RB Leipzig vs Aston Villa Preview

RB Leipzig are one of the most interesting Bundesliga clubs as in their 3 seasons in the top division they have finished 2nd, 6th and 3rd. They are one of the few clubs who have circumvented the 50+1 rule and have a philosophy of signing and nurturing young talent which they have continued by signing Lookman, Nkunku, Hannes Wolf and Ampadu on loan among other signings most of whom are 21 or younger.

They also have a new manager in Nagelsmann who was once courted by Bayern Munich but decided to join Leipzig to continue his development. The 32 year old is one of the youngest managers in the world and also tactically very flexible as seen in his time at Hoffenheim which along with a reputation of developing young talent should see him do well at Leipzig.

Aston Villa finished 5th under Dean Smith who took over the club after a poor start that saw the team get 15pts from 12 games. They then defeated Derby in the playoff final to make it into the top division. 148 mil euros have been spent since to build a squad that depended on loan signings to make it to Premier League. Incoming players include Wesley, Mings, Douglas Luiz, Matt Targett and Heaton among the 12 new players as the club look to stay up.

 

RB Leipzig vs Aston Villa Betting Tips

RB Leipzig recovered from a 1-4 defeat to FC Zurich to defeat Galatasaray 3-2 and Rennes 2-0. Aston Villa, on the other hand, have had a smooth preseason so far winning all their games and scoring a handy amount of goals in the process.

However, we expect Leipzig to take a narrow victory in this matchup and predict a 2-1 win with goals for both teams.
