Leipzig/Draw Double Chance
For the opening leg of this bet builder, a solid choice would be the Leipzig/Draw Double Chance. Although Liverpool are a formidable side with a strong European pedigree, Leipzig’s home form and recent performances suggest they could make things difficult for the Merseyside team. Leipzig’s Bundesliga campaign has been on the up, with back-to-back victories and a string of clean sheets. This resurgence can be attributed to their attacking trio, led by Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko, with the creative playmaking of Xavi Simons just behind them. This combination has made them a potent threat going forward, while defensively, Leipzig have been impressive, managing to hold their opponents at bay in their last two domestic fixtures.
Liverpool may be undefeated in their away fixtures this season, but Leipzig’s home advantage at the Red Bull Arena is not to be overlooked. Even when facing European heavyweights, Leipzig have often managed to rise to the occasion, as seen in narrow losses to Juventus and Atletico Madrid. Despite these losses, they displayed a level of competitiveness that could trouble even the best teams. Their ability to control possession, averaging nearly 57% across their league games, indicates that they won’t simply sit back and allow Liverpool to dictate the tempo.
Additionally, Liverpool could be dealing with a few key injuries, including Diogo Jota and Alisson Becker, which might expose some vulnerabilities in their squad. Caoimhin Kelleher may be called upon to fill in for Alisson, giving Leipzig’s attackers more reason to test the inexperienced goalkeeper. With the potential for Trent Alexander-Arnold to miss the game due to fitness concerns, Liverpool’s defence might not be at its strongest.
Overall, Leipzig’s strength at home, combined with Liverpool’s potential defensive frailties, makes the Double Chance bet a sensible option. Leipzig will look to make the most of their home support and could very well frustrate a Liverpool side that might struggle to dominate as they have in recent matches.

Over 4.5 Leipzig Team Corners
A smart addition to this bet builder would be backing Leipzig to earn over 4.5 corners during the match. Leipzig are a team that favour attacking from wide areas, frequently looking to deliver crosses into the box, especially towards players like Openda and Sesko, who pose a significant aerial threat. Their style of play has resulted in an average of 4.4 corners per match in the Bundesliga, and this number could very well increase against Liverpool due to the pressing style employed by Jürgen Klopp’s side.
With Liverpool expected to dominate possession for large portions of the game, Leipzig may find their best opportunities on the counter-attack, an area in which they have excelled this season. Their quick transitions from defence to attack will likely force Liverpool’s backline to deal with crosses and shots from wide positions, leading to more corners. On the flanks, the likes of Antonio Nusa and Geertruida will be looking to exploit Liverpool’s vulnerability in the full-back areas, especially if Alexander-Arnold is absent, as he is often key to both their defensive and offensive transitions.
Given Liverpool’s tendency to allow space on the wings, particularly when their full-backs push forward, Leipzig should have plenty of opportunities to win corners from deflected crosses or blocked shots. The Reds’ aggressive pressing and high defensive line often leave gaps that Leipzig’s wingers can exploit, making this bet on corners a logical and likely outcome of the match’s tactical dynamics.
Lois Openda to Score Anytime
Another strong option for this bet builder is selecting Lois Openda to score at any time during the match. The striker has been in fine form for Leipzig this season, with five goals to his name in the Bundesliga and a further two assists. His impact extends beyond the club level, as he also found the net during the recent international break in Belgium’s clash with France. Openda’s goal-scoring instinct is underlined by his remarkable 45 shots in just 14 matches across all competitions this season, which makes him a constant threat to any defence.
Liverpool’s backline, particularly with injuries affecting key players like Alisson and potentially Alexander-Arnold, could find themselves under significant pressure. Openda’s movement and ability to get into dangerous positions will likely trouble Liverpool’s centre-backs, and with the possibility of Kelleher stepping in as goalkeeper, the striker will be eager to take advantage of any defensive lapses or goalkeeper errors. His pace and physicality make him a prime candidate to find the back of the net at least once during this encounter.
Ibrahima Konate to be Shown a Card
Backing Ibrahima Konate to receive a booking is another sensible choice for this bet. The Liverpool centre-back has developed a habit of collecting yellow cards in recent matches, having been booked in six of his last eight appearances for both club and country. He recently picked up cautions against Chelsea and during France’s international fixtures, demonstrating a pattern of discipline issues that could surface again in this match.
With Leipzig’s attacking talent, especially in the form of Openda, Sesko, and Simons, Konate is likely to be put under immense pressure. His need to intervene with late tackles or shirt pulls, particularly when dealing with the pace and agility of Leipzig’s forwards, increases the chances of him being shown a card. Konate’s tendency to dive into challenges could be his downfall, especially when Leipzig are pushing forward in search of a goal.
