Can Leipzig Extend Their Perfect Home Record? RB Leipzig vs Elversberg Prediction | October 24, 2026
RB Leipzig host newly promoted Elversberg on October 24 in the seventh round of the Bundesliga. Leipzig have lost their last two matches, while Elversberg head into the fixture after a victory over Augsburg. However, Leipzig’s perfect home record gives them a strong foundation as they look to return to winning ways.
RB Leipzig
Leipzig are going through a difficult spell after suffering a 4–1 defeat to Real Madrid in the Champions League. Tidiam Gomez scored their only goal, leaving Leipzig with two defeats in their first three matches in the competition. They had previously lost 4–1 to Como before responding with a 1–0 win over PSV. Leipzig currently sit 30th in the overall Champions League table, with three goals scored and eight conceded.
Their latest Bundesliga outing also ended in disappointment, as Leipzig suffered a 6–1 defeat to Bayern Munich. Andrija Maksimovic scored their only goal late in the match. That result followed an emphatic 6–0 victory over Eintracht Frankfurt, highlighting the inconsistency in Leipzig’s recent performances.
After six league rounds, Leipzig sit seventh with nine points from three wins and three defeats. They have scored 16 goals and conceded 11, giving them one of the league’s most productive attacks. Leipzig also rank second for successful passes from open play, with an 87.9% completion rate, and lead the Bundesliga in sprints with 1,116.
Their home form has been particularly impressive. Leipzig have won all three of their Bundesliga matches on home soil, scoring 14 goals without conceding. They remain the only team in the league yet to let in a home goal this season.
- Possible Leipzig lineup: Vandevoordt, Baku, Orbán, Lukeba, Raum, El Aynaoui, Reitz, Gruda, Nkunku, Nusa, Gomis.
Elversberg
Elversberg are playing in the Bundesliga for the first time after finishing second in the second division last season. They have made a promising start to life in the top flight, recording wins over Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Mönchengladbach before beating Augsburg 4–3 in their most recent league match.
Their attacking output has helped them compete with established Bundesliga sides, although defensive consistency remains a concern. The 4–3 win over Augsburg illustrated both sides of their game: Elversberg can score several goals but can also allow opponents to stay in the contest.
After six rounds, Elversberg sit sixth with 10 points from three wins, one draw and two defeats. They have scored 12 goals and conceded 11, placing them one point ahead of Leipzig. Their away record is balanced, with one win, one draw and one defeat from three matches, alongside four goals scored and four conceded.
Elversberg also progressed in the first round of the German Cup after defeating Duisburg, giving them another positive result in the early part of the season.
- Possible Elversberg lineup: Kristof, Sirch, Pinckert, Rohr, Günther, Keidel, Poręba, Petkov, Schmahl, Krattenmacher, Mokwa.
Head-to-Head
The teams have met twice, both times in the German third division during the 2013/14 season. Leipzig won the home fixture 2–0, while Elversberg responded with a 1–0 victory on their own ground.
Key Trends
- Leipzig have won all three of their Bundesliga home matches this season, scoring 14 goals and conceding none.
- Leipzig have scored 16 goals in six league games.
- Over 2.5 goals were scored in 8 of Leipzig’s last 10 matches.
- Over 2.5 goals were scored in 5 of Elversberg’s last 7 matches.
Prediction
Leipzig’s recent defeats raise questions about their consistency, but their home performances in the Bundesliga have been convincing. Three wins, 14 goals scored and no goals conceded make their record at home a significant advantage. Their attacking numbers also suggest they have the capacity to trouble an Elversberg side that has conceded 11 times in six league matches. Elversberg have already shown they can compete in the top flight, and their recent 4–3 victory over Augsburg underlines the threat they pose going forward. However, their open matches may leave them vulnerable against Leipzig’s high-scoring attack. If the hosts can reproduce their home form, they have a good opportunity to recover from their recent setbacks. Recommended Bet: RB Leipzig to Win
