Bayer Leverkusen – RB Leipzig

Bayer Leverkusen will host RB Leipzig in what promises to be a decisive clash in the middle of the table, with the home side sitting seventh on four points after a win, a draw and a loss, scoring eight and conceding five. Leipzig arrive in the BayArena in fifth place, already on six points from two victories and a single defeat, having netted nine while allowing just three. The two teams have already met twice this season, each taking a point from the other, so the encounter could swing the balance of power. Leverkusen will need to tighten up defensively to match Leipzig’s efficient attack, while the visitors will look to extend their superior goal difference and keep the pressure on the leaders. A win for either side could see them leapfrog a rival and tighten the race for European qualification.
