RB Leipzig Betting Preview
RB Leipzig finished in second place in Group G having picked up 12 points. On December 13th, RB Leipzig faced off against Young Boys in the UEFA Champions League and they were able to secure the 2-1 victory. They had 54 percent of the possession and two shots on target, but both shots made it in the back of the net. RB Leipzig is pretty healthy heading into this game, but they could be missing one key player. Amadou Haidara missed the last game with a knee injury and it’s unclear if he’s going to be able to go in this game. If he can’t go that is a big loss.

Last Saturday, Real Madrid faced off against Girona and they were able to secure a 4-0 victory. Jude Bellingham had a strong game scoring in the 34th and 54th minute.

RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid Betting Prediction
Assuming that Real Madrid isn’t going to have Bellingham, I think the play here is with RB Leipizig. Real Madrid isn’t going to have many quality scoring chances and finding the back of the net is going to be tough here. RB Leipzig might not exactly run up the score, but they are going to score at least one goal, and that is going to be the difference here. It might not be enough to win but it’s going to be enough to at least pay to a draw. Back RB Leipzig +0.5 to cash here.
