Leipzig's Midfield Battleground vs. Leverkusen's Attack
Look, this one’s all about Xavi Simons against Granit Xhaka. Can Simons unlock Leverkusen's defense, or will Xhaka's bite nullify Leipzig's creativity?
Leverkusen has stumbled a bit lately, dropping points to Stuttgart and drawing with Eintracht Frankfurt after a long unbeaten run. Leipzig, meanwhile, is riding high, having won four of their last five, including a dominant 4-1 win over Wolfsburg.
Thing is, the home advantage and Leipzig's recent surge will be too much. I’m calling a 2-1 win for RB Leipzig.
