📈 RB Leipzig v Bayer Leverkusen Form & Tactics

Having no Champions League games to contend with has certainly helped RB Leipzig this season, who have been able to concentrate fully on domestic proceedings. Despite their loss against Union Berlin last weekend, Die Roten Bullen currently sit second in the league, only behind Bayern Munich. They have been particularly impressive on home turf, winning all six of their league matches, netting multiple goals in all of those matches. However, performances on the road has really let them down. Leipzig have failed to win any of their last three Bundesliga matches on their travels, while they were also dismantled 6-0 by Bayern Munich at the Allianz Arena in round one.

It has been a similar story for Bayer Leverkusen, who have been more convincing at home compared to away. Die Werkself were beaten 2-0 by Augsburg last time out on their travels. Dimitrios Giannoulis and Anton Kade were on the scoresheet in that game to give the hosts a two-goal lead before the 30-minute mark. Augsburg then sat deep in a low block, and despite Leverkusen’s dominance with 68% possession, they were unable to find the back of the net. They accrued a total of 20 shots, which were mostly of a speculative nature, with just two hitting the target.

📔 RB Leipzig v Bayer Leverkusen Formation & Team News

There is an extensive list of players unavailable for both teams heading into this clash. Yan Diomande and Amadou Haidara have departed for AFCON, while Antonio Nusa is unavailable through injury. Leipzig are looking short on wide options, so Tidiam Gomis could receive his first start of the season, after scoring off the bench against Union Berlin last time out. Romulu has returned to partial training following a knee injury, so seems to be nearing a return to first-team action, but Conrah Harder is likely to lead the line once more.

Leverkusen were dealt a big blow against Newcastle last time out in the Champions League, as Alejandro Grimaldo seemed to pick up an injury. He had to sit out against Koln last time out, as did Patrick Schick who failed to recover from an ankle injury. With Christian Kofane linking up with the Cameroon squad for AFCON, it’s uncertain who will lead the line for Leverkusen here. Ibrahim Maza has been a regular in midfield recently, but will also be unavailable for this clash.
