Tip: RB Leipzig To Win Either Half @ 1.22

RB Leipzig have prevailed in at least one half in four of their last five matches. Barring their recent loss to Union Berlin, they have been solid in 18 consecutive matches. They will also enjoy the advantage of a large fan presence as they play at home. RB Leipzig to win either half is available on the Paripesa sportsbook at 1.22 odds.

Conclusion

Rangers travel to RB Leipzig knowing they performed well against the last German team they encountered. RB Leipzig have the home advantage, and have in-form forwards with an abundance of talent at their disposal. An exciting game is on the cards, as Rangers attempt to halt the advance of an RB Leipzig team spearheaded by Christopher Nkunku.
