RB Leipzig form and stats

Leipzig participated in Champions League the last season, where they reached the 8th finals.

Perfect Bundesliga season at home so far for RB Leipzig 2 wins from 2 appearances. Hopes of three in a row are alive for RB Leipzig after consecutive victories at their own ground.

The Leipzig goalkeeper Peter Gulacsi is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 250 minutes without conceding a goal in the Bundesliga.

A strong away win for Leipzig against Augsburg the last match, as Angeliño and Yussuf Poulsen were on target. Previous to that game, a Bundesliga home match hosting Schalke 04 in a game that was won 4-0.

RB Leipzig are believed to win this game, given a winning chance of about 70% by the bookmakers. We have checked our records for their performance in similar circumstances and found ten matches and the win/draw/lost stats: Won six, drew four and lost zero.

Some members of the home team might already be thinking of their next match, the Bundesliga game versus Hertha BSC in only four days. This game is also played here at Red Bull Arena.

It's still early days, but we have some goal stats for the RB Leipzig at home in the league. 7 on target and 1 scored by the opposition; from 2 matches.

İstanbul Başakşehir form and stats

Last season their Champions League adventure ended in the 3rd qualifying round.

Things could have gone better for İstanbul Başakşehir in their Super Lig away matches, but 3 points from 3 games is all right.

The Başakşehir goalkeeper Fehmi Mert Gunok is collecting clean sheets like a laundry worker. It's been 180 league minutes without conceding a goal, and counting.

It's the second away game in a row for İstanbul Başakşehir, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Trabzonspor in the Super Lig last time out. Prior to that match, the Başakşehir manager O. Buruk faced defeat when travelling to Fatih Karagumruk and losing 0-2.

Başakşehir goalie Mert Günok was high and low in the Trabzonspor game, contributing six saves towards the victory.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Başakşehir played away with similar odds. This revealed one game. The visitors overcame the odds to win one time, zero were draws and the home team won as expected zero times.

A quick return to home after this game, as Başakşehir are hosting Antalyaspor in the Super Lig only four days away.

The visitors have scored 2 goals from 3 away games in the league, an average of less than one per game. 4 goals have been conceded by Başakşehir in these games.
