🇩🇪 RB Leipzig vs Hamburg 🇩🇪 — Prediction
Bundesliga · Matchday 3 · Sun, 13 Sept 2026, 15:30 CEST · Red Bull Arena, Leipzig
Why we called it
Demichelis's Leipzig followed a 3-0 win over Gladbach with a 3-1 defeat at Werder Bremen (Ridle Baku scoring from a Maksimovic cross) and play their Champions League opener at Como on Thursday, while Baumgartner, Reitz, Rômulo and Ouédraogo are out and Lukeba and Gruda are doubts, so Nkunku and Nusa carry the attack. Polzin's Hamburg arrive buoyant after a 4-0 thrashing of Mainz in which Rayan Philippe scored twice and Sambi Lokonga and Dompé also netted; Daka leads the line behind Fábio Vieira, with Muheim and Røssing-Lelesiit out and Bornauw doubtful. Leipzig have won six of the last eight meetings and remain a clear but not overwhelming favourite at home given their injuries and midweek travel, so a one-goal 2-1 win is the call.
