RB Leipzig v Liverpool Preview
RB Leipzig’s Form
RB were only founded in 2009 but due to the polarising “Red Bull” ownership model in which they’ve founded their rise as a club, it remains a club which arguably doesn’t receive the plaudits they deserve. Last season though they finished 4th in the Bundesliga, won the DFL-Supercup and reached the Champions League Round of 16. This season they’re level on points with Bayern and only trailing them by goal difference at this early juncture of the season.
Despite their promising Bundesliga form, their Champions League start has been less than ideal this season. They opened their campaign with a narrow 2-1 defeat against Athletico even though Sesko opened their scoring in the 4th minute and in their second game they again squandered a lead, this time 2-1 to lose 2-3 against Juventus.
RB Leipzig can consider themselves somewhat unlucky in the competition but that’s the reality of Champions League Football and it’ll only get tougher against Liverpool.

Liverpool’s Form
Liverpool finished the Klopp era of the club last season on a little bit of a whimper finishing 3rd in the Premier League and being eliminated from the FA Cup and Europa League at the Quarter-Final stage following their early season EFL Cup success.. Slot’s proved the perfect tonic to keep the good times rolling at the club leading the Premier League by a point 8 games in and only 1 defeat in all competitions.
They opened their Champions League journey with a 1-3 away victory over Milan coming from behind in the process. Their second game proved more comfortable though, running out 2-0 winners over Bologna to put them in a strong position ahead of this game.
Liverpool play Leverkusen and Real Madrid in the coming weeks after this game so avoiding defeat is still required here.

Key Players To Watch
Benjamin Sesko – RB Leipzig
RB are no strangers to a star striker in recent years and since signing in August 2022 he has been very much the main man for the club scoring 18 times and assisting twice across 42 games in all competitions in his debut season. Sesko is very much in the mould of a traditional #9 and is a danger with both his feet and head while also having a strong link-up ability.
This season he has 6 goals and 3 assists in 10 games across all competitions including 3 goals in 2 Champions League games. If you fancy him to continue that run against Liverpool he is 7/1 to score first and 2/1 to score anytime.
Mohamed Salah – Liverpool
The man affectionately known as “The Egyptian King” by Liverpool fans might be approaching the “Twilight” of his career at (32) but he remains a constant menace for opposition defenders.
This season he already has 7 goals and 6 assists in 11 games across all competitions. He can be gotten at 9/2 to score first or at 5/4 to score at any time in this game.
RB Leipzig v Liverpool Prediction & Best Bet
Prediction: RB Leipzig 0-2 Liverpool
RB Leipzig are a dangerous side though their collapses in recent European encounters suggest to me that there is a mental fragility there at the highest level.
Liverpool are a serious side and well set up for another late-run in the competition under new manager Slot but will still want to continue their vein of form in this game.
Liverpool should be far too good in this game all else being equal.
Best Bet: Liverpool Win + Under 3.5 Goals @ 21/10
