Bayer Leverkusen vs RB Leipzig Predictions

• Seven of Leverkusen’s last eight home league games saw over 2.5 total goals.
• Leverksuen scored 2+ goals in seven of their last eight home league games.
• Leipzig scored at least twice in five of their last six away league games.
• Both teams scored in five of the last six H2H meetings.

Saving the best for last

The final Bundesliga game of the weekend sees a top-four clash which could prove pivotal in deciding both Leverkusen and Leipzig’s final league position. Neither side are quite home and hosed in the top-four as of yet, so victory is essential for both.

Only games involving Bayern and Dortmund averaged more total goals per league game than Leverkusen’s 3.8 this season, while Leipzig’s league games also averaged a sizeable 3.3 total goals, suggesting this could be a similarly exciting encounter.

Adding further spice to the tie is Leipzig’s potentially rotated squad after making a European semi-final with their successful trip to Italy in midweek (2-0 W). Interestingly, a Leipzig-Leverkusen clash directly followed a trip to Brugge earlier in the season and ended 4-1.

Go for goals

Given the attacking prowess of both sides, we predict that both teams will score with over 2.5 total goals in this game.

However, the sides could end up cancelling each other out with a 2-2 draw, a result which would ensure that both sides remain in the top-four at the end of the round.
