RB Leipzig vs Hertha BSC: Preview, Prediction & Betting Tips.

This betting preview contains recent form, possible lineups, injury news, match predictions and betting tips for RB Leipzig vs Hertha BSC.

Fixture: RB Leipzig vs Hertha BSC League: Bundesliga Venue: Red Bull Arena Date: Saturday, December 17 Kick-off: 14:30 GMT

Betting Preview:

RB Leipzig lost their first match in the top flight of German football last weekend against bottom place Ingolstadt. The loss ended an eight match win streak by the newly promoted side and also resulted in them losing the top spot to Bayern. It's second versus third this weekend as Leipzig prepare to bounce back at home to Hertha Berlin. The hosts have been dominant at home this season scoring an average of 2.00 goals per game and conceding an average of 0.83. Visitors Hertha Berlin also saw their - albeit smaller - unbeaten run ended last week in a 0-1 home defeat to Bremen. 67% of their points have been earned at home this season, so it'll require a strong performance to take points away from the Red Bull Arena.

Match Prediction:

RB Leipzig have managed to score in all of their home matches this season and still remain unbeaten at the Red Bull Arena. Hertha Berlin finding the net isn't out of the question with Leipzig conceding at least one goal in each of their last five home matches. Those of you who like a shrewd bet will no doubt fancy a punt on Hertha Berlin this weekend. Despite the statistics suggesting another home win for Leipzig, there's no doubt their loss last weekend could result in a dip in form.

Possible Lineups:

RB Leipzig: Gulacsi; Schmitz, Ilsanker, Orban, Halstenberg; Demme, Keita, Forsberg, Sabitzer; Poulsen, Werner Hertha BSC: Jarstein; Plattenhardt, Stark, Langkamp, Pekarik; Skjelbred, Lustenberger; Kalou, Stocker, Weiser; Ibisevic
