Prediction: 3-0
Darmstadt
Leipzig will look to build on a thrilling 4-1 win over Bochum when they face Darmstadt in the Bundesliga round 25. The Red Bulls are determined to secure their spot in the Champions League and they are likely to adopt an attack-minded approach in Saturday’s encounter. Lois Openda should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute at the weekend, while Xaver Schlager serves a one-game ban. Defender Lukas Klostermann misses out with a hip injury.
The Lillywhites, on the other hand, find themselves entrenched at the foot of the standings with only 13 points in their pockets and given their shaky defence, home win should definitely be considered. All Fabian Holland, Matthias Bader, Fabian Schnellhardt, Fabian Nurnberger, Clemens Riedel, Marvin Mehlem, Mathias Honsak, Fraser Hornby, and Braydon Manu are injured for the visiting side. You should know that Leipzig are eyeing their fifth consecutive win over Darmstadt.
