This Saturday, RB Leipzig will play Köln in the 4th round of the German championship at the Red Bull Arena. This match offers a good opportunity to bet on goals.
Match Preview
Leipzig has bounced back after a tough start, winning their last two matches without conceding. Ole Werner’s team has improved defensively and shows strong attacking skills, especially at home. They often score two or more goals in home games, making them a tough opponent.
Even with injuries to midfielders Nusa and Schlager, Leipzig has enough depth to control the game. They create scoring chances regularly, putting pressure on opponents. However, their defense has struggled, recording only three clean sheets in their last 13 home matches.
Köln comes into this match with confidence after earning a late draw against Wolfsburg. The team has shown resilience and can create chances even under pressure. They have scored eight goals this season, second only to Bayern, which is impressive.
However, Köln’s away performance is lacking, with just one win in their last 12 away games and seven draws. Despite this, they have scored in nine of their last ten away matches. Their defense, though, remains weak, making it hard for them to keep clean sheets on the road.
Probable Lineups
- Leipzig: Gulácsi, Raum, Lukeba, Orban, Baku, Banzuzi, Baumgartner, Romulo, Seiwald, Cardoso, Bakayoko
- Köln: Schwäbe, Hansen, Hübers, Husseinbasic, Sebulonsen, Martel, Waldschmidt, Schmid, Kaminski, Bülter, Thielmann
