LiontipsLeipzig vs Werder. Bundesliga match prediction and bets
Command Analysis
Current form
Leipzig failed in the Champions League, where they failed to score a single point in six rounds and lost their chances for the playoffs, but not everything is so hopeless in the Bundesliga, although there is a clear lack of stability. In 15 rounds, the Bulls have scored 27 points and are approaching the upcoming game in fifth place in the standings. A victory today will allow them to catch up with Eintracht, which is in third place, in terms of points. On the eve of the break, Marco Rose team suffered a crushing 1:5 defeat away from Bayern. Among the transfers, we note the move from Wolfsburg to Riedle Baku.
Disqualifications and injuries
Lukeba, Henrichs and Ouedraogo are all out with injuries, while Poulsen is a doubt.

- Leipzig have not conceded more than one goal in 13 of their last 14 home matches in the Bundesliga
Estimated line-up: Gulácsi – Gertruyda, Klosterman, Orban, Raum – Baumgartner, Schlager, Vermehren, Nusa – Openda, Šeshko.
Current form
Werder have played 15 rounds in the Bundesliga at a high level and are approaching the upcoming meeting in a high eighth place in the standings. Moreover, a victory today will allow the Bremen team to catch up with Mainz, which is in fourth place, in terms of points. Ole Werner charges went into the short winter break on an excellent winning streak of three matches. It should be noted that Werder has been most successful in foreign arenas, where they have scored 16 of their total 25 points and suffered only two defeats. In transfer news, we note that Manchester City player Kabore has joined the team on loan.

12.50Tip and bets
Leipzig clearly needed a break, given the recent unstable results. Werder, on the contrary, gained a solid momentum before the break and it is far from certain that they will be able to demonstrate a bright game again. Moreover, key forward Ducksch may not play today, without whom the attack will noticeably suffer. We think that the Bulls are capable of taking three points on their home field today.
Our prediction is a Leipzig victory with odds of 1.84
Bet on total
It is worth noting that in the four previous head-to-head matches the opponents exchanged goals. Leipzig has noticeably improved in attack during the season, matches involving bulls often turn out to be productive.

Bet on corners
On their home field, Leipzig will clearly try to play first number and will dictate their terms. We expect the Bulls to confidently win on corners.
Prediction - Leipzig win on corners with a handicap of (-1.5) with odds of 1.87
