Victory for the visitors

The match between RB Leipzig and Real Madrid is a notable match in the first round of the 1/8 round of the 2023/2024 European Cup. The German representative has to welcome the leading candidate for the championship. They themselves have been a troublesome obstacle in European cups for many years.

RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid Prediction

Real Madrid had to play away in Germany but was a team that was rated higher. But this was not a reason for the Spanish Royal team to be subjective. Because before that, Real Madrid defeated their direct competitor for the championship, Girona, but those 3 points cost them a lot.

Jude Bellingham was forced off early with an injury and his chances of playing in the Champions League are slim. Brahim Diaz is the most suitable replacement in the attacking midfield position. However, other stars like Vinicius and Rodrygo are still capable of turning the game around.

The loss of the defense is the problem that gives coach Ancelotti a headache. Antonio Rudiger, Militao, Alaba are still unable to play due to various injuries. In return, they will have the service of veteran center-back Nacho Fernandez. He can play with Aurelien Tchouameni.

On the other side of the front line, RB Leipzig have no notable personnel absences. However, Mohamed Simakan and Benjamin Henrichs must be careful with every move. They will be suspended for the return leg if they receive another yellow card.

Coach Marco Rose has not found a way to fill the many gaps that often appear in the defense. RB Leipzig can concede many goals against any opponent, from strong to weak. This is the problem that makes them continuously lose even though the attack still has a good scoring ability.
