One of the most interesting matches of the 19th round of the German Bundesliga will take place on Saturday at the Red Bull Arena, where Leipzig will host Bayer Leverkusen. I suggest a bet on the outcome of this match with good odds.
Match preview
After the break, Leipzig played two matches with completely different scenarios. First, the team confidently dealt with Werder Bremen at home (4-2), but then lost to Stuttgart away (1-2). After that, the Bulls traveled to Bochum, where they could only manage a 3-3 draw.
The slip-up in the last round cost Leipzig their spot in the top four. Currently, the Bulls sit in 5th place with 31 points, just one point behind Stuttgart. During the week, Leipzig hosted Sporting Lisbon in the Champions League and secured a 2-1 win.
Bayer started the season with issues regarding consistency, but coach Xabi Alonso managed to fix things, especially in defense. As a result, the team is now in great form, having won 12 out of 13 matches in all competitions. The pharmaceutical team continues to fight for the title, trailing Bayern Munich by four points before the start of the 19th round.
In their last match, Bayer defeated Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-1 at home. The outcome of the match was decided by the 75th minute, when Bayer scored three goals. During the week, Bayer traveled to Madrid and lost to Atletico in the Champions League, conceding the decisive goal in the 90th minute.
