RB Leipzig is hosting Arminia Bielefeld at Red Bull Arena in round 17 of the German Bundesliga. Leipzig might not be playing well on the road, but they are doing a good job at home, and their form at home has been great. Arminia is not winning a lot of games, they are not scoring a lot of goals, and they are now in 17th place in the standings.

Leipzig is now undefeated in their last 3 games, while winning 2 of those 3 games, however, Leipzig is still without a win on the road this season. with 22 points, Leipzig is in 9th place in the standings, and they have been quite good in the attacking end so far with 30 scored goals. Nkunku has scored 7 goals and added 5 assists for Leipzig this season. Silva has added 5 goals. Leipzig still has a slot of injuries, and players like Poulsen, Olmo, and Laimer would be in the starting lineup if they aren’t injured. Leipzig wasn’t great in the Champions League, but they were able to reach the third place and the Europa League where they will play against Real Sociedad. Leipzig’s last two games this year are not too hard, but they need to be careful because Leipzig has been fairly inconsistent this season.


There isn’t much we can say about Arminia except that they are one of the weakest teams in the league, and we will probably see them getting relegated when the season is over. In their last game against Bochum at home, Arminia has had probably their best game of the season, and they have won that match 2-0. Arminia is the weakest offensive team in the league with only 12 scored goals, but their defense has been solid, and that is the only thing that could keep them in Bundesliga for another season. Okugawa is the leading goalscorer for Arminia with 4 goals, while Klos added 3 goals. The good news for Arminia is supposed is they don’t have a lot of injuries, so that might help them get a few points in the future, but I’m not so sure about this game. Arminia has a lot of work to do, a lot of very hard work to do, and honestly, I’m don’t think they are capable of fixing that this season.

Leipzig has never lost to Arminia in the past, and they won’t start now. Maybe if Arminia was the home team here I would have given them a look, but in this game, I’m taking Leipzig.
