RB Leipzig – Liverpool: Initial situation
Liverpool travels to Germany on a seven-game winning streak in all competitions. Leipzig is also in good form if we exclude the two previous matches in the Champions League. The Red Bulls should not be underestimated since they will have to go all-in in this game, and when they are aggressive, anything can happen.
RB Leipzig Stats & Form
Leipzig has a terrible start to the UEFA Champions League season after losing both matches so far, even though they were the team to score first in both of them. First, they lost 2-1 to Atletico Madrid on the road and then failed 3-2 against Juventus in the next one. That loss hurt differently as the Red Bulls had a 2-1 lead and an extra man on the pitch but still failed to win any points. Things are way different in the Bundesliga, where Leipzig is sharing the top spot in the standings with Bayern Munich. They are coming off back-to-back wins over Heidenheim and Mainz without allowing any goal. Lois Openda is the best player on the team with 4 goals so far in the season.
Liverpool Stats & Form

Currently, they are on a seven-game winning streak in all competitions and defeated Chelsea 2-1 this past weekend. Mohamed Salah is in excellent form with 5 goals and 5 assists in the Premier League.
RB Leipzig – Liverpool: Head to Head
This will be the fourth game between these two teams. They met in the round of 16 of the 2020-21 Champions League season when the Reds won both games by 2-0. After that, they played a friendly game in 2022, when Liverpool won by an unfriendly result, 5-0.

Betting tip and prediction: RB Leipzig – Liverpool (23.10.2024)
Many Liverpool fans were worried about how the team would look following the departure of manager Jürgen Klopp, who left the club after nine years in charge. Arne Slot was the chosen one to try to fill in those shoes, and believe it or not, the Dutch manager is doing a great job. The Reds are going into the third matchday of the Champions League season undefeated and are on top of the Premier League, two months into the season. Liverpool had no problems in the first two rounds against a pair of Italian teams and proved their good form with a 2-1 win against Chelsea on Sunday. That win is even more special given the fact that Slot had to make many changes in the starting eleven. Goalkeeper Alisson is still out with injury, and Caoimhin Kelleher will be between the posts. Diogo Jota is one of the crucial players in the offense, and Federico Chiesa is another asset brought in, but both strikers are unavailable for this game. The Reds’ midfield is also hurt by the absence of Harvey Elliott and Wataru Endo. Leipzig is into deep both given the record and the injury list. The German team lost both games against Atletico Madrid and Juventus, which are their only two losses in their last 12 games. Midfielders Kevin Kampl and Nicolas Seiwald are out for the Wednesday match, just like defenders Benjamin Henrichs and David Raum. No matter how difficult the situation is for Leipzig, the Red Bulls will not give up this early in the season. Going against one of the best teams on the continent is a real opportunity for Leipzig to see how good they are at the moment. They are probably not on the level to beat the Reds, who will be competitive and aggressive in this game. Taking everything into consideration, we go with both teams to score.
