Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-2
Leipzig
All eyes will be on BayArena when Bayern Leverkusen and Leipzig square off against each other in the opening match of the season. Leverkusen rolled over Teutonia Ottensen 8-0 in the DFB Pokal at the weekend, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against the Red Bulls. All Gustavo Puerta, Sardar Azmoun, Piero Hincapie, and Patrik Schick are out of contention with injuries, while star signing Granit Xhaka should make his Bundesliga debut against Leipzig.
The visitors, on the other hand, are brimming with confidence following a thrilling 3-0 win over Bayern Munich in the German Super Cup. Given Leipzig’s attacking potential, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on both teams to score. A man to keep an eye on in the visiting team will be Dani Olmo, who scored a hat-trick in the Allianz Arena triumph, while all Kampl, Haidara, Gulacsi, and Baumgartner miss out with injuries.
