RB Leipzig face Liverpool in Matchday 3 of the UEFA Champions League. This will be a tough game to call as both sides are having strong league campaigns with Leipzig 2nd in the Bundesliga while Liverpool are top of the Premier League. Liverpool have won their opening two UEFA Champions League fixtures with a 1-3 win away to AC Milan and a 2-0 win at home to Bologna.
Leipzig are yet to register a win in the Champions League, although they have had difficult games. They lost 2-1 to Atletico Madrid and 2-3 to Juventus, conceding late winners in both those games. Leipzig will need a win this time out but will find it difficult against Liverpool.
Our 3 Predictions for RB Leipzig vs Liverpool

1st Prediction for RB Leipzig vs Liverpool: Liverpool to Win – 1.81
This game is a tough one to call. Leipzig are a strong side on paper but have yet to register a win in the UEFA Champions League. They currently sit 2nd in the Bundesliga, ending Bayer Leverkusen’s long unbeaten Bundesliga winning run.
Liverpool have won their opening two Champions League games and also sit top of the Premier League with 6 wins and 1 defeat. They are unbeaten away from this season with 5 wins out of 5 in all competitions including a 1-3 win in matchday 1 of the Champions League versus AC Milan.
I expect this game to be tight but Liverpool will do enough to get the victory.
2nd Prediction for RB Leipzig vs Liverpool: Both Teams To Score – 1.44
Liverpool have scored in all but 1 of their 10 games in all competitions this season and have scored 5 goals in their opening 2 UEFA Champions League games, which is an average of 2.5 goals per game.
Leipzig have scored in 8 out of their 10 games in all competitions and have scored in both their opening Champions League games. They have scored 3 goals in their opening 2 games, and average of 1.5 goals per game. Both these teams have tonnes of attacking talent, so it is likely they will both score in this one.
3rd Prediction for RB Leipzig vs Liverpool: Liverpool Draw No Bet – 1.40
As mentioned, I do believe this game will be a tight game that Liverpool will just about win. I am predicting a 1-2 victory for Liverpool, but RB Leipzig will be a difficult team to beat as shown in the opening two Champions League games, where Atletico Madrid needed a 90th minute winner to beat Leipzig while Juventus needed an 82nd minute winner to defeat Leipzig last time out.
This bet is used to cover you as a draw is also a strong possibility. If Liverpool win you will be successful in your bet, but if the game ends in a draw you will receive your stake back.
