LEV vs LEP Dream11 Prediction: RB Leipzig will be looking to pick up from where they left off on their travels when they take on Bayer Leverkusen on Saturday afternoon. Bayer Leverkusen were left frustrated in their efforts to earn the three points in their opening game of the season in their first Bundesliga contest since the departure of Kai Havertz. They were unable to find the back of the net in a goalless draw with Wolfsburg and they now face a tough test as they welcome RB Leipzig to the BayArena. The visitors earned a solid success last week as they got their season off to a good start with a 3-1 win over Mainz 05 and having ended the last campaign with five successive away victories, they will be confident of further success here. Leverkusen may take some time to adapt without Havertz who played such a key role for them and with that in mind, Leipzig can make it back-to-back wins to start the campaign.
