RB Leipzig v Liverpool

📅
Kick Off: Wednesday 23rd October at 20:00
🏆
Competition: UEFA Champions League
📺
Watch Live: TNT Sports 1

Liverpool’s European adventure continues in Germany on Wednesday and after getting the better of AC Milan and Bologna in the opening two fixture rounds of this season’s Champions League, their next outpost is a trip to RB Leipzig – a team that is yet to score a point after two successive defeats.

With two successive Champions League victories already under their belt, Liverpool will feel that they are in a strong position to make it three on Wednesday, and with RB Leipzig unable to match their own domestic form at present, it is they who will play the roles of both hosts and underdogs.

Arne Slot’s men came from behind to get the better of AC Milan on Matchday 1 and followed that success up with a routine win at home to Bologna on Matchday 2. In fairness, the Reds are yet to truly break sweat on the continent and there should be no sweat in backing the away win here.

🔍 RB Leipzig v Liverpool Players to Watch

🔴 Mohamed Salah

After scoring against Chelsea on Sunday, Mohamed Salah will be keen to carry his attacking form over to Germany on Wednesday night. The Egyptian forward has already scored six goals in all competitions this season, and he is currently the shortest price within the score anytime market.

A price that stands to reason when you consider that those six goals are backed up an average of 2.00 shots on target per game in all competitions and with a total xG of 5.3 this season, this metric is currently being outperformed by 0.7 when looking at his current overall scoring output

⚪️ Benjamin Sesko

Another player to consider in the anytime market is RB Leipzig’s Benjamin Sesko. The Slovenian has already netted three times in this season’s Champions League, including a home brace against Juventus on Matchday 2. It is fair to say he looks comfortable against Europe’s elite.

Sesko has scored five goals in total this season and with nine appearances under his belt, he is averaging a shot on goal at present. That quintet of goals equate to a total of 4.0 in terms of xG and with his expected goals tally being outperformed by 1.0, one goal is enough to win this bet.

🔴 Luis Diaz

European competition always offers a disciplinary tightrope for players of English teams and Luis Diaz may be the man who walks it on Wednesday. The reason for this is due to the Colombian’s penchant to be pulled up for fouls and the start of this season has been no different in that aspect.

Two Champions League outings see the Liverpool forward register an average of 2.00 fouls per game and when widening the sample to all competitions, the 27-year-old still ticks above one at a level of 1.20. If he can keep his continental lack of discipline going in Leipzig, we will pick up a betting win.

💻 RB Leipzig v Liverpool Form and Tactics

RB Leipzig manager Marco Rose is a proponent of the 3-4-2-1 formation and this was on show in their recent 2-0 win over Mainz. Serving as the focal point of the attack, Luis Openda will look to bring the likes of Xavi Simons and Benjamin Sesko into any attacking moves that are made.

In terms of form, RB Leipzig are currently unbeaten in the Bundesliga and it is only goal difference that keeps them off the top spot. After seven weeks of the new season, they currently possess the meanest defence in the German top tier having conceded just two goals.

Under Arne Slot, there has been little in the way of tactical evolution at Liverpool and the former Feyenoord manager prefers to mould his starting eleven in a 4-2-3-1. This shape was utilised against Chelsea on Sunday where Diogo Jota was the focal point but he is unavailable on Wednesday. Within the confines of the Premier League, Liverpool currently rank third in the average possession charts (56.1%). However, they have seen slightly less of the ball in Europe and as a consequence rank 16th in the Champions League by the same measure (51.0%).


🏁 RB Leipzig v Liverpool Ref Watch

  • Referee: Sandro Scharer
  •  The Swiss official oversaw the Matchday 2 clash between Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan.
  • A game that saw the 36-year-old produce five yellow cards and award a total of 19 fouls.
  •  Schärer’s discipline at the BayArena saw a foul-to-tackle ratio of 0.76. For context, the average per referee in the Champions League stands at 0.67 after Matchday 2.
