RB Leipzig vs Hertha Berlin Predictions

• Leipzig have won five of their last seven home league games at both half-time and full-time.
• Hertha suffered HT/FT defeats in seven of the last nine H2Hs with Hertha.
• Leipzig kept clean sheets in six of their last eight home league games.

Red Bulls are on the charge

After losing two of his first three games as the Leipzig boss, Marco Rose has followed that up with an impressive four-game unbeaten streak ahead of this encounter. That run was capped off with a convincing 2-0 win at Celtic in midweek, a result which keeps them in the hunt for Champions League glory.

Leipzig are currently languishing in the bottom-half of the table following their worst start to a Bundesliga season after nine rounds, yet there is plenty to be optimistic about under the new coach. For a start, Leipzig scored at least twice in 12 straight H2H encounters, so the visit of Hertha may come at a good time.

Hertha have suffered a frustrating start to the campaign, winning just one of their opening nine league games. However, a run of five draws therein suggests that they may be solid, but even so, Hertha conceded first in two thirds of their league games to date and could find themselves floundering yet again.

It’s all rosy for Leipzig

We’re backing the hosts to come out on top here, yet the straight win provides little in the way of value. As such, we’re going for Leipzig to lead at both half-time and full-time, just as they did in seven of the last nine H2Hs at any venue and in five of their last seven home league games.

As for the correct score, we’re going for a small stakes play on a 2-0 win. Each of Leipzig’s six wins this season came with multi-goal margins, whilst only once have they conceded in victory.
