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.
