MATCH PREDICTION
Xabi Alonso’s Bayer Leverkusen have still not lost a domestic game since the start of last season. They continued their unbeaten start to the campaign, which has included winning the DFL-Supercup on penalties against Stuttgart as well as winning on the opening day against Borussia Monchengladbach with late strikes in both matches, by edging past Carl Zeiss Jena by a goal to nil in the first round of the DFB-Pokal in midweek. They now take on an RB Leipzig side that have had an intriguing summer transfer window that has kept them strong, despite the sale of Dani Olmo to Barcelona. They began their Bundesliga season with a slender 1-0 defeat of Bochum last weekend. Despite there being reason to be concerned about Leverkusen and the fact Leipzig look strong, you simply always have to back Bayer Leverkusen – especially at BayArena.
