Torino and Lecce have several ways to turn a first clearance into another shot, from wide service to midfield arrivals. Dortmund can also create repeated entries, while Elversberg have their own counter and restart routes. Leipzig's wide runners are dangerous at home, but Augsburg have fresh attacking links to answer them. Across these matches, the next accurate finish after the first exchange is the key to the picture.
Belghali's carries and Fitz-Jim's high regains can bring Adams, Simeone and Vlašić into Torino's attack. Lecce have found shots through Maleh and Ngom, and Torino recently allowed late crossed finishes. Belghali played Torino's last game before leaving with a knock and is available; Cacciamani missed it and has returned to training. Lecce's Gaspar, Coulibaly and Geubbels are in the current squad after recent absences, with their minutes still unconfirmed. Both sides have a route to the first goal and a separate reply, so I'm siding with a higher scoring Torino–Lecce match.
Ryerson's service gave Dortmund repeated entries against Betis, and Silva and Karetsas supplied finishes after Guirassy went off. Guirassy is now ruled out, while Silva played most of that match and Karetsas made a substantial appearance. Elversberg have allowed repeated shots but can answer through Keidel's restarts, Mokwa's break and later runners; their recent attackers played against Mainz without the injured squad members. That exchange can keep producing chances after the opener. I'm siding with a higher scoring Dortmund–Elversberg match.
Leipzig can attack Augsburg's altered back line through Raum, Rômulo and a fresh runner. Augsburg's reply has a real shape: Gregoritsch and Ibrahimović combined to score against Freiburg, and Rieder or Behrens can supply another ball. Augsburg's club has confirmed its defensive absences, though those players were already missing from the latest match. Nusa scored and played against City before leaving with muscle trouble; his availability and minutes are unsettled as Leipzig return from a short turnaround. Augsburg have had more recovery time and enough attacking routes to stay close, so I'm siding with Augsburg to keep the contest tight.
