RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen will come face to face tomorrow night, in a game which could be vital for both teams in their search to climb the Bundesliga table. While Bayern Munich continue to rule over the division with an iron fist, there’s still room for teams to push them to the limit – and these two will be hoping to build on their performances thus far this season as we look ahead to the 2018/19 campaign.

RB Leipzig

Leipzig are one of the fastest rising sides in European football, with many suggesting that they’re the German equivalent of Leicester City. Their trajectory has never looked better as they continue to impress in the Bundesliga, and beyond that, they’re still in with a chance of winning the Europa League.

Team News

Halstenberg and Laimer will both miss the game with injuries.

Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer Leverkusen have fluctuated back and forth over the last few years in terms of quality, but this game gives them a chance to prove they can still hang with the big boys in this division. They’ve got the firepower necessary to make some noise, but as a unit, there are still a few components missing.

Team News

Alario’s suspension will rule him out, meanwhile, Pohjanpalo is struggling to find full fitness.

Factors to Consider

• In their first meeting this season, Leipzig and Leverkusen drew 2-2.
• Kevin Volland is on his longest scoring drought since joining Leverkusen.
• Leipzig are unbeaten in four Bundesliga games.
• Bayer Leverkusen have scored four more goals than Leipzig this season.
• The hosts are one point and one place above Leverkusen in the table.

Conclusion

Due to Leipzig’s European adventures continuing to loom large, we can’t see them coming away with a win from this one. With that being said, Leverkusen probably don’t have enough in the tank to pull off the victory, meaning that we’re predicting a draw.
