Leipzig will be aiming to buil on their impressive cup performance when they take on Borussia M’gladbach in the Bundesliga round 1. The Red Bulls crushed Eintracht Trier 6-0 in the DFB Pokal, while their home form is particularly encouraging, with Leipzig winning all three of their last home matches. Star forward Yan Diomande has joined Real Madrid, but summer signings Maxime Esteve and Rocco Reitz are expected to make their Bundesliga debuts.
M’gladbach, meanwhile, enjoyed a perfect preseason before cruising past Schott Mainz 5-0 in their cup opener. Die Fohlen have won seven of their last 10 matches, scoring 28 goals, and they have been especially dangerous away from home, averaging 3.33 goals per game. However, the club lost several players in the summer, including Nico Elvedi, Giovanni Reyna and Rocco Reitz, who has moved to Leipzig. The hosts have also won 11 of the last 20 H2H meetings, which definitely suits our main betting pick.
As Leipzig's perfect home record gives them the edge in this matchup, we are tempted to bet on Home Win, alongside Leipzig Over 1.5 and Over 2.5 goals total (both sides have started the season in explosive fashion).
This Bundesliga match will be played on Saturday 29 August 2026 at 14:30.
