RB Leipzig Bayer Leverkusen match preview

The last game in this round of Bundesliga is also a derby, since these teams are struggling for placement in the Champions League. Specifically, the situation at the top of the table is such that it can happen that both teams remain without Europa League, if they play somewhat weaker in the finish of the season. The stakes are high in this match and Leipzig is welcoming it after a series of seven games without a defeat, concluding with a victory in Europa League, while Bayer has no triumphs in the previous two games. In the first part of the season, these two rivals have played 2-2

RB Leipzig

Leipzig continues to fight on the two fronts this season and for now it all seems even very good. In the quarter-finals of Europa League, they have mastered Marseille with 1-0, and this is a good result because they have not received any goals and have this particular advantage. Already on Thursday they will have a rematch and they have to think about that duel, but not too much, given that this is a very important match.

They captured a good rhythm and they are undefeated in four championship rounds, with two draws and two victories, one of which was over Bayern. In the last round Hannover was defeated as guest in the match in which they had the lead of 2-0, but in the end they were fearing for a triumph of 3-2. Compared to this match, Orban and Bernard were not in the last line against Marseille, while everything else was the same. Now Laimer is injured, so Bernardo returns, as well as Orban, while Sabitzer goes in midfield.

Probable lineups RB Leipzig: Gulacsi – Klostermann, Orban, Upamecano, Bernardo – Demme, Keita – Sabitzer, Forsberg – Augustin, Ti.Werner

Bayer Leverkusen

Bayer continues to play with changeable games lately and it is really hard to tell how this team will play in every new duel. Oscillations have begun with two unexpected defeats at home by Hertha and Schalke when they did not even score a goal in those duels. After that, they celebrated in Wolfsburg, then finally in their field and it was quite safe against the unpleasant Borussia M’gladbach, while they failed again in the previous two games.

They have lost to Cologne in a neighbourhood derby with 2-0, with the proviso that they, just like in some earlier duels, played with lesser players on the field, due to the suspension of striker Alari. In the last round they were favourites against Augsburg, but despite domination, they did not score, and the result was 0-0. Retsos has replaced Jedvaj in that duel, Kohr played instead of Havertz, and Volland instead of Alari, who is still suspended and will not play this match as well. L.Bender jumps on the right-back, and Havertz again in the middle.

Probable lineups Bayer Leverkusen: Leno – L.Bender, Tah, S.Bender, Wendell – Baumgartlinger, Aranguiz – Brandt, Havertz, Bailey – Volland

Verdict:

Leipzig is playing very well lately, and it is felt on their results, but they are certainly more tired than Bayer, which is unpredictable and can always shine. We expect the guests to play a good match, which means that they should score after two duels, as well as the home team.
