A real buzz is expected in and around BayArena on Saturday afternoon. Bayer Leverkusen host RB Leipzig in the last game of the day.
This will be the maiden home match of the new season for the defending champions. Bayer entered the campaign with a hardly-fought 3-2 victory away at Borussia Monchengladbach last Friday.
Florian Wirtz starred with a brace, including the fantastic match winner in the 11th minute of stoppage time at Stadion im BORUSSIA-PARK.
Bayer Leverkusen registered as many as 9 shots on target on the occasion, creating an xG of 4.00 in the process.
They will likely create loads up front against RB Leipzig who also favour attacking-minded football.
To be fair, Lepizig did not show much of that last weekend, only beating Bochum 1-0 on the home patch in the opening fixture of the season.
Substitute and newly-signed Antonio Nusa made the difference on the occasion. The fact that RB Leipzig fired fewer shots on target than Bochum in the home fixture speaks volumes about their overall performance on the occasion.
Bayer Leverkusen vs RB Leipzig Prediction
There is a lot to like about the home win pick. Bayer Leverkusen have been the dominant force in the recent H2H clashes with RB Leipzig.
The hosts go into this on the back of three straight wins over Die Red Bulls. They have scored three goals in each of the last season’s two matches against RB Leipzig.
Also, Leverkusen have shown great attacking rhythm at the beginning of the season, bagging five goals in the wins over Stuttgart and Borussia Monchengladbach.
