Find the latest predictions, team news and betting tips for the Champions League match between RB Leipzig and Liverpool on Wednesday 23rd October (8pm BST).
Tip 1
Both Openda and Nunez love taking a pop regardless of angle, opportunity and often times, logic.
That being said, they’re two fantastic candidates to register a shot on target in Wednesday’s clash for this reason, averaging 4.07 and 4.64 shots per game respectively this season.
The pair have also registered a SOT in their two previous UCL fixtures and look a good prospect to repeat this feat again at the Red Bull Arena.
Tip 2
Sharpshooter Benjamin Sesko has six goals across all competitions for RB Leipzig this term.
The Slovenian forward has netted all three of his side’s Champions League goals in the current campaign, further tipping off the radars of Europe’s elite.
In September and October, Sesko has appeared 11 times for his club and country, scoring nine goals in the process, including a brace last time out in this competition against Juventus.
Leipzig went level on points with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga standings after recording a 2-0 victory over Mainz last Saturday afternoon.
Knocks for Lois Openda and Amadou Haidara aren’t expected to keep either one from participating here. Xaver Schlager, David Raum, Nicolas Seiwald and Assan Oeudrago will all be missing, however.
RB Leipzig Predicted XI: Gulacsi; Orban, Klostermann, Lukeba; Geertruida, Haidara, Vermeeren, Nusa; Simons; Sesko, Openda.
LFC maintained their one-point lead at the head of the Premier League table with a 2-1 win over Chelsea at Anfield.
Diogo Jota is expected to miss out on Wednesday after lasting just 30 minutes of Sunday’s clash with the Blues. He will join confirmed absentees Alisson Becker and Harvey Elliot, and will most likely be accompanied by Federico Chiesa, Conor Bradley and Trent Alexander-Arnold.
Liverpool Predicted XI: Kelleher; Gomez, Konate, Van Dijk, Tsimikas; Mac Allister, Gravenberch; Salah, Jones, Diaz; Nunez.
