Koln vs RB Leipzig Prediction: Can RB Leipzig continue their winning streak and potentially occupy first place?

RB Leipzig are just two points below Bayern Munich in the first place and one point behind Union Berlin in second place. A win for Leipzig can potentially move Die Roten Bullen to the summit of the Bundesliga, and this chance may be too good to pass on. The home side, however, will not be pushovers as they seem to be rejuvenated after the break. Both teams have not lost a match after the break

Leipzig's attacking potential and flair makes them the favorite, but with the match away from home, it may be tricky. However, goals are to be expected in the match.

The unavailability of Mark Uth, Dimitrios Limniosm, Sebastian Andersson, and Florian Dietz will greatly limit the attacking prowess of the home side. Also, two of the main stay in defence (Kilian Luca and Pedersen) will not be available. It is to be seen if FC Koln can cope with the many absentees. At home, FC Koln have won 50% of the matches played scoring 18 in the process and conceding 10. FC Koln have a decent home record but the many absentees may be difficult to replace. 

With Leipzig on six games without a loss, the team will be brimming with confidence and will want to continue the push for Champion League football next season and potentially for the Bundesliga title. Leipzig is also without the influential Nkunku, Gulacsi, and Olmo but should still have enough to overcome FC Koln.

A worry for Leipzig will be their away form. Away from home, Leipzig have won 33%, lost 33%, and drew 33% of the matches played in the Bundesliga. They have won ten of the eighteen matches played this season.

Both of these teams seem to be enjoying their football after the break. Both have taken points off the league leaders and have not lost a match after the break However, FC Koln will have most of the starting eleven unavailable and this may affect the team chemistry. RB Leipzig is also with two of their influential player but will have more team cohesion. Hence we expect the score to be 1-2 or 1-3 in favour of RB Leipzig. We also expect more corners as both team will be playing attacking football.
