We have a strong and a brave card tip for Leipzig’s match
It is surprising to see the odds that bookmakers are offering in this card market, and we would like to take advantage of that.
As the Bundesliga enters its final stretch, the key questions are beginning to be decided. Leverkusen are the champions, Bayern and Stuttgart are likely to qualify for the Champions League, while in the lower division there are still four or five teams fighting to avoid relegation and play-out. But what could be really interesting, apart from the teams below, is the fight for 4th place, which currently has 2 teams.
Leipzig and Dortmund are going head-to-head, and Gulácsi’s side have a big opportunity in this round, as the Champions League semi-finalists host unbeaten Leverkusen. What the teams play will be of great importance, as next weekend’s Lepizig-Dortmund derby will give the home side a significant advantage if Bayer continue their excellent run and take a point from Terzic.
So Marco Rose’s men can make no mistake against the newcomers, Heidenheim, who have put in a magnificent performance. The side from the city formerly better known for its fencing will finish in midfield, with their 10th position not even threatened by the fact that 16th place in the division is only 8 points away. The last time they left the Voith-Arena without a point was Bayern Munich.
Despite being a newcomer, Heidenheim are the most sportsmanlike team in the league this season, having picked up only 46 yellow cards in 29 matches and 1 red card.
So it will not be easy for Leipzig, so a tough match is expected. The match will be refereed by Tobias Welz, who has only had 3 league games this season, although he has given out 20 cards, which leads the league statistics.
As we are expecting a close, tough match, we have made 2 picks, and we prefer the Leipzig side. If Welz shows his form, the visitors will be dealt some cards. And this season’s average is not bad for Red Bull, as they average 2.21 cards per 90 minutes on the road.
Free picks for Heidenheim-Leipzig
As well as the minimum 2 Leipzig cards, we’ll also play x2 on the cards, as we’re surprised that the bookies are expecting the newcomer to get more cautions. Heidenheim managed a magnificent win over Bayern with just 9 fouls and 1 yellow, and their average is lower than their rivals both in the Bundesliga as a whole and in home vs away. In Leipzig, the return leg ended 2-2, which would make it a win for our strongest tip.
