Leipzig have become one of the best German the teams since they had been founded in 2009. In their first ever Bundesliga season Die Bullen won the silver in the league which was a shock to the football community. Last season the team struggled though and placed only 6th in the Bundesliga but the actual goals for them were much bigger. In their last three matches Leipzig beat Viktoria Koln with a 3-1 score, drew against Universitatea Craiova with a 1-1 score and beat the same Universitatea Craiova with a 3-1 score.
Zorya Luhansk and Leipzig have never faced each other before. Die Bullen look a lot more stronger than the Ukrainians on paper but the hosting side should expect to get a relatively good result in front of their home crowd.
Prediction for the match: Zorya Luhansk to win with +1.0 handicap.
