RB Leipzig vs. Bayer Leverkusen 11/28/21 Bundesliga Soccer Picks, Best Bets and Odds

RB Leipzig is welcoming Bayer Leverkusen to Red Bull Arena in round 13 of the German Bundesliga. Leipzig bought themselves a chance to qualify for the Europa League, but they are definitely out of the Champions League. Leverkusen is doing very well in Bundesliga this season, but they have been struggling a little bit as of late.

Leipzig has been solid lately, and they have lost only 1 of their last 8 goals. In that Champions League game against Club Brugge on the road this past week, Leipzig has had 45% of ball possession, 13 shots on goal, 5 corner kicks, 6 big chances created, and only 67% of the correct passes. Leipzig was outstanding on both ends in this game, and with so many shots on goal, they were bound to score a few, and they did. Leipzig has won this game 0-5. In Bundesliga, Leipzig is now in 8^th place with 18 points, but they are not far from the top 4, and if they can keep playing this well, they will be there in no time. Nkunku is the leading goalscorer for Leipzig with 5 goals and 3 assists. Leipzig has a ton of injuries right now, a few players in quarantine because of the covid protocol, and that is making their situation a bit hard right now. I think Leipzig is a solid team, and there isn’t much more you can expect from them because they have been selling their best players every season, and I hope that will stop if they want to be in the title race.

Leverkusen is also in great form right now, they have 3 wins in their last 4 games, while they haven’t lost any of those 4 games. During this streak, Leverkusen has scored 9 goals while conceding only 3 goals. In their midweek match against Celtic in the Europa League, and they were the better team with 58% of ball possession, 7 shots on goal, 11 corner kicks, 6 big chances created, and 85% of the correct passes. After getting ahead in the 16^th minute, Leverkusen conceded 2 goals and they were ahead in the 56^th minute. Luckily for Leverkusen, they have scored 2 goals in the last 10 minutes of this game, and they have won this game 3-2. Leverkusen is still in the top 4 in Bundesliga, in 4^th place with 21 points, 25 scored goals, and 17 conceded goals. This is an incredibly talented team we have here, they are still a young team, they like to play attacking soccer, and they can score a ton of goals.

With all the injuries Leipzig has, and that will be a huge problem for them in this game. We have seen a ton of goals in this matchup in the past, and I think this will be the same, but I will side with Leverkusen.
