Prediction: 2-1
Koln
After sharing the spoils with Stuttgart in their opener, Leipzig will look to register their first win of the season when they host Koln to their Red Bull Arena. The Red Bulls are on a quest to put an end to Bayern Munich’s dominance in the Bundesliga, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at Koln. The club chiefs did well to keep hold of key attacker Christian Nkunku, who opened his goal-scoring account at the weekend, and we predict that the Frenchman will prove a handful for the opposition back-line.
Keep in mind, though, that all Konrad Laimer, Ilaix Moriba, and Yussuf Poulsen remain on the sidelines with injuries. The Billy Goats, on the other hand, recorded a 3-1 win over ten-man Schalke in their opener. Koln, though, are not regarded as good travellers, which is probably the main reason why home win should be considered. Both Mark Uth and Sebastian Andersson are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side.
Highlighted Player (Yussuf Poulsen):
Yussuf Poulsen is a Danish footballer who started his youth career at BK Skjold. At the age of 14 he joined Lyngby and he made his debut for the first team on 4 December, 2011. He came as a substitute in a match against Horsens after 84 minutes, substituting Mathias Tauber. However, he made no more than five league appearances for Lyngby in the 2011/2012 season.
Despite the fact that Lyngby dropped to Denmark 1st Division, Poulsen did not leave the club in the summer transfer window and it has to be noted that he made 30 appearances for the Vikings in the 2012/2013 campaign. On 4 July, 2013 he signed a deal with Leipzig and he has been playing for the German outfit ever since.
The 193-cm-tall attacker is capable of playing as both right and left winger. Poulsen’s father is Tanzanian, but he decided to represent the Danish national team. He made his debut for the senior team against Albania on 11 October, 2014. Poulsen scored his first ever goal for Denmark in a 2-0 win over Serbia on June 13, 2015.
