form, playing XI, and our predictions.

Leipzig - Bayer Leverkusen: Form Analysis
Leipzig had a morale-boosting 2-1 win over Sporting in the Champions League on Wednesday. That continued their indifferent form, though, with only three wins from their last seven competitive matches.
In the league, Leipzig drew 3-3 at Bochum last weekend, where they failed to hold on to their three-goal lead. That was preceded by a disappointing 2-1 loss at Stuttgart the week before.
Leipzig has a better record at home, winning four of their last six league matches.
They lost just once in this sequence, a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Wolfsburg, but followed it with consecutive wins.
Leverkusen lost 2-1 at Atletico Madrid in their Champions League match on Wednesday, which ended their 11-game winning run in all competitions.
The visitors haven’t lost in the league since matchday two, when they were beaten 3-2 by Leipzig. Since that defeat, Leverkusen went on to win 11 and draw five matches, including eight victories in a row.
They are yet to lose away from home in this league campaign, winning five and drawing three, with the last three matches ending in wins.

Our Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen Prediction
Leipzig lost momentum in recent weeks with only one win from their last four league matches and just three wins from their last ten Bundesliga matches, putting them outside the top four. Leverkusen is running Bayern Munich closer with an impressive recent run. Eight wins in a row got them four points behind Bayern, erasing the hurt of five draws in six league games prior to this winning sequence. Either way, these teams have consistently been involved in high-scoring games, which could once again be the case here. Our RB Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen prediction is over 2.5.
Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen - Other Interesting Predictions
Patrik Schick to score anytime
Patrik Schick has 12 goals in his last eight league matches and is picking up form at the right moment. He has never scored a goal against Leipzig, but perhaps this is the best match to break that drought and lead Leverkusen.
