- Venue: Red Bull Arena (Leipzig)
In the last few years, we used RB Leipzig to be among the top four Bundesliga teams. However, currently, they are one point behind that status. RB Leipzig are not at the desired level, as they won only two of the last four matches in all competitions. On Wednesday, RB Leipzig won 2-1 at home in the Champions League against Sporting CP. The home side created much better goal-scoring chances. They finished the game with an xG of 2.32, while the guests had only 0.92, so RB Leipzig's victory was well-deserved.
After winning the Bundesliga title last season, Bayer Leverkusen are in the position to be the only one to compete with Bayern Munich. Xabi Alonso's team are four points behind the league leader and hopes to add more silverware at the end of the season. Bayer Leverkusen were in brilliant form with 11 wins in a row until Tuesday when they lost 2-1 on the road in the Champions League against Atletico Madrid. The home side played with ten players most of the game but still found a way to secure a big win.
RB Leipzig vs Bayer Leverkusen pick: Over 2.5 goals
RB Leipzig scored ten goals in the last four matches. On the other hand, Bayer Leverkusen scored 13 goals in the previous five games. Both these teams have excellent attacking lines, so we should expect at least three goals at Red Bull Arena in Leipzig.

Bayer Leverkusen team news
Bayer Leverkusen's only transfer this winter is Alejo Sarco, a 19-year-old forward from Velez Sarsfield. It is unlikely that Sarco will have a role in Bayer Leverkusen's first team this year.
Xabi Alonso's team also has some problems with missing players. Amine Adli, Jeanuel Belocian, and Martin Terrier will not play on Saturday in Leipzig.
