RB Leipzig vs Liverpool Prediction
RB Leipzig kept pace with Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga over the weekend, as they secured a 2-0 victory over Mainz.
Liverpool, meanwhile, kept their place at the top of the Premier League table with Sunday's win over Chelsea.
Both sides have made contrasting starts in the UEFA Champions League though. Leipzig have lost both matches thus far, against Atletico Madrid and Juventus.
Liverpool have won both of their opening two games, against AC Milan and Bologna. The Reds were 4-0 aggregate winners when these two sides met in the round of 16 in this competition four seasons ago.
Expect the visitors to make it three wins from three here.

RB Leipzig vs Liverpool Bet Builder Tips
Our bet builder tips for RB Leipzig vs Liverpool features Benjamin Sesko to have over 0.5 shots on target, Liverpool to win and Salah over 1.5 shots on target.
At the time of publishing it is a best price of 7/1 with bet365.
Sesko is coming off a stellar performance against Juventus, where he netted two goals from five shots, including two on target. He maintained his precision in his last league game, hitting the target twice, and in his previous four outings, he’s consistently racked up shots with figures of 3, 5, 3, and 3. Riding high on confidence, Sesko looks likely to make an impact in this match as well.
Liverpool, currently leading the Premier League, have a strong track record against Leipzig. Meanwhile, Leipzig have struggled against top-tier competition this season, suffering Champions League defeats to both Juventus and Atletico. Despite being second in the Bundesliga, their only real test domestically came against Leverkusen, and Liverpool may be poised to exploit their vulnerabilities in this encounter.
Salah, too, has been a reliable threat, recording two shots on target in seven of his 10 Champions League and Premier League games this season, including both of his Champions League appearances. Averaging four shots per game in this competition, he'll be confident of his chances against a Leipzig defense that hasn't shown its usual defensive resilience in Europe.
