Bayer Leverkusen vs RB Leipzig

The weekend’s Bundesliga action rounds off at the BayArena without a mouth-watering top-four six-pointer between Bayer Leverkusen and RB Leipzig.

Gerardo Seoane’s men have picked themselves up from a disastrous 1-0 home loss to Cologne in early March, going unbeaten in their last three Bundesliga matches (W2, D1) to reignite their top-four bid. But with fifth-placed Freiburg lagging only one point behind, Leverkusen are not off the hook yet. Unbeaten in eight of their last nine Bundesliga home outings (W6, D2), ‘Die Werkself’ have plenty to look forward to, especially as they netted 2+ goals in seven of those games. After coming out 3-1 victors in the first half of the season, Leverkusen could complete their first-ever Bundesliga double over Leipzig. However, the H2H record firmly opposes this hypothesis, with Bayer winning just two of their 11 previous top-flight H2Hs (D4, L5).

In the meantime, Leipzig cruised to a 2-0 win at Atalanta in European midweek to secure their place in the Europa League semi-finals. Brimming with confidence following another inspiring showing, Leipzig will be looking to maintain their 100% unbeaten Bundesliga ratio at the BayArena (W2, D3). Domenico Tedesco’s men go into proceedings in a rich vein of form, having avoided defeat in their last 13 matches across all competitions (W9, D4). Notably, seven of those nine victories have seen ‘Die Roten Bullen’ score 3+ goals, meaning another high-scoring affair could be on the cards. In addition to finding the net in each of their 11 previous top-flight H2Hs, Leipzig boast a thoroughly impressive defensive record on the road this season. Indeed, the visitors have conceded a league joint-low 14 Bundesliga away goals, at an average of 1.14 per game.
