RB Leipzig vs Liverpool predictions: Reds to continue winning run in Germany
- RB Leipzig are second in the Bundesliga after seven games
- Liverpool sit top of the Premier League after four successive wins
- Recommended bet: Liverpool to win and both teams to score
Liverpool will look to extend their winning run to eight matches in all competitions when they travel to Germany to take on RB Leipzig in the Champions League on Wednesday night.
The Reds have adapted to life under Arne Slot brilliantly and they will travel to the Red Bull Arena with a spring in their step after their 2-1 win over Chelsea on Sunday.
Slot's side have won both of their Champions League matches so far, while their German opponents will be desperate to bounce back after successive defeats in the competition.
Team News
RB Leipzig's top scorer, Lois Openda, picked up a knock in the recent 2-0 win over Mainz, but he has played down the issue and suggested he will be fit to start on Wednesday.
Amadou Haidara will also need to prove his fitness after suffering an injury scare over the weekend, but David Raum, Xaver Schlager, Nicolas Seiwald, and Assan Ouedraogo are all sidelined by injury.
Reds forward Diogo Jota failed to complete the match against Chelsea due to an injury and he is likely to join Alisson and Harvey Elliott in the treatment room, while Federico Chiesa and Conor Bradley are doubtful.
The stats
RB Leipzig have won their last two matches without conceding, while they have only lost one of their previous five games.
Marco Rose's team have shipped five goals in their European defeats to Atletico Madrid and Juventus, but they have only failed to score in one of their four competitive matches on home turf this season.
Liverpool beat AC Milan 3-1 and Bologna 2-0 in their opening two Champions League matches, while they have won their last seven in all competitions, keeping clean sheets in three of those encounters.
Prediction
RB Leipzig have been in fine form domestically and they have kept six clean sheets in seven games.
However, Wednesday's challenge will be a different proposition and they will struggle to contain Liverpool's fast-flowing attack.
Slot has built his team's success on strong defensive foundations, but they have scored at least two goals in nine of their 11 competitive matches this season and they should be able to overpower their hosts.
