• Competition: Regionalliga Nordost
• Date: Wednesday, 27th March 2024
• Kickoff: 18:00 UTC / 19:00 CET
• Venue: Alfred-Kunze-Sportpark (Leipzig)

Chemie Leipzig doesn't have a rich history as they never played in a league higher than their current rank, Regionalliga Nordost. The 2023/24 season is Chemie Leipzig's fifth straight at this level, and almost every year, they had a solid performance. This is the case this year, too, as Chemie Leipzig is 12th on the table with 14 points more than the relegation zone. Miroslav Jagatic's team had a good season, but they recently struggled with three straight defeats. On the weekend, Chemie Leipzig finally broke the negative run with a 3-0 win against Hertha II. 

Cottbus' best years in history were between 1997 and 2014 when they were constantly floating between Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga. Now, Cottbus are only a Regionalliga team, but they hope to return to the third level of German football. Right now, Cottbus are four points behind the league leader, Greifswald. Claus-Dieter Wollitz's team are on a phenomenal run of seven wins in the last eight matches. In the previous game, they won 1-0 on the road against Meuselwitz. 

Chemie Leipzig vs Cottbus pick: Cottbus to win

Chemie Leipzig trashed Hertha II, but before that they scored only one goal in three matches. On the other hand, Cottbus haven't allowed only any goals in the previous four games. Cottbus should be much closer to winning in this match.
