Wiesbaden vs Leipzig Head-to-Head and Key Numbers
- This will be the third meeting between the two sides. Wehen Wiesbaden and Leipzig won the respective home games 2-1 and 1-0 in the 2013-14 3. Bundesliga season.
- Leipzig have won six of their seven games in all competitions this season and are currently on a five-game winning streak.
- Wehen have been winless in their last four games, losing three games in this sequence.
- Leipzig's victory over Monchengladbach halted their six-match streak of producing three or more goals in each of the last six games.
- Five of Wehen's last six games have produced at least nine corner kicks.
Wiesbaden vs Leipzig Prediction
The two sides are clashing for the first time in over nine years. Their last encounter was in the 3. Bundesliga in 2014. Leipzig are defending champions of the DFB Pokal. They thrashed Bayern Munich in the Super Cup at the start of the season and kickstarted their UEFA Champions League campaign with a win last week. These feats highlight the massive gains made by Leipzig in the last decade.
Die Roten Bullen are in a strong run of form and will begin their quest for title defense on Wednesday. Wehen, by contrast, are currently undergoing a poor sequence of results, having started the season with a three-game unbeaten run.
RB Leipzig are the heavy favorites and will be expected to scale through to the next round. We are backing Marco Rose's side to claim a comfortable win in addition to a clean sheet.
Prediction: Wehen Wiesbaden 0-3 RB Leipzig
