Bayer Leverkusen vs Leipzig Prediction & Picks - Bundesliga

 by Bradley Gibbs | in Bundesliga Picks

The final Bundesliga kick-off taking place on Saturday sees Bayer Leverkusen take on RB Leipzig at BayArena. The champions look to do the business once more having struck late in the day last time out, winning thanks to a late stoppage time goal from Florian Wirtz, who missed from the spot, but finished on the rebound in dramatic fashion. The visitors also made a winning start and will likely fancy themselves to do some damage here, so we should be in for a good game.

Our Bayer Leverkusen vs Leipzig Prediction

This is just the sort of game where RB Leipzig's direct forward Benjamin Sesko can thrive. As good as Leverkusen are, we know that they give teams chances, so don't be surprised if the sharp forward, who really caught the eye for Slovenia at the European Championships in the summer, makes the home keeper work here. Looking at the early lines, given his data and the fact that he ought to kick on and improve this season, Sesko is well worth betting on to register a shot on target. Our Pick: Benjamin Sesko Over 0.5 Shots on Target.
