THE PREDICTION

Both these sides are coming off the back of excellent European triumphs in midweek, RB Leipzig particularly so, having thrashing Club Brugge 0-5 in Belgium. Jesse Marsch’s side sit three points behind Bayer Leverkusen in the Bundesliga following their defeat last weekend away at Hoffenheim in the and they’ll be desperate to put things right here at home. Leverkusen in contrast won narrowly against Bochum and won’t be phased by the challenge ahead. The visitors are not expected to take any unnecessary risks here, knowing that a draw keeps them above Leipzig in the table. With that in mind, the hosts will have to patient and ensure they are not picked apart on the counter-attack. With two good teams on show, a cagey affair may be in prospect, so consider backing under 2.5 goals scored in this one.
