Ole Werner's side failed to secure a victory in their last match, ending in a goalless draw against Borussia Monchengladbach away from home. This was only the fourth time Leipzig did not win in the current Bundesliga season (2 draws, 2 losses). Additionally, the team kept a clean sheet in 3 of their last 5 league matches. They currently sit second in the table with 26 points.
- The team has not lost in 9 of their last 10 home Bundesliga matches (7 wins, 2 draws).
- The club has scored at least twice in seven of their previous home league encounters.
- Leipzig has not conceded more than one goal in 6 of their last 7 home Bundesliga games.

They are currently in seventh place with 21 points.

Match Prediction: Leipzig vs. Eintracht
In this matchup, I expect a very high-scoring game as both teams favor attacking football and score frequently. Leipzig has scored in 17 consecutive home Bundesliga matches, and in 14 of those, they have netted at least twice. However, during the same period, they have only kept four clean sheets, conceding a total of 25 goals.
Eintracht, even away from home, prefers to play aggressively: they have scored in their last eight away league games. Moreover, in four of those matches, they have scored at least three goals. At the same time, their defense has been suspect, conceding 14 goals in six away Bundesliga matches this season.
My prediction: Total over 3.5 goals
