Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction One — Real Madrid to win either half YES— 1.68
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Two — Both teams to score & Over 2.5 goals — 1.85
Bookmaker Ratings: Prediction Three — Over 2.5 goals — 1.65
The Whites have already booked their place in the round of 16 following last week’s 1-1 draw against Shakhtar Donetsk in Poland but that wouldn’t stop Real Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti from using his best team against RB Leipzig. The German club have won five of their last six matches in all competitions and will prove too strong at home for Madrid, hence expecting the La Liga side to win at least one half.
Three of RB Leipzig’s last five matches ended with both teams scoring at least one goal each and four of their last six matches ended with over 2.5 goals. Real are a good goal scoring team and will get on the scoreboard at Leipzig, never in doubt.
Three of Real Madrid‘s last five matches across all competitions ended with over 2.5 goals. Leipzig’s four of their last five matches had over 2.5 goals. Both sides are struggling to keep clean sheets but are good going forward, hence expecting this tie to produce over 2.5 goals before the final whistle.
Leipzig are finding consistency in the Bundesliga this season as they are occupying the 11th position with 15 points in 10 league matches. They have won four and lost three in the Bundesliga so far.
Leipzig are not doing badly in the Champions League as they are 2nd in Group F with six points from four matches. A win over Real would massively increase their chances of going through to the knockout stage but they will first face Augsburg away from home this weekend.
The Whites have qualified to the knockout stage of the UCL and are three points clear of 2nd-placed Barcelona with 28 points from 10 matches. Ahead of the Leipzig trip, Real will host Sevilla at Santiago Bernabue this weekend in the La Liga.
Karim Benzema has reportedly left Real’s training with an injury and he’s a doubt for the Sevilla game this weekend. Dani Ceballos is out injured.
