Real Madrid vs. RB Leipzig Prediction
Real Madrid sits at the top of La Liga, while Leipzig are sitting fifth in the Bundesliga. Madrid's defense has been a bit fragile lately, but they've always found a way to dominate games, and score plenty of goals.
In this second leg, Jude Bellingham, a top five best player in the world returns, and should change the dynamics of the game. Leipzig does have a knack for scoring goals, but unfortunately are an unbalanced team, and are expected to lose today. Compounding Leipzig's problems are the return of Madrid's defender Antonio Rudiger, the suspension of their central defender Mohamed Simakan, and an injury to right-back Lukas Klostermann.
Expect Madrid to take full advantage by dominating the midfield, and penetrating the right part of Leipzig's defense. This is where another top player in the world, Vinicius Junior, will look to thrive. Statistics supports this bet today: Real Madrid has scored in 40 of the last 41 games, Leipzig has conceded in 18 of the last 20 games, and 13 of their last away games.
Real Madrid scores in the second half of matches scoring in 21 of the last 23 games. Real Madrid has not lost in 30 of the last 31 games, and 22 of their last home games. With the last match being only 1-0, Madrid will need to score more goals to seal the deal and advance to the next stage of soccer's greatest sporting event.
