RB Leipzig Köln betting prediction

The home team comes to this 2^nd round after having drawn (1‑1) in the 1st round, in a match against VfB Stuttgart. This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 36 goals scored and 16 conceded; against 8 wins, 4 draws and 3 losses at their stadium, with 28 goals scored and 19 conceded. In the last 10 home matches Leipzig has won 5, tied 2 and lost 3. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 51 of the last 59 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 39 out of 59 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 15 matches, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

The team led by Domenico Tedesco comes for this match with a draw, 1-1, at Stuttgart: the team's only goal was signed by Christopher Nkunku. The home team usually plays in a 3-5-2, mostly trying to take advantage of counterattacks. In this tactical formation, the two most advanced men will be André Silva and Christopher Nkunku, the latter being very fast and competent when it comes to finishing. The home coach will not be able to count on Lukas Klostermann and Yussuf Poulsen, both with physical problems.

Confirmed Lineup: Péter Gulácsi, Willi Orbán, Mohamed Simakan, Benjamin Henrichs, Marcel Halstenberg, David Raum, Dominik Szoboszlai, Daniel Olmo, Christopher Nkunku, Hugo Novoa, Timo Werner.
Coach: D. Tedesco.
