RB Leipzig form and stats

RB Leipzig have been very solid at home in the Bundesliga so far, with 16 points collected from 6 matches (5-1-0). This has contributed greatly to their 6th position in the table. Ever since the FC Köln game RB Leipzig has been unbeatable here at Red Bull Arena producing five straight wins.

A good away victory last time out for RB Leipzig, who won 3-1 against Hoffenheim (placed 9th). Nkunku has scored in five matches in a row. Skilful! The talented striker Nkunku outshone all others in that match and was awarded a match rating of 9.03 out of 10. Nkunku scored two goals, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times and had 41 successful passes (of 46 total).

Before that game, a fine away victory at Shakhtar Donetsk. A Champions League match. The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Leipzig's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played 4 games, won 2 matches, drawn 2 and lost 0.

Scoring bonanza? Nobody knows about this one, but we do know that 9 of the 12 most recent league games with this side has contained at least three goals.

There will be little rest for RB Leipzig after this match as they are travelling to Werder Bremen for a Bundesliga game in only three days.

Goals are plentiful at Red Bull Arena in the league this season as RB Leipzig has scored 16 goals here in 6 home games. Leipzig have only conceded 4 from their league home games. For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
