RB Leipzig vs Aston Villa Tips

Tip 1

Marco Rose’s men are averaging 6.83 corners in Bundesliga matches played at the Red Bull Arena this term.

They’ve met this particular line in two of their last four UCL matches and fallen just short with five corners in each of the other two outings.

Tip 2

Rogers has three assists this season – two in the Premier League and one in this competition against Bologna at Villa Park.

He, Youri Tielemans and Emi Martinez are the only three players to start all 19 of AVFC’s league and European games this season.

Most importantly, Rogers is one of only five players to have completed 10+ dribbles (18) and make 10+ key passes from open play (10) in the Champions League during this campaign.

The 22 year old created three chances against Southampton on Saturday – as many as Villa’s opposition did that day.

RB Leipzig Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Leipzig have put together back-to-back victories since losing 5-1 to Wolfsburg with a 3-0 DFB Pokal last-16 win over Frankfurt, followed by a 2-0 Bundesliga W over Holstein Kiel last weekend.

The hosts have multiple absentees: Xavi Simons, Elijif Elmas, Yussuf Poulsen, David Raum and El Chadaille Bitshiabu are all injured, while Castello Lukeba serves a one-match suspension.

RB Leipzig Predicted XI: Gulacsi; Geertruida, Seiwald, Orban, Henrichs; Baumgartner, Haidara, Vermeeren, Nusa; Sesko, Openda.

Aston Villa Form, Team News & Predicted Line-Up

Villa have also picked up successive wins, as Southampton most recently fell victims to a 1-0 defeat at Villa Park thanks to a Jhon Duran strike inside 25 minutes last Saturday.

Leon Bailey is Unai Emery’s only absentee, after suffering from a hamstring injury during Villa’s win over Southampton.

Aston Villa Predicted XI: Martinez; Cash, Konsa, Torres, Digne; Kamara, Tielemans; Philogene, Rogers, McGinn; Watkins.
