Leipzig, like the upcoming rival, preaches an attacking game style without burdening itself with defensive actions. The team plays in the highest division for only 4th time in its history, and this strategy has already allowed winning both bronze and silver medals, and now the Bulls are leading after 4 rounds. They won 3 of them and tied with the champion, Bayern. The goal difference is 10-3. Leipzig scores over 3 goals averaged per match. And it played with Over 2.5 goals scored in 12 of the last 15 matches.
Benfica has enough strong offensive players, and each of them can vault 2 or 3 defenders of any opponent and score a goal. Leipzig also has qualified forwards - Poulsen scored 15 goals in the last championship, Werner 16. And he scored 5 goals in this one. Forsberg and Sabitzer also may score. In the last German championship, they scored 4 goals each and both have already scored in the current one. Putting it all together, the option with Over 2.5 goals scored looks like one of the most reliable bets to win.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 goals scored
