RB Leipzig vs SV Elversberg prediction

THE FORECAST

Leipzig face a significant rotation risk having played Champions League just three days ago and with a DFB Pokal match three days after this, and Demichelis has already announced rotation following the defeat against Madrid, with a lengthy injury list further limiting his options. Elversberg arrive fresher with a full seven days of rest, a settled lineup under Wagner, and are actually sitting one point ahead of Leipzig in the table, making this a tighter contest than the home advantage alone would suggest. Nevertheless, Leipzig's superior squad depth and home record should still give them the edge, supported by both teams' attacking output pointing toward a goal-laden game in cool but playable conditions.
