Leipzig has lost 3 matches in a row and they have not been able to win a single match in the last 4 matches. So they are definitely struggling. But they will look at this match as a way of getting back into form and this match is going to be essential for them to actually get close to Dortmund. If they can win this match they will be only one point behind Dortmund.
So this is a great chance for them to get 3 points and get back in form. Union Berlin has been really inconsistent and I don't think it is going to be a good idea to trust them right now. But I believe this match can go either way because both teams have been pretty bad recently. I also won't trust Leipzig at this moment, to be honest.
After surviving three consecutive losses, Leipzig won over Union Berlin. In their last three losses, Leipzig dropped many points. They are now in fifth place, behind Dortmund. They lead Frankfurt by five points after their three point victory over Union Berlin. Although Dortmund's performance has improved in their last game, Leipzig will also find it difficult overtaking Dortmund, but they'll still have a chance to finish in the top four if Dortmund loses any of their next games. Leipzig might lose their chance to finish in the top four if they did not defeat Augsburg this weekend. Leipzig doesn't seem to be in good shape right now, their performance has started to become weak.
That will definitely be Leverkusen's next target against Bayern Munich and in fact they know that winning against Bayern Munich is quite difficult. The first meeting against Bayern Munich only ended in a draw and it is possible that in this second meeting the result will still be the same. But it is quite worrying if Bayern Munich wins and at that time Leverkusen will start to be overtaken.
Leverkusen will play against Bayern Munich this weekend, in my opinion. I don't think the second game will end the same way as the first; instead, I think one of these teams will lose and the other will earn three points. Bayern Munich performances in their previous games against weak opponents have not been as strong as they have been since the start of the season, I don't think Bayern Munich will win this match. However, it is possible that Bayern Munich will end Leverkusen's unbeaten record.
