The Bulls want to surprise at home against Liverpool FC. Prediction, 23.10.24
The Reds can take the lead in the Champions League
RB Leipzig were already very unlucky in the draw and were given one of the toughest fixtures of this Champions League season. With Atletico and Juve, they have already played against two absolute top teams. Now Liverpool FC is the next top-class opponent. Leipzig are still waiting for their first point. Liverpool, on the other hand, have won both of their previous matches in the top flight against Milan and Bologna in impressive style. What's more, they are also in first place in the Premier League. They are therefore certainly one of the teams with the strongest form in Europe at the moment. They are therefore also considered slight favorites for the away game in Leipzig.
RB Leipzig
- 0 points after 2 games
- Still unbeaten in the Bundesliga
- Only 2 goals conceded in 6 league games
FC Liverpool
- 6 points after 2 games
- Premier League table leader
- Won every game away from home so far

Leipzig wants to gain a foothold in the Champions League
In the 2019/20 season, Leipzig sensationally reached the semi-finals of the Champions League, but were then beaten by PSG. Since this success, however, they have not made it past the round of 16. It could be difficult again this season, as a tough fixture list makes it unlikely that they will finish in the top 8 of the table. Leipzig are in 29th place after 2 games with 0 points and a goal difference of 3:5. However, their opponents on the first two matchdays were also Atletico Madrid and Juventus Turin. While they were beaten 2:1 away in Spain, they conceded a 2:3 defeat at home to the Old Lady. The game against the Italians in particular was a disappointment, as they had one more player on the pitch from the 60th minute onwards. Now they face Liverpool FC, then Celtic and then Italian champions Inter Milan.

Top start in the Bundesliga
Things have not gone as planned in the Champions League so far, but they have made a strong start in the German Bundesliga. Leipzig are in second place after six matchdays, level on points with league leaders Bayern Munich. These two teams are also the only ones yet to suffer defeat. The Bulls have won 4 out of 6 games, twice drawing 0-0, although they could certainly have done better in the games against Union Berlin and newly promoted St. Pauli. Nonetheless, they are looking very strong and have won their last two games against Augsburg and Heidenheim. For the fourth time in a row, they have now managed to stay without conceding a goal. With a goal difference of 5:0 goals, they are still completely without conceding a goal in their own stadium. Added to this is a 2:3 away win against reigning champions Bayer 04 Leverkusen. The two strikers Benjamin Sesko and Lois Openda are currently the life insurance, as they were responsible for 6 of the total of 9 goals. With David Raum, Benjamin Henrichs, Xaver Schlager and Assan Ouedraogo, however, they also have a number of injured players.
RB Leipzig
System: 4-2-3-1.
Liverpool top the Premier League table
The Reds have celebrated a perfect debut with their coach Arne Slot. In the Champions League they won both games, in the EFL Cup they swept West Ham United 5:1 and in the Premier League they are in first place in the table after 7 match days. In contrast to Arsenal and Manchester City, they have already suffered one defeat, but the 0:1 against Nottingham Forest was the only game in which they conceded points. Liverpool are just as strong defensively as their opponents this season. They have only conceded 2 goals in the league, by far the fewest. They have also scored a total of 13 goals. They have won all 4 of their away games, including a 0:3 win at Manchester United. The last few games were a little tighter, but in the end they were also able to beat Wolverhampton (1:2) and Crystal Palace (0:1). Alisson, however, will be without his regular keeper for the next few weeks. Caoimhin Kelleher will therefore stand between the posts in the match against Leipzig.

Will Liverpool soon be leading the Champions League?
The Reds are not only making a strong impression in the league, they have also done well in the Champions League so far. After 2 games, they have 6 points and are in 5th place in the league table. They have already faced a top team in AC Milan. Away in Italy, however, they secured an unchallenged 1:3 victory against the Rossoneri. They also faced an Italian team in their first home game. FC Bologna put in a strong performance at Anfield Road, but were ultimately beaten 2-0. The only thing that counts for Liverpool this season is the title, after they were only eligible to play in the Europa League last year.

Leipzig will have a tough time again - Our forecast
Leipzig are performing strongly in the Bundesliga and have yet to concede a goal at home. However, they have always lost out against top teams in the Champions League. Liverpool are probably their strongest opponents. The Reds are the favorites in this game, which is why we are also leaning towards Liverpool in a winning bet However, due to the two strong defenses, we would also make a betting prediction of under 3.5 goals.
