Football – Germany – Bundesliga Betting Tips

RB Leipzig will be keen to re-ignite their Bundesliga season on Saturday afternoon when they take on second from bottom club, Hamburg, at their Red Bull Arena following some recent disappointing results.

Leipzig have been unable to replicate their heroics of last season where they pushed perennial German champions, Bayern Munich, for most of the campaign, as the hosts currently sit in fifth spot ahead of this weekend, following just one win from their last six matches overall.

Recent defeats to Hoffenheim, Hertha Berlin and Freiburg have slowed their progress down, but Leipzig still hold a reasonable home record of  6-2-1 20/11, with their one loss being against Hertha Berlin, but they’ve beaten the likes of second placed Eintracht Frankfurt and fourth placed Schalke so far.

Hamburg sit second from bottom in the Bundesliga and are five points from safety ahead of their trip to Leipzig where they’ll be looking to avoid a fifth straight defeat on the trot, following losses to Eintracht Frankfurt, Borussia Moenchengladbach, Augsburg and Cologne.

Indeed, the visitors have gone six league matches overall without a win, while their away form has been wretched, losing seven of their last eight on their travels amidst an overall poor record of  1-1-7  7/17. Only fellow strugglers, Stuttgart and Cologne (6 goals apiece) have scored fewer away goals this season than Hamburg.

Hamburg have failed to hit the back of the net on five occasions so far on the road, and in return, have kept just the one clean sheet so far, so although Leipzig have had their problems, the hosts look in a good position for this one.
