What's up with this club Leipzig?  I haven't heard anything about them before and now they rule the Bundesliga?  Is this another Cinderella story or does the club have new owners and spent millions in the transfer market?  In all honestly it is good for the league that some other club is  breaking the dominance of BVB and Bayern.

It is not really a joke and it is very normal if you see it in many aspect. Last season I got alot of juicy odds as well for leicester. The bookies is still not confident with leicester so the odds is totally much higher than most people expected. Enjoy while it last because thing like this doesnt really last forever

I've been in good betting form tonight i knew Leipzig were doing really well this season. I just did a bit of research into their situation & it seems they're not well liked in Germany -


.............................

No matter how hard they try, and regardless of what they achieve this season and beyond, Bundesliga new boys RB Leipzig will struggle to ever be loved beyond their Saxony base.

In a recent poll carried out by the Braunschweig Technical University, the club bankrolled by the Red Bull energy drink conglomerate were deemed the most unlikable professional outfit in Germany, finishing 36th out of 36.

Already this term, their first ever in the top flight, opposition supporters have wasted little time in reminding them of their unpopularity. Hamburg fans staged a “No to RB” protest march before the teams met in September, while the game with Cologne had to kick off 15 minutes late after opposition supporters blocked the arrival of RB Leipzig’s team coach. Past episodes have even included a bloodied bull’s head being thrown onto the pitch by a Dynamo Dresden fan.

“The project of the promoted club from Leipzig runs counter to all that connects us to football,” declared the Sudtribune Dortmund fan group in a communique. “It’s a scandal that a marketing branch of an Austrian drinks manufacturer has been able to obtain a place in Germany’s top league. It contradicts all sporting and emotional values.”

For many fans of Germany’s long-established clubs, RB – who were playing in the fifth tier of the domestic pyramid only six years ago – simply represent an alien football culture. They are viewed as a Johnny-come-lately, test-tube operation, built on everything that “real” football fans detest: the overt commercialism, the lack of local roots and history, and the nouveau riche spend, spend, spend transfer dealings that saw the newcomers shell out over €50million euros on talent in pre-season – a figure only bettered by Bayern Munich, Dortmund and Wolfsburg.

Large swathes of the Bundesliga’s terrace-dwelling romantic traditionalists genuinely feel that RB are only in the game to sell a product and they see absolutely no merit in what Red Bull owner Dietrich Mateschitz has achieved since buying little SSV Markranstadt in 2009. There soon followed a change
of name – officially they are known as RasenBallsport Leipzig (which translates as “Turf Ball Sport Leipzig”) – and a massive investment of around €300m to date.

One of the most controversial aspects of the RB revolution is their attitude to German football’s famous “50+1” rule, the notion of which is that fans/members hold the controlling stake in clubs. Although technically signed up to the covenant, RB Leipzig stand accused of merely paying lip service.

Even a non-voting membership card in Leipzig costs €800 – over 10 times what a Bayern supporter would pay – and whereas Ruhr rivals Dortmund and Schalke each have some 140,000 members with the ability to make their voice heard, RB only has a paltry 17, and most of those are Red Bull employees.

Despite the hostility they encounter, the club have gone from strength to strength on the pitch and that success has continued into this season. Meticulously organised by coach Ralph Hasenhuttl, they are excellent in their pressing game, full of vim and desire, and could not have made a more impressive start to life in the top tier, pulling off a shock 1-0 home victory over last term’s runners-up Dortmund, thumping Hamburg 4-0 away and then holding Champions League participants Borussia Monchengladbach to a 1-1 draw.

Indeed, in some ways, RB are actually a positive for the Bundesliga, not least in their devotion to youth. The club have a policy of only signing players under the age of 24 and this summer they brought in central midfielder Naby Keita from RB affiliate club Salzburg, striker Timo Werner from Stuttgart and Scottish winger Oliver Burke, who less than a fortnight after arriving in a €15m deal from Nottingham Forest, came off the bench to set up the winner against Dortmund.

Widely regarded as the architect of the club’s success story, director of sport Ralf Rangnick – who also served as coach in their promotion-winning campaign last season – says it makes perfect sense to have a squad with an average age of just 23. “To my mind, experience can be overrated,” says Rangnick.

RB are also undeniably putting east German football back on the map. Following Energie Cottbus’ relegation from the Bundesliga in 2009, the former DDR has been a top-flight wasteland for seven long years, and as for the city of Leipzig – the birthplace of Deutschland’s football federation – it had not witnessed an elite fixture since the spring of 1994, when VfB Leipzig (who are once again playing under their former name of Lokomotive Leipzig) finished bottom of the pile.

Critics might like to label RB Leipzig as a “plastic club”, but in terms of support they are anything but. While other non-member clubs such as Wolfsburg and Hoffenheim have to bend over backwards to attract people through the gate, the fan scene at the 43,000 Red Bull Arena – the old Zentralstadion which was sumptuously renovated for the 2006 World Cup – is flourishing. The team averaged gates of 28,616 in the second tier last term, and this season they are comfortably selling out on a regular basis.

Unfortunately for the purists, with their financial support, outstanding infrastructure, Rangnick’s know-how and a solid plan, RB Leipzig are here to stay.

Hoffenheim is having an outstanding season as they are tied with five teams in third place with 21 points while Monchengladbach is strong at home i expect from this game to get both teams to score but i also expect Hoffenheim to get at least one point.

Glad will be those who, as me, bet on Leipzig ! 10th vs 1s with odds of 1,95 for Leipzig, what a joke !

Only doing agree with you all is option for this match Freiburg v RB Leipzig. Leipzig has won few matches which where it was seeming that it may loose against those big names but it proved everyone wrong. Freiburg should not be hurdle in its way to win another match with all the magic what has shown so far. That top ranking will be dominated by Leipzig continuously.

Another easy 3 points for RB Leipzig and amazing to see how they are moving forward with great rhythm and surely they deserve to win this match. I also have my bet on them @1.94

SC Freiburg - RB Leipzig to be honest I consider bet on this easy to win being on Leipzig. Odds as expected are really nice @1.96 moneyline and I will also remain straight for away. Since first match in superior league Leipzig is playing extraordinary. I will not take results how they played against each other at inferior level matches.

Freiburg vs Leipzig - Can Leipzig continue their unbelievable start to the season? They are defying the odds so far this season & I expect them to get another 3 points here.

I also have RB Leipzig straight for betting @1.92 it's attractive for betting and they have impressive track record there, SC Freiburg recently not into good shape and after losing some matches in a row will be into trouble and RB Leipzig will win this fight as usually they are doing.

SC Freiburg - RB Leipzig this encounter will be remain under control of away side because it looking very clear they are wonderful side and have big difference from home side. Than it is god decision to take RB Leipzig for this match.

home team SC Freiburg is not in the good shape they had already lost 2 times streak so possibility to win the match for RB Leipzig quite high but i do agree with you that RB Leipzig ML looks the best pick and i would following your predictions

Hello guys, I want to share my 7th Bundesliga bet for this week
The 7th single bet will be the match between FC Cologne vs FC Augsburg
Starting date and time: 26.11.2016   21:30 (sportsbet.io time)

This event can be found here:
https://sportsbet.io/sports/pre-live/soccer-germany-bundesliga/1.-fc-cologne-v-fc-augsburg/event/9690185?ref=tipster7

Match: FC Cologne vs FC Augsburg
Betting option: Double Chance and Both Teams Score -HomeDraw / Yes  @ 2.50
Odd: @ 2.25
Stake: 0.010 (10 mbtc)
Return: 0.025 (25.00 mbtc)

Proof:



FC Cologne as the favorite team and play at home  so no doubt they will win
Augsburg even under Cologne but this team is quite active scoring 9 of 10 games home and away always scored So both teams to score is also likely
to obtain greater odds I'm taking combination  bet Double Chance and Both Teams Score

My pick is over 2.5 goals for SC Freiburg vs RB Leipzig, I also think RB Leipzig will win this match and will get succeed to win this match even they are away, SC Freiburg is not strong team like other that is why I don't think they will get succeed to save this match.

I don't know.This game could be difficult for RB Leipzig.
Freiburg is pretty strong on home ground and sooner or later they will have to lose their first game.And maybe this match day it's going to happen.
I think I will be more conservate and put a bet bet on home or draw.

RB Leipzig is one of the best side and they are undefeated in this league so that I have my bet on it. SC Freiburg is at home ground and they have no chance to save this match even this can be risky but I will take ML of RB Leipzig.

SC Freiburg have kept 80% winning record at their home stadium, it's understandable that 1.95 odds for Red bull Leipzig. The bookies wasn't sure that RB Leipzig can hold the lead, staying above Bayern Munich with 3 clear at top of the league is just too fantasy. I choose the fantasy side, Draw No Bet RB Leipzig @ 1.44

1,95 is not that much. I know that they had a brilliant start of the season, but the season is long and Bayern is strong  

I have my bet on both teams to score on today match SC Freiburg vs RB Leipzig, there is pretty good chance for SC Freiburg to score a goal on its on home ground and in previous 2 encounters both teams score a goal against each other and after promotion now they are going to face each into this league for first time.

after Leipzig amazing start this season they are favorite to win over Freiburg despite that Freiburg got four points from the last two matches against Leipzig in Bundesliga 2 but Leipzig now are in much better form with 6 wins in a row while Freiburg lost last two games conceding 7 goals in them. so I expect a win for Leipzig as they won more thougher away games
