Prediction

  • Kiel, German champions way back in 1912, have conceded at least two goals in every game this season, apart from their first-ever Bundesliga win against fellow strugglers Heidenheim.
  • After 19 games unbeaten, Leipzig have slipped nine points behind leaders Bayern following a poor run of four games without a league win.
  • Leipzig bounced back to winning ways in DFB Pokal action in midweek, while struggling Kiel have all week to rest and work on a game plan.
  • Buoyed by their cup success, Leipzig can claim the three points with ease in Northern Germany.
