RB Leipzig vs SV Elversberg prediction

RB Leipzig welcome SV Elversberg to the Red Bull Arena looking to steady their form following demanding fixtures on the road. Leipzig sit seventh in the Bundesliga standings on nine points, trailing sixth-placed Elversberg by a single point. While Marco Rose's side faced tough away trips against Bayern Munich and Real Madrid, their league record on home soil has been immaculate, recording three victories from three matches with 14 goals scored and zero conceded.

SV Elversberg enter matchday seven on ten points following a high-scoring 4-3 home win over FC Augsburg. Their away performances have been far more conservative, producing one win, one draw, and one loss with four goals scored and four conceded. They have also failed to score in two of their three league fixtures away from home.

Squad availability tilts the scales further in favour of the hosts. Elversberg enter the fixture with six players sidelined through injury, including C. Campbell, F. Onyeka, L. Seifert, T. Zimmerschied, N. Darvich, and F. Keidel. Leipzig deal with absences of their own in M. Guiu and A. Ouedraogo, but maintain focal points in attack through C. Nkunku, who has four goals, and A. Nusa, who has registered three assists.
