Manchester United vs. RB Leipzig 10/28/20 UEFA Champions League Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

Manchester United is hosting RB Leipzig at Old Trafford in round 2 in the UEFA Champions League.

United is slowly improving, and I mean slowly. In their last EPL match against Chelsea last weekend, United was solid, and they have created a few good chances, but neither of the teams was able to score a goal. This match ended in a 0-0 draw. United was playing against PSG on the road last week in the Champions League, and they have had 39% of ball possession, 6 shots on goal, 8 corner kicks, 1 big chance created, and 79% of the correct passes. United was playing good in this game, and they were dangerous on the counterattacks. United has won this game 1-2. Rashford has scored 1 goal for United in the Champions League, while Pogba added 1 assist. Fernandes has scored from the penalty spot against PSG as well. There are no injuries or suspensions in Manchester United as of right now. Manchester United is a good team, and they have some great players, but they always start the season slowly, and by the time they get their act together, the title is far away. This is a strong group in the Champions League, and if Manchester can stay consistent, they will advance to the next stage.

Leipzig is in fantastic form, and they have been undefeated in their last 7 games while winning 6 of their last 7 games. Leipzig is still undefeated in Bundesliga so far this season, and they are in first place with 13 points, 12 scored goals, and 3 conceded goals. In their last Bundesliga game, Leipzig was playing against Hertha at home, and they have won that match 2-1. In the Champions League, Leipzig was hosting Basaksehir last week, and they have had 48% of ball possession in that game, 6 shots on goal, 3 corner kicks, 1 big chance created, and 77% of the correct passes. This wasn’t the best game we have seen from Leipzig, but they got the job done. Leipzig has won this match 2-0. Angelino is the leading goalscorer for Leipzig with 2 goals, while Nkunku and Kampl added 1 assist each. Hartmann, Laimer, Haidara, Klostermann, and Mukiele are all injured, and they will not be in the lineup for this game. Leipzig is playing good soccer on both ends, and they are one of the best defensive teams in Bundesliga, while they have started the Champions League well, and their chances have risen greatly after the win in round 2 in the Champions League. Leipzig is a good team, they have a great player, and they are an incredibly dangerous team.

United and Leipzig have never played against each other in the past. Manchester United is improving, while Leipzig has been constantly playing well. I think this will be a good game with plenty of chances on both sides, and for that reason, I will pick something on goals here.
