2.10Tip and bets
The visitors are far superior to their opponents in class and will certainly prove their superiority in a personal duel. Essen will certainly bet on the championship in the hope of winning a ticket to the Second Bundesliga. It is unlikely that the hosts will be able to fight on two fronts, so we expect a confident victory from the Red Bulls.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-2) on Leipzig for 1.80
Bet on total
The visitors have one of the strongest attacking lines in the Bundesliga, so there is no point in sitting back in defense. It is unlikely that the hosts will be able to hold back the attacking onslaught of the opponent, so we will probably see a productive match.
Our prediction is total over 3.5 goals with odds of 1.90
Bet on corners
Since we don't expect a boring and sluggish game, we'll bet on the fact that the two opponents will make quite a few corner flag serves.
Our prediction is total over 9.5 corners with odds of 1.75
