Leipzig take on the visitors Hacken at the Red Bull Arena in the first leg match of UEFA Europa League second qualification round. The match will be played in the eponymous city Leipzig on Thursday, July 26th.
Leipzig have been on their way to becoming one of the strongest football teams in Germany for the last two years which has been a bliss for their fans. Last season the Bulls were able to place 6th in the Bundesliga with 53 points to their credit after 34 matches. Their defensive line looked really strong and scored 57 goals but the defenders were not that good and conceded 53 goals. Last three home matches for Leipzig ended with a 4-1 win over Wolfsburg, a 2-5 loss to Hoffenheim and a 1-4 loss to Bayer.

Hacken is a less known club among the football fans in Europe so it`s hard to tell about their playing style in detail. The Wasps are on the 10th place in Allsvenskan at the moment with 18 points after 14 tours. Their offensive line has been looking really convincing lately scoring 21 goals this season and the defense has been playing quite well too allowing 15 goals. Last three away matches for Hacken ended with a 1-2 loss to Djurgardens, a 1-2 loss to Norrkoping and 3-0 win over Liepaja
Leipzig and Hacken have never faced each other before. The level of the Bulls is way higher than the level of the Wasps at the moment so it`s very unlikely that Hacken would be able to compete with Leipzig on the away side.
Prediction for the match: Leipzig to win with -2.0 handicap.
