[ClevPicks Prediction]: RB Leipzig vs. Freiburg: probable teams, match stats and LIVE blog!

Can Matthias Ginter (r.) keep top scorer Christopher Nkunku (l.) at bay as Freiburg look to defend second place at in-form RB Leipzig?

Can Matthias Ginter keep Bundesliga top scorer Christopher Nkunku at bay as Freiburg look to defend second place away at in-form RB Leipzig on Wednesday (kick-off: 8.30pm CET)?

Latest

With Nkunku scoring in each of his past three league games and his most recent five outings across competitions, the 2021/22 Bundesliga Player of the Season appears to be back to his best. He now has 11 goals in the Bundesliga for the year, and his two goals in Saturday’s 3-1 victory at Hoffenheim have propelled him to the top of the scoring charts in the league.

It also increased Leipzig’s winning streak to 11 games, during which time they had defeated Celtic, Real Madrid, and Shakhtar Donetsk to advance to the UEFA Champions League round of 16, where they will play Manchester City, and move up from 12th to sixth place.

Timo Werner, who will also miss the FIFA World Cup due to an ankle injury, will not play in these final two matches for Marco Rose and his team, who now have a chance to finish 2020 in the top four. However, Dani Olmo, who scored in his first start back following a knee injury at the weekend, will be optimistic about playing Germany in Group E. He has two games left to demonstrate his fitness and earn a spot on Spain’s final roster.

Ginter, along with left-back Christian Günter, played every minute of the second-most intimidating defense in the Bundesliga. He will very probably be traveling to Qatar the following week. The Black Forest team defeated Cologne 2-0 on Sunday to go back up to second in the standings and keep their eighth clean sheet. They also recorded their third straight win to nil. The goals were scored by Woo-yeong Jeong and Michael Gregoritsch as Christian Streich’s team kept up their best-ever start to a top-flight season. There isn’t much cause to switch things up for a side that is accustomed to playing on Wednesdays and that has started with the same XI in back-to-back Bundesliga games on six occasions this season. The only person in doubt is Daniel-Kofi Kyereh, who missed the weekend due to sickness.

Match Stats

After 13 games, Nkunku is the top scorer in the Bundesliga with 11 league goals.

Nkunku has scored six goals in his previous five outings, finding the back of the net in each one.

Leipzig has won four out of six games in the Bundesliga and is unbeaten in their past 11 games overall (W9, D2).

More clean sheets have been recorded by Mark Flekken (eight) than by any other goalkeeper in the division so far this season.

Freiburg has only suffered two losses this year, to Bayern Munich on Matchday 10 and Borussia Dortmund on Matchday 2.
