Babelsberg vs Lokomotive Leipzig tips and predictions

Regionalliga Nordost match offers big price against home success

The total expected goals with the analysts is a bigger number than usual so this could be entertaining.

A result is well within Babelsberg's capabilities if they can push the envelope here.

The hosts are coming into the match with 6 wins in their last 9 games. While it will be something of an upset if Babelsberg win it might just end in heartache for Lokomotive Leipzig.

Babelsberg need to get all thoughts of defeat out of their mind. This home team is doing some good stuff and they can be a problem. They have scored three or more goals in 5 of their recent 8 matches and their defensive performances should also be recognised. They have only conceded an average of 1.1 goals in their last 14 games.

Lokomotive Leipzig have actually conceded three or more goals in 4 of their last 18 matches. To have any chance of success, the home side must not hesitate in front of goal.

Babelsberg have won 5 of the last 9 fixtures between these sides.

So what will actually give this home squad confidence to get the job done? Their finishing has been clinical in some of their recent outings. It could be what is required if they expect to deny the visitors.

Most observers believe that both sides can score despite the favouritism for Lokomotive Leipzig. This preview is all about value though and with the odds-against price on BTTS No, that looks like a good way to extract some value for this particular encounter.
