Eilenburg vs Lokomotive Leipzig tips and predictions

Lokomotive Leipzig price doesn't appeal

Some would call this a mismatch. It might not be. Lokomotive Leipzig are a short price but they've occasionally shown that they're not impregnable at the back. The general consensus is that when these sides lock horns they're likely to produce some goals.

The home side has been written off, but don't dismiss them just yet.

Eilenburg's chances might be hanging on a thread in quick-time. But they've posted some good wins. The hosts have registered 10 wins in their last 20 home games while the visitors have been defeated in 5 of their last 11 matches. This doesn't look like the recent record of a side that is such a massive favourite. You might have heard that backing Lokomotive Leipzig to win is the bet of the year but that might just be empty talk.

Eilenburg must be prepared for half-chances against the run of play. If the hosts really get this done it will have a lot to do with their recent goal tab. When they're at home they have been comfortable on the ball. Their recent 19 home matches have them knocking in an average of 2.3 goals per game.

Lokomotive Leipzig have actually conceded three or more goals in 4 of their last 11 matches. Their harsher critics might be more concerned about the form at the other end of the pitch though. The visitors haven't been able to rely on their goal-scorers in some of their recent engagements. They've been goalless in 2 of their last 5 matches.

Note that Lokomotive Leipzig will want to further justify their short price with a clean sheet at full-time. It isn't a strong view compared to other previews but the No BTTS bet is the only option in that market that has any signs of value.

The hosts have made some changes to close the gap between them and their rivals on their own soil. While Lokomotive Leipzig will not be content with anything but the win, the hosts have been impressive on their day.
