RB Leipzig Form

The efforts of RB Leipzig were enough only for a 2:2 draw when performing as a host against Bayern Munich in a Bundesliga match on September 30. Up to the time of their latest game, they were on a streak of six straight victories and are still unbeaten in seven outings. In RB Leipzig’s last 10 encounters, being the host or playing away was not really a factor that affected the outcome. The teams playing on home ground recorded 5 triumphs and the guests recorded 4. Only 1 of the last 10 meetings for the team ended in a draw. Out of the last five RB Leipzig clashes, four yielded over 2.5 goals and three witnessed goals at both ends. Within this timeframe they were able to keep two clean sheets, and at least one goal was scored in all of the team’s matches. Based on statistics, their most recent 5 matches ended with an average of 3.40 goals.
