RB Leipzig and Real Madrid face off on Tuesday in a Group F UEFA Champions League showdown at Red Bull Arena.
When these two teams faced off on September 14th it was Real Madrid that was able to secure the 2-0 victory. It actually wasn’t a very dominant game, but two goals after the 80th minute was enough to secure the 2-0 victory. Both teams had three shots on goal, while Real Madrid had 53 percent of the possession. Even though the final score was 2-0 the game was a lot closer than that/
Real Madrid comes into this game sitting in 1st place in the group having picked up 10 points. Real Madrid’s last Champions League game came against Shakhtar Donetsk on October 11th and the game ended in a 1-1 draw. In the last game they faced off against Sevilla and Real Madrid secured a 3-1 victory. Luka Modrić scored in the 5th minute to open up the scoring and there were two goals scored after the 79th minute and that led to the victory. Real Madrid had six shots on target and 56 percent of the possession. Karim Benzema is dealing with fatigue, and he won’t be able to go in this game.
On the other side of this matchup is RB Leipzig who sits in 2nd place in the group having picked up six points. On October 11th RB Leipzig faced off against Celtic, and they were able to secure the 2-0 victory. Timo Werner scored in the 75th minute and Emil Foresberg added another goal in the 84th minute. RB Leipzig had 59 percent of the possession and five shots on target. Lukas Klostermann, Marcel Halstenberg, Konrad Laimer, and Peter Gulacsi are all dealing with injuries and won’t be able to go in this game. In this game, the offense needs to find a way to score the first goal.
It’s hard at this point to bet against Real Madrid, and I’m not going to do it. Look for RB Leipzig to struggle to score against Real Madrid and that is going to be the difference as Real Madrid gets the job done. Real Madrid might not score more than a goal, but they are going to get the job done. Back Real Madrid on the money line.
