Liverpool vs RB Leipzig Football Prediction, Betting Tip & Match Preview

This Wednesday March 10, 2021, Liverpool face Leipzig in a match counting for the knockout stages of the 2020-2021 edition of the Champions League. This match will take place at Puskas Arena in Budapest (Hungary) due to coronavirus restrictions and kick off will be at 9:00 p.m. During the first leg which took place in the same stadium on February 16, Liverpool won with the score of 2 goals to 0. In this meeting, the Egyptian Mohamed Salah and the Senegalese Sadio Mané were the two scorers of the Reds. The goals were scored in the 53rd and 58th minutes of play.

This rematch of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League will be played again in Budapest at the Puskas Arena.

The first match 3 weeks ago ended 2-0 in favor of Liverpool.

Liverpool is in a game and personnel crisis!

Liverpool, after achieving only 3 victories in their last 14 Premier League matches, logically ended up in 8th place there.

The crisis deepened with another 6th home loss.

This time from Fulham. At the same time, she was fully deserved in view of what was shown on the field.

The personnel crisis around the team continues.

He is especially bad on the defensive side in the absence of Van Dyke, Matip and Gomez. These are the three main central defenders.

The team captain, Henderson, will probably be absent as well.

RB Leipzig is on a remarkable rise!

RB Leipzig are only 2 points below Bayern Munich after 6 consecutive victories in the Bundesliga.

As in the last 3 of them were very effective. Scoring a minimum of 3 goals in each.

Probably their important football player Angelino will be absent again.

What happened in the first meeting?

Liverpool won the first match only because of heavy so-called. "Unprovoked" individual mistakes of players of RB Leipzig.

Jürgen Klopp himself was highly respected by the opponent.

And he had chosen a very conservative approach that left no gaps in the defense.

And the victory was just a lucky bonus.

Forecast for Liverpool - RB Leipzig

The watershed between the two teams is the radically different direction in the momentum vector.

In addition, the advantage in the personnel situation for RB Leipzig is very important.

Julian Nagelsman is now fully aware that the newcomer from Schalke - Kabak, feels uncomfortable in a pair with Fabinho.

But Jurgen Klopp has no choice.

RB will use long balls, which will constantly harass the newly formed and unbeaten defensive formation of Liverpool.

Something that Fulham did in their last game.

Merseyside fans are millions around the world.

And they maintain a great and unreasonably high odds for the team to win in a better moment.

It is funny even to think that RB Leipzig have only a 35% chance of winning.

I offer you a forecast of great value. And I'm in a hurry to take advantage of it. Large amount of bet.
