RB Leipzig 4/6 to beat Hertha Berlin and over 1.5 goals for Saturday’s Bundesliga battle

Competition: Bundesliga

Market: RB Leipzig win and over 1.5 goals

Odds: 4/6 @ 888sport

Looking to continue on what has been a very impressive start to the 2020/2021 campaign, RB Leipzig will host Hertha Berlin on Saturday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, continuing on what has been a stunning start to the New Year across all formats, RB Leipzig already find themselves battling it out at the top of the table. In their opening four Bundesliga contests so far this season, they have recorded three wins against a single draw, scoring 10 and conceding just two in return. Along with collecting a points tally of 10 and holding the best defensive record in the division, Leipzig are one of just two sides who are yet to taste domestic defeat so far this season. As for their recent run of results, securing a 2-0 win against Istanbul Basaksehir on Champions League duties in midweek, Leipzig have won their last three matchups across all competitions, recording a clean sheet in each of those victories.

As for the visitors, enduring what has been a worrying run of form either side of the international break, Hertha Berlin are also showing a string of issues at the back. In their opening four Bundesliga matchups this season, they have recorded just a single win against three defeats, scoring eight and conceding 10 in return. Collecting just a points tally of three and sat just a single spot above the relegation play-off position, it should also be noted that no side outside the drop zone holds a worse defensive record that Hertha heading into Saturday’s showdown. As for their recent run of results, this weekend’s guests have lost their last three Bundesliga contests on the bounce, conceding over 1.5 goals in each of those three consecutive defeats. Given the huge gulf in class between the two sides, we’re backing a routine home victory.
