Chemie Leipzig vs Luckenwalde Prediction & Betting Tips (21 February)

Promotion-chasing Chemie Leipzig have been in tremendous form on their own patch so far this season, collecting 21 points from a possible 22 in the Regionalliga Nordost. Luckenwalde, on the other hand, have been struggling to adapt to life at a higher level, with a return of four defeats from seven trips doing little to enhance their survival prospects in a competitive second tier.

Luckenwalde appear destined to secure promotion at the end of the campaign, and the fact that ten of their last 16 games have served up no more than a couple of goals shows how hard they are having to scrap for every point. The numbers have been pretty similar for Chemie Leipzig of late, with 12 of their previous 16 matches at this level delivering under 2.5 goals.

It has been quite an unusual experience to see Chemie Leipzig both score and concede during the same 91 minutes in a Regionalliga Nordost fixture recently, with this happening just three times out of a possible 11. Given that only six of the previous 21 top-flight games involving Luckenwalde have produced goals at both ends, at least one of the two keepers should pitch a shutout here.
