Both teams to scoreYes (70%)
RB Leipzig host SV Elversberg at the Red Bull Arena in Bundesliga Regular Season Round 7, with the visitors arriving as genuine challengers despite their lower league position. Elversberg sit sixth on 10 points, one clear of Leipzig in seventh with 9, making this a direct battle between two sides fighting for consistency in the early season. The hosts are favoured by the market but cannot afford complacency against an opponent who has shown real attacking threat.
Team form
RB Leipzig
Leipzig's recent record is mixed at best. They dismantled Hamburger SV 5-0 at home and beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 3-0, but sandwiched between those wins were defeats: 1-3 away to Werder Bremen and most recently 0-2 at Bayer Leverkusen. Over their last five matches they have scored 15 goals but conceded 5, suggesting their defence remains vulnerable. Their season average of 2.67 goals scored per game is solid, though the 1.83 conceded indicates they leak chances. In their last outing they managed only 49% possession and 3 shots on goal against Leverkusen—a concerning display of control.
SV Elversberg
Elversberg have been the more consistent performers. They won three of their last five matches, including a stunning 4-3 victory at Borussia Mönchengladbach and a 3-2 win over Bayer Leverkusen at home. Their record reads: won, won, won, won, lost. They have scored 12 goals in five games (2.4 per game) and conceded 8 (1.6 per game). Most striking is their attacking output in their most recent fixture: 10 shots on goal and an xG of 2.31 against Mönchengladbach, showing they create genuine opportunities. Their 49% possession in that match mirrors Leipzig's recent struggles for dominance, yet they converted their chances far more ruthlessly.
Head-to-head
The teams last met in 2014, when Leipzig won 2-0 at home. Before that, Elversberg claimed a 1-0 victory on their own ground in 2013. The fixture has been dormant for over a decade, so recent form carries far more weight than historical precedent. Both sides have evolved considerably since those meetings.
Key factors
Leipzig's attacking threat is undeniable—they average 2.67 goals per game—but their defensive frailty is the real concern. Elversberg's recent form suggests they have the cutting edge to punish lapses. The visitors' ability to create multiple chances (evidenced by their 10-shot display last time out) against a Leipzig side that has conceded in four of their last five matches presents a genuine scoring opportunity. Leipzig's midfield will need to control possession and limit Elversberg's transitions. The Red Bull Arena advantage is real, but it is not a guarantee against a side performing at this level.
Prediction
Leipzig are clear favourites and should prevail, but this will not be a routine home victory. The bookmakers price over 2.5 goals at 1.26, reflecting the likelihood of an open, attacking game. Both teams have shown they can score; Leipzig's attacking quality and home advantage should prove decisive, yet Elversberg's recent form and their proven ability to find the net mean the hosts cannot afford defensive lapses. The expected balance favours Leipzig's attack, but Elversberg will create problems.
Back Leipzig to win. They have the firepower and home advantage to overcome a stubborn visitor, but expect Elversberg to test them thoroughly. A fairly open contest with goals at both ends is likely. For the betting community, Leipzig's win combined with both teams scoring offers value given their recent defensive vulnerabilities and Elversberg's attacking prowess.
