RB Leipzig - Darmstadt 98 predictions

With the 1.17 odds on a home win, there’s little doubt that RB Leipzig will win the match on Saturday. Darmstadt 98 winning would be one of the biggest upsets of the season, but we wouldn’t hold our breaths for that to happen.

It’s hard to believe even the most optimistic Darmstadt 98 fans are expecting them to triumph at Leipzig this Saturday. It’s a completely one-sided matchup, and the hosts should have no problems steamrolling their opponents.

Team from Leipzig are coming off of a relatively predictable victory at Bochum, which they locked with a convincing 1:4 goal difference. However, it’s worth noting that the two teams were tied for more than half the match and the victory came on the back of several consecutive goals in the latter stages of the game.

Darmstadt 98 are coming on the back of a 0:6 defeat at home, which was painful but hardly unexpected. Not many Bundesliga betting predictions expected them to be able to stand up to Augsburg, and they fell behind fairly early.

The Red Bulls have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

With 9 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Darmstadt 98’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two sides clash this season. The first game went Leipzig’s way, albeit with a difference of only one goal. Still, such a record makes it easy to see why they’re the favourites this time around.

Matthias Bader, Fabian Schnellhardt, Marvin Mehlem, Clemens Riedel, Fabian Nürnberger, Fraser Hornby have all been forced to stay out of this match due to various injuries. That’s one more disadvantage that the visitors will have to deal with on top of being the less likely team to win.

Going for a straight Result bet would severely limit your profits, so our advice is to throw in a -1.5 Asian Handicap for the favourites. This will still keep the odds in your favour at 1, but should do wonders for potential profitability.
