The 2023/24 Bundesliga will start with an interesting match between Leverkusen and RB Leipzig on Saturday, 19 August 2023. Both teams have the ambition to compete at the top of the standings and challenge Bayern Munich’s dominance.
Leverkusen and Leipzig have both had very impressive attacking games of late. Last weekend in the German National Cup, Leverkusen scored up to 8 goals against underclass team Teutonia Ottensen and they have scored up to 14 goals in the last 3 matches.
RB Leipzig showed that they are still a strong team in the domestic competition. Currently, the club is very confident after they beat Bayern Munich 3-0 in the 2023 German Super Cup game. It was the team’s second consecutive win and they put in a great performance.
In this match, Leverkusen will not be strengthened by the duo Hincapie and Adli because both of them have received suspension from the 2022/23 season. Apart from that, Schick and Azmoun are also experiencing different problems so the possibility of playing is still uncertain.
Meanwhile, visiting Leipzig will also be missing Gulacsi, Haidara and Bitshiabu. However, they still have a large selection of quality players on every front, such as Upamecano, Sabitzer, Nkunku, Forsberg and Poulsen.
Entertaining RB Leipzig when the visitors were playing well, Leverkusen is predicted to face many difficulties. In the last few seasons, they have also often had trouble facing this opponent. Of the last 10 times the two teams have met, there have only been 2 times that Leverkusen have been able to win.
Both teams have a sharp line of attack and can create many goal opportunities. However, Leipzig has the advantage in a more solid and disciplined defense. Therefore, it is estimated that the final match will be won by Leipzig.
