Bayer Leverkusen will face Leipzig in week 29 of the 2022/2023 German League which can be watched via live streaming on ESPN on Sunday, April 23 2023, ET.
Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig will face each other on Sunday at BayArena in a Bundesliga match that could have huge implications for both teams’ European ambitions. Leverkusen are chasing a Europa League spot for next season, while Leipzig are aiming for a Champions League place. Both teams are also still alive in the Europa League and the DFB Pokal respectively, so they have plenty to play for in the final weeks of the season.
Leverkusen have been in superb form under new coach Xabi Alonso, who took over the club when they were struggling in the bottom-half of the table. The former Bayern München midfielder has inspired a seven-game unbeaten run in the league, which has lifted them to sixth place, six points behind the top-five. They also reached their first European semi-final since 2001/02 by beating Ajax in the Europa League quarter-finals.
Leipzig have also been impressive under Marco Rose, who joined the club from Borussia Mönchengladbach in the summer. The Red Bulls are fourth in the table, one point ahead of fifth-placed Freiburg, and have a chance to qualify for the Champions League for the third consecutive season. They also advanced to the DFB Pokal semi-finals by knocking out Bayern München in a thrilling 3-2 win.
The match promises to be an exciting and high-scoring affair, as both teams have plenty of firepower and flair in their ranks. Leverkusen’s young star Florian Wirtz has been sensational this season, scoring or assisting three goals in his last two home games and posting an average Flashscore rating of 8.1. Leipzig’s Timo Werner has been equally prolific, scoring his 99th and 100th Bundesliga goals in his last game and joining the elite 100 club.
The history between the two sides also suggests a close and entertaining contest, as they have never drawn in seven previous meetings. Leipzig won 2-0 in their previous encounter in October, with goals from Nkunku and Werner. However, Leverkusen have never lost to Leipzig at home in the Bundesliga, and will hope to extend their three-match home winning streak.
Both teams have a lot at stake on Sunday, and will be determined to claim all three points. Leverkusen will be confident of ending their winless run against Leipzig at home and closing the gap to the top-five. Leipzig will be eager to stay ahead of Freiburg and secure their place in the Champions League. It will be a thrilling clash for Europe at BayArena.
