- Ransford Koenigsdoerffer has scored three goals in Hamburger SV’s last five games.

Betting Insights
- Leipzig are a slight favorite to win at 2.16 with HSV at 3.0 and the draw 3.65.
- Backing over 2.5 goals here looks a good play at 1.55 given Leipzig average 1.55 goals away and HSV have conceded only 13 - 1.18 per game - at home this Bundesliga campaign.
- Hence, the Red Bulls are worth a small wager here to edge out a close game, but with Hamburg at 3.0, they could pull an upset by playing smart football in their own half.
Prediction
- That makes this a chess match on Sunday in which the transition phases and full-back battles could be key to deciding the game.
- Leipzig can win the ball in dangerous areas by pressing and can hit with pace on the break, so the hosts need to keep the game in the middle of the field.
