RB Leipzig vs Hacken Prediction & Betting tips

On Thursday, the first club in the Bundesliga will play its first competitive game of the new season with RB Leipzig. In the second round of qualifying for the Europa League, the Red Bulls have to deal with the Swedish club BK Häcken and enjoy in the first leg home. Germany against Sweden – there was something. At the World Cup in Russia, there was the only victory for the DFB team at its historic end in the preliminary round against the Scandinavians. Of course, there is no real connection to the game at the club level, but this point will certainly be addressed here and there. In the match between RB Leipzig and Häcken, according to the odds, the Red Bulls are a big favorite.

RB Leipzig:

To date, RB Leipzig has 13 accesses with 15 departures. But really worth mentioning are only a few. The most prominent personality is undoubtedly Naby Keita, who moved to Anfield for Liverpool FC for 60 million. Bernardo also left RB Leipzig for England and hired Brighton & Hove Albion for a fee of ten million. New additions include Nordi Mukiele (for 16 million from Montpellier), Matheus Cunha (for 15 million from FC Sion) and Marcelo Saracchi (for twelve million from River Plate), names that may be mentioned. After many disappointing results in the preseason with sixth place in the final bill, the paths of ex-coach Ralph Hasenhüttl and RB Leipzig parted ways. The helm was taken over by Ralf Rangnick, before Julian Nagelsmann will move from Hoffenheim to RB Leipzig for the upcoming season.

Rangnick integrates the qualification for the Europa League in preparation for the new season. RB Leipzig could reach a total of seven competitive games by starting early in the second round of the qualifying rounds before the start of the Bundesliga – six in qualifying, one in the DFB Cup. Since one assumes at RB Leipzig that the club at least reaches the playoffs for the Europa League, they held back so far with friendly matches. Last Friday, RB Leipzig won 7-0 for the amateurs of FC Grimma, and on Tuesday there were only 2-2 draws against ZFC Meuselwitz in a game over three times 30 minutes. In the last season, RB Leipzig made it as a freshman directly into the quarter-finals of the Europa League, but failed there despite a 1-0 victory in the first leg at home and despite an early lead in the second leg against Olympique Marseille. After the 1-0 in France after not even two minutes RB Leipzig lost the second leg in Marseille with 2: 5.

Hacken:

The BK Häcken is currently in the middle of league operation. The season 2018 in the Swedish Allsvenskan is even around half, although not all teams have completed their 15th of 30 games. This includes hacking. With five wins, three draws and six defeats at 21:15 goals Häcken is currently on a rather disappointing tenth place in the Swedish Allsvenskan. Especially on a foreign site, the performances leave much to be desired. Of eight games on the opponent’s place, Häcken has lost six! There was only one win and another draw. This makes Häcken the third weakest away team in the highest Swedish league. At the weekend Häcken lost to Djurgarden 1: 2 and thus conceded the third competitive defeat with 1: 2 in a row. With this result Häcken also lost the return leg in the first round of qualifying for the Europa League at home against FK Liepaja from Latvia. After the 3-0 win in the first leg Häcken could afford this bankruptcy, however.

The fact that Häcken is allowed to get involved in qualifying for the Europa League was also a bit happy in retrospect. On the last day of the preseason, Häcken had to play at Malmö, who has been a fixture for several matches. Häcken was able to win 2-1 away, adding to his only fourth defeat of the season. Häcken also managed to get a ticket for Europe as fourth in the final bill, because in the national cup final with Malmö and Djurgarden the first and the third faced each other. Otherwise brings the fourth place in the Allsvenskan namely nothing.
