RB Leipzig, Recent FormRB Leipzig were forced to settle for a share of the points in their last league match, which wound up a 3-3 draw against Augsburg. Their share of possession in that meeting was 68%, while racking up 18 shots along the way, 7 of which were on target, in contrast to the numbers reached by Augsburg, who had 9 shots on goal with 3 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 14 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. Having found the net in 5 of their last 6 matches, they will be pleased that their forward line have found some good and consistent form of late.
They have been performing well at Red Bull Arena recently and are unbeaten in their last 6 home games.
On an individual basis, Christopher Nkunku will be looking to get on the scoresheet again at Red Bull Arena having scored 7 goals in RB Leipzig's last 6 home games in the league.
Bayer Leverkusen, Recent FormA 2-2 draw and a point gained against Wolfsburg in their previous meeting will have been considered a fairly decent for Bayer Leverkusen last time out. During that encounter they recorded 57% of the possession and had 13 attempts on goal with 5 on target, while their opponents managed to hit 1 of their 9 shots on goal.
Manager Xabi Alonso will be shining a spotlight on his team's poor defensive record of late, having conceded 14 goals in their last 6 games, despite picking up a modest amount of points due in no small part to the 10 goals they managed at the other end. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. They are in some turmoil defensively at the moment and have been unable to record a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games.
They have been enduring a less than rewarding period of form away from home at the moment, during which they have lost 3 and only picked up 2 wins from their last 6 matches.
On an individual basis, Patrik Schick is giving Bayer Leverkusen's travelling fans plenty to shout about having scored 3 goals in the squad's last 6 away games in the league.
In the previous league meeting between these two sides, it was RB Leipzig that came out on top with a 0-1 win.
Leipzig will feel sure their attacking prowess will yield results in this one, having scored at least 1 goal in the previous 12 encounters with Die Werkself.
Leipzig manager Marco Rose has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Emil Forsberg (Groin), Péter Gulácsi (Cruciate ligament), Amadou Haidara (Muscle), Lukas Klostermann (Ankle), Konrad Laimer (Ankle), Dani Olmo (Ligament) and Timo Werner (Illness) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Leverkusen manager Xabi Alonso has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Sardar Azmoun (Calf), Karim Bellarabi (Meniscus), Exequiel Palacios (Hamstring) and Florian Wirtz (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
