Chemie Leipzig vs Cottbus prediction 27.03.2024

• Competition: Regionalliga Nordost
• Date: Wednesday, 27th March 2024
• Kickoff: 18:00 UTC / 19:00 CET
• Venue: Alfred-Kunze-Sportpark (Leipzig)

Chemie Leipzig, who have never played in a league above their current Regionalliga Nordost level, lack a rich history. The 2023/24 season marks their fifth consecutive year at this rank, during which they’ve consistently delivered solid performances. This year is no exception, with Chemie Leipzig currently 12th in the league and 14 points clear of the relegation zone. Despite a good season overall under coach Miroslav Jagatic, the team recently experienced a slump with three consecutive losses. However, they managed to break this losing streak over the weekend with a resounding 3-0 victory against Hertha II.

The golden years of Cottbus were from 1997 to 2014 when they consistently oscillated between the Bundesliga and 2. Bundesliga. Although currently, they are just a Regionalliga team, they aspire to make a comeback to the third tier of German football. At present, Cottbus trail the league leader, Greifswald, by four points. The team, under the guidance of Claus-Dieter Wollitz, has had an impressive streak of seven victories in their last eight matches. In their most recent match, they secured a 1-0 win against Meuselwitz on their turf.

Chemie Leipzig vs Cottbus pick: Cottbus to win

Chemie Leipzig defeated Hertha II, but this follows a poor performance of scoring just a single goal in three games. Conversely, Cottbus has demonstrated strong defense, not allowing any goals in their last four games. Thus, Cottbus appears to have a higher likelihood of winning this match.
