Prediction: 1-1
Leipzig
Holstein Kiel will try to recover from a heart-breaking 3-1 loss to St. Pauli when they face Leipzig in the Bundesliga round 13. The newcomers are on a three-game losing run and they face yet another uphill task against the Red Bulls. Austria forward Benedikt Pichler is pushing for a rare start following his fine performance in the last league match, while all Knudsen, Schulz, Skrzybski, Bernhardsson, Kelati, and Kleine-Bekel miss out with injuries.
The Red Bulls, on the other hand, suffered a massive 5-1 loss to Wolfsburg in their last league match. Leipzig do not seem to be at their sharpest and given their four-game winless run in the national championship, we believe that punters from all around the globe can find value in betting on draw. All Poulsen, Simons, Raum, Lukeba, Klostermann, and Ouedraogo are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
