Borussia Mönchengladbach
RB Leipzig to win

Leipzig's three wins and 10 goals across their final five league games support the home result at Red Bull Arena.
RB Leipzig are priced as clear favourites for this Bundesliga opener, and I think the home win is the right starting point. Their final five league matches produced three wins and plenty of goals, although Borussia Mönchengladbach also finished with a strong 4-0 result. My prediction is Leipzig to win 3-1, with both teams contributing. Here's why the goals angles stand out too.
RB Leipzig are the obvious 1X2 lean here, but this is not a case for expecting a quiet, one-sided afternoon. Their final five Bundesliga matches brought three wins, with 10 goals scored in total. The strongest part of that run was the attacking output: they beat St. Pauli 2-1, Union Berlin 3-1 and Eintracht Frankfurt 3-1. That gives me enough to side with Leipzig at Red Bull Arena, and the 1.57 maximum price reflects that the market sees a meaningful gap between the teams.
Still, Gladbach bring enough recent substance to make the home win less than automatic. They lost only once in their final five league outings, taking seven points from the other four, and their 4-0 win over Hoffenheim was a particularly emphatic finish. They also scored in four of those five matches. Leipzig, meanwhile, conceded four goals in defeats to Freiburg and Bayer Leverkusen, so backing them does not require pretending their defending was flawless.
For me, that combination points towards a Leipzig win with Gladbach getting on the scoresheet rather than a controlled shutout. Both teams to score is priced at 1.53, while over 2.5 goals is 1.47, and those prices fit the recent scorelines supplied for both sides. I would keep the main call simple: Leipzig have the stronger win case at home, but a 3-1 type of result feels more plausible than a clean cruise.
RB Leipzig to make their home advantage count in a match that looks set to produce goals at both ends.
