"However, Die Roten Bullen finished as low as fourth in the Bundesliga table last season and are expected to at least challenge for the Champions League places this time around. Leipzig are doing relatively well at the moment. Ole Werner's side may be nine points behind leaders and defending champions Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga table this season, but they are second in the standings, three points ahead of fourth-placed Bayer Leverkusen."
"RB Leipzig will head into the Bundesliga game against Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday on the back of a 3-1 victory over Union Berlin away from home in the league. It came after a 6-0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt in front of their fans in the Bundesliga, which followed a 3-1 win against 1. FC Magdeburg at the Red Bull Arena in the DFB-Pokal."
"Bayer Leverkusen are a major club in the Bundesliga who tend to challenge for the title. Die Werkself finished second in the league table last season and are aiming to become the champions of Germany in the 2025-26 campaign. Kasper Hjulmand's side, though, are unlikely to challenge defending champions and leaders Bayern Munich for the title this campaign. Bayer are fourth in the Bundesliga table at the moment with 26 points"
RB Leipzig and Bayer Leverkusen meet at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday with kickoff at 5:30pm UK time. RB Leipzig sit second in the Bundesliga, nine points behind Bayern Munich and three points clear of Bayer Leverkusen. Leipzig arrive after recent wins including 3-1 at Union Berlin, 6-0 over Eintracht Frankfurt, and a 3-1 DFB-Pokal victory versus 1. FC Magdeburg. Leipzig are likely to line up 4-3-3 with Peter Gulacsi in goal and a midfield of Christoph Baumgartner, Nicolas Seiwald and Xaver Schlager. Bayer occupy fourth place with 26 points and are seen as less likely to challenge Bayern for the title. The match is predicted to finish 2-2.
