RB Leipzig v Leverkusen

Despite defeat to Celtic in the Europa League on Thursday, RasenBallsport Leipzig remain in great shape this season - currently sitting in 3rd in Bundesliga, safely through the first two hurdles of the German Cup, and likely to qualify from their Europa League. They have won or drawn 19 of their opening 22 games - achieving a 55% win rate.

Leverkusen are enjoying rather less success, losing six of their opening 16 matches, and won't fancy a trip to Leipzig, who are generally considered to be an excellent home side.

In terms of expected goals, general wisdom suggests neither side is significantly out of position in the table.

Much here might depend on late team news, with Timo Werner a slight doubt for RB Leipzig, but he is likely to make the game to partner Yussuf Poulson.

Leverkusen have their own doubts, with Wendell, Bender and Bellarabi all considered doubts.

On balance, the home team look overpriced at a shade of odds-on in this one and are worth supporting.
