RB Leipzig vs Liverpool: Predictions and Betting Tips

RB Leipzig to take their great form to CL

Travel restrictions in Germany meant that this match couldn’t be played in the country.

It has been a magnificent season for the German side so far. They are second in the Bundesliga table and are on a four game winning streak in all competitions.

In the group stage, Leipzig finished second in group H behind PSG on goal average winning four games and losing two. 

Manager Julian Nagelsmann will hope his team can take their winning form to this match. The German coach had rested five of his first team players and still managed to win against Augsburg 2-1 at the weekend.

Liverpool’s current form sparks concerns

The reigning champions of the UEFA Champions league go into this game in their worst form possible. The Reds have lost their last three matches in the Premier League and after topping the league in December, they are currently 13 points behind leaders Manchester City at fourth.

They did finish top in Group D winning four, drawing one and losing one during the process. Jurgen Klopp will hope his team can return to their CL form in this match and take advantage of the match being played in a neutral venue.

Key Stats

• Over 2.5 total goals were scored in four out of five Leipzig’s and Liverpool’s matches
• Liverpool have no clean sheets in the last seven matches
• Leipzig have scored 12 goals in the last five matches

RB Leipzig vs Liverpool Prediction

As we have seen in the preview of both teams, the Germans are in a better form than their opponents in recent weeks, but you can never count out a team of Liverpool’s caliber.

We think it will be a close match between these two. Liverpool will defend their title fiercely and we may see a different approach from their players in this match.

Both of these teams have been in matches that saw a lot of goals and we predict that feat will continue in this match.
