The Match Is Over. Score:
3-1
Porto v RB Leipzig Predictions for Wednesday's 8.45pm kick-off Champions League group fixture facing Portuguese Primeira Liga hosts Porto and Bundesliga side RB Leipzig at Estadio do Dragao. Turkish side Besiktas have somewhat surprisingly taken a run-away lead in Group G. Porto and Leipzig are currently just 1 point apart in the battle for progression to the next round. Two weeks ago, Leipzig won the reverse fixture 3-2 in a close fought encounter.
Porto will look to pacey hitman Vincent Aboubakar in this all-important match. The Cameroonian international has been in blistering form for his club side this season, with 8 goals in 10 matches in the league and 3 goals in 2 matches in the Champions League.
Leipzig recently went on a blistering run in the Bundesliga, with 4 wins on the bounce. That came to an end last weekend after a 2-0 defeat against Bayern. All 4 wins before that were by a margin of exactly 1 goal, the Germans have not won by more than 1 goal in their last 11 matches.
Porto have been close to faultless in the Primeira Liga so far, with 9 wins and 1 draw from the first 10 matches. They have been in frightening form at home, scoring 23 goals and conceding just 3 - they have won by a margin of at least 3 goals in all 5 of them. In their only home match in the CL so far they lost 3-1 against Besiktas.
RB Leipzig: Gulacsi - Halstenberg, Upamecano, Orban, Klostermann - Forsberg, Keita, Demme, Sabitzer - Werner, Augustin (4-4-2 formation)
RB Leipzig: Stefan Ilsanker.
