Our prediction for this Bundesliga match:
All eyes will be on BayArena when Bayer Leverkusen and Leipzig face each other in the Bundesliga derby. The hosts aim to stay in the Champions League race, and we are positive that they will adopt an attack-minded approach in Sunday’s clash. Important attacker Patrick Schick remains in the recovery room, but the Czech international has not been sorely missed in recent weeks. All Exequiel Palacios, Andrey Lunev, and Charles Aranguiz should miss out with injuries.
The Red Bulls, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Hertha Berlin and Augsburg, and given their attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. A man to watch in the away team will be returnee Timo Werner, who scored a brace at the weekend. David Raum is banned for the match, while all Mohamed Simakan, Yussuf Poulsen, Xaver Schlager, and Peter Gulasci remain in the recovery room.
Highlighted Player (Timo Werner):
Timo Werner is a German starlet, who began his senior career at Vfb Stuttgart. The German forward, who was born in Stuttgart on March 6, 1996, scored 13 goals in 95 appearances in the league for Die Schwaben and in 2016 he moved to fellow Bundesliga side Leipzig and he impressed with the Red Bulls in the 2016/2017 Bundesliga campaign, scoring 21 goals in the process.
To make things even better for the talented attacker, he represented Germany at the 2017 FIFA Confederations Cup and it has to be noted that he provided an assist for Lars Stindl in the title game.
