Our Predictions

The match will end in a draw.
3.50

Given both teams are in disarray, a draw seems likely with both handling defensive woes similarly.

There will be under 2.5 goals in the match.
2.00

With both sides cashing in on goals like a bank during a recession, it's a strong play to bet on fewer than 3 goals.

RB Leipzig will win 1-0.
8.50

I'd put money on Leipzig's home advantage to yield a narrow victory, keeping their tight defence in mind.
