Enjoying a brilliant run of form in the Champions League last season, Leipzig steamrolled their way through to the semifinals, before being knocked out by PSG. They were impressive that time, and must have taken a lot of positives from the fairytale run.

Now, another campaign is well and truly underway and Nagelsmann’s charges will have one eye on that prestigious CL trophy. However, they will need to get past the first hurdle to book a ticket to the knockout rounds, to continue fighting for the ultimate crown.

Istanbul Basaksehir vs RB Leipzig Team News

Romping through the Turkish Super Lig last season, Istanbul Basaksehir surprisingly finished at the summit of the log to clinch the league title. With that silverware in their cabinet, they sent shockwaves around the footballing word.

As a reward for their fine play, Basaksehir earned a spot in the group stages of the Champions League to compete with fellow top giants across the continent. Competing on this grand stage for the first-time in their history, Buruk’s men must have been enthusiastic about their chances.

However, these ones have been humbled here, and are currently languishing at the basement of Group H with only three points to their name. In fact, they would be locked on zero points if not for their lucky win over Manchester United on matchday three.

Basaksehir’s involvements in European football has taken a toll on their performances in the domestic league, where they are floundering in seventh place. From 10 matches, they have only picked up 14 points, and well behind the summit.

As it turns out, playing in the Champions League is looking like a gift and a curse for Basaksehir, who aren’t performing well across both competitions. After their 4-1 hammering to Man United, Buruk’s men were held to a 3-3 Super Lig draw to struggling Denizlispor on the weekend.

Surely, these ones aren’t going anywhere in the Champions League, as the best they can hope for is a third-place finish. For that, they must secure victory over Leipzig – a mammoth task. This German side are in great form, both domestically and on the continent.

With six points to their name, the Red Bulls need victory against Basaksehir to remain in good position to qualify to the competition’s knockout rounds. Should they prevent complacency from creeping in, a comfortable win should be posted.

Injured or Suspended Players

Istanbul Basaksehir: Junior Caicara, Enzo Crivelli, Danijel Aleksic and Mehmet Topal.
RB Leipzig: Fabrice Hartmann, Konrad Laimer, Lukas Klostermann, Benjamin Henrichs and Hee-chan Hwang.

Basaksehir vs RB Leipzig Predictions

Turning up in the Champions League for the first time in their history, Basaksehir are very inexperienced at this level. They are rooted to the bottom of the log, and clearly the worst side in Group H.

Against a desperate Leipzig side, we just cannot see a way for Buruk’s men who are likely to be swept aside comfortably. Surely, the visitors are winning this one, but to get better value for your money, backing Die Roten Bullen to win the first-half is your bet.
