RB Leipzig Preview
Leipzig returned to the Bundesliga in the best possible way: first with a draw against Bayern, a direct rival for the top spot, and then with a comprehensive win over Schalke 04. With this last result and the Bavarians’ draw on matchday 17, the Red Bulls are now four points away from the lead.
Being the first clash of the matchday, the home team has the opportunity to momentarily close the gap between itself and Munich, but to do so, it will have to secure the three points in this new match. If we take into account that Leipzig is the best team playing at home, it is easy to think that it will have a good chance of achieving a win. Moreover, this team has remained undefeated in the 8 matches held so far (6 wins and 2 draws).
The consistency and regularity of Marco Rose’s team is worthy noticing, as the team has not lost an official game since September of last year.
Probable lineup (4-2-2-2-2): Janis Blaswich; Benjamin Henrichs, Willi Orban, Joško Gvardiol, Marcel Halstenberg; Konrad Laimer, Xaver Schlager; Dominik Szoboszlai, Dani Olmo; André Silva, Timo Werner.
Stuttgart Preview
Unlike Leipzig, Stuttgart will visit the Red Bull Arena after having drawn against Hoffenheim in the previous match. In this match, the opponent managed to even the game in the additional time, and it left Stuttgart with a bitter aftertaste.
At the moment, draws are of little use to this club because it is located in fourteenth place in the overall standings with 16 points. Moreover, there is only two points separating the team from the relegation zone. So far, the Reds have not been able to win any away game, with 4 draws and 4 defeats, so these do not seem to be the best figures for visiting such a solid opponent at home.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Florian Müller; Waldemar Anton, Konstantinos Mavropanos, Hiroki Itō, Nikolas Nartey; Chris Führich, Atakan Karazor, Wataru Endō; Silas Katompa Mvumpa, Serhou Guirassy, Tiago Tomás.
JefeBet Prediction
The first matchday clash between these two teams ended in a draw, but this was only the second match in which there was no winner. Leipzig has managed to maintain the lead against this opponent, remaining undefeated in the 8 games they have played, and winning 6 of them.
With the advantage of playing on their own field after achieving a 6-1 win in its previous match, the home team has everything served on a silver platter. It will get the three points that will keep them in the fight for the lead in the domestic tournament.
Prediction: Leipzig Asian Handicap (LEI 3-1 STU).
