RB Leipzig take on the visitors Koln in the round 2 match of German Bundesliga. The match will be played on Saturday, August 13th at Red Bull Arena (Leipzig).
RB Leipzig last season was able to turn the tide in a positive sense. Not only they managed to avoid failure (which would have been a finish outside the top 4 and the loss of a pass to the Champions League), but also managed to take the cup. And this was the first full-fledged trophy in the history of the young but ambitious club. Against this background, now Domenico Tedesco and his wards started a new draw unsuccessfully. And it's not even a merry defeat in the German Super Cup - there, after all, the rival was Bayern. But after that, the "bulls" did not manage to win in the Bundesliga, although the opponent was quite modest - "Stuttgart". They played a draw with them on the road: Nkunku scored an early goal, the Swabians did not slow down with the answer, but in the end everything stopped at 1-1. Of course, the return of Werner should add to the attacking potential of the team.

Koln made an impressive breakthrough last season when the "goats" finished 7th. They returned to European competitions, even if now we are talking about the youngest and least rated of them - the Conference League. The main success factor was, of course, the invitation of a new coach, Steffen Baumgart, who made progress in the first year of work, but also another "2nd youth" of Anthony Modest. An experienced Frenchman scored 2 dozen goals. Now he is being taken to Dortmund. On the other hand, the veteran is already 34. And it was not for nothing that in the summer they not only transferred Dietz to the main team, but also signed, among the mass of other newcomers, Tigges and Adamyan. With the first opponent of the new season, Schalke, it turned out to be dealt with confidently: 3-1. But, firstly, at home, and secondly, defenders and midfielders scored.
In total, 10 matches were played between the clubs, and RB Leipzig won half, with 2 defeats. Last season, the Bulls took 4 points with the Goats. Bookmakers believe that this time RB Leipzig will finally be able to win in the new season. Yes, Koln are not bad, but still, in their field, the bulls can win even with a handicap of “-1 goal scored”.
Prediction for the match: RB Leipzig to win with -1.0 handicap.
