RB Leipzig to keep pressure on leaders
Leipzig had a very disappointing defeat against Mainz in their last match. They can’t afford to lose any more matches or Bayern will be too far away in the first position. They did have better possession against Mainz but they were caught on the break and paid for it.
Leipzig have won two of their last five matches.They have scored at least one goal in the last five matches and their last two home matches.They have the best defence in the bundesliga with just 17 goals conceded.
Bayer Leverkusen to hit back
Leverkusen were favorites for the title at one stage with the pundits but a slump in form starting mid-December and into the new year, saw Bayer trail by ten points from Bayern after they were leading the Bundesliga.
Bayer has won just one game in the last five games and has lost their last two away matches. They are finding it hard to score as well with four goals in five matches.
Key Stats
Verdict
These teams are very close regarding stats and form.We think Leipzig has what it takes to win this match although it will be important for them to solve the defensive mistakes they had in their last game against Mainz.
