We believe Leipzig appear most likely to begin the game with a 4-4-2 system, starting Peter Gulacsi, Lutsharel Geertruida, Willi Orban, Castello Lukeba, Ridle Baku, Kevin Kampl, Nicolas Seiwald, David Raum, Xavi Simons, Ikoma Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko.

✨ Prediction

Our assessment is that Borussia Mönchengladbach would be disappointed if they were not to score a goal against this RB Leipzig side, but a single goal may not be as many as they’ll concede.

Our tip is for a tight encounter finishing with a 1-2 victory for RB Leipzig when the full-time whistle blows. It really should be an interesting one.
