RB Leipzig, who just suffered a 0-1 defeat to Eintracht Frankfurt, is of course trying to recover. This defeat ended their six-match unbeaten streak, which included five wins. Even though they are still in the top four of the standings, this defeat certainly had a psychological impact on the Leipzig players.
On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen is showing great stability. They just picked up a win over Augsburg at home, extending their winning streak to five games. Of the five matches, four of them were won by a margin of at least three goals.
With its latest performance, Leverkusen is currently leading the Bundesliga standings with 45 points from 17 matches, 4 points ahead of Bayern Munich who have only played 16 matches. Meanwhile Leipzig is in 4th place with 33 points, losing 1 point to Stuttgart.
Regarding the history of meetings, in the previous 15 meetings, Leipzig was ahead with seven wins, while Leverkusen won four times. However, in the last four meetings, Leverkusen seems more dominant with three wins.
Unfortunately, the latest news about the team’s strength states that Xabi Alonso will lose several players. The Spanish coach will lose two key players, Boniface and Arthur, who are currently recovering from injuries. Meanwhile, Leipzig will also lose Orban who is not fit enough to play.
Leverkusen are said to have performed much better than Leipzig – according to Sportmole’s Adepoju Marvelous. Leverkusen have managed to keep their net clean in five of their last seven Bundesliga matches, showing that their defense is very solid. With strong winning momentum, they have great potential to force Leipzig to accept a second defeat in a row.
