Lokomotive Leipzig vs Chemie Leipzig tips and predictions

Excitement expected in Regionalliga Nordost

With a handful of points between them, it's 13th placed Lokomotive Leipzig welcoming ninth placed Chemie Leipzig in this Regionalliga Nordost clash as the visitors look to add to the 6 points between the sides.

It's unlikely to be one-sided but Chemie Leipzig are predicted to get the job done here.

The hosts look to put some of their latest tepid outings out of sight. At home Lokomotive Leipzig's forwards haven't been at their best. They've scored one or less goals in 5 of their last 6 games on their own turf. Even if they face a depleted side those numbers make this an intriguing match-up. Lokomotive Leipzig have to show no hesitation clearing their lines. They need to tighten things up. Conceding an average of 1.5 goals across their latest 17 games on their own turf has given them plenty to think about.

In a clash that has divided opinions, there is plenty of sense in supporting the visitors. Chemie Leipzig have got the win in 4 of their last 7 matches. Notably they've scored two or more goals in 5 of their last 7 games and they'll want to contribute more goals to that average here.

On top of the 1X2 there's also a decent separate bet in the BTTS No market.

The hosts are coming off a 4-3 defeat last week against Cottbus.
