Handed a pretty difficult Champions’ League group, RB Leipzig managed to secure second-place to advance to the knockout phases. On the cusp of elimination, Die Roten Bullen produced a miracle-of-sorts to edge Man United to a top-two finish.

Liverpool, on the other hand, had a relatively easier qualification section – Atalanta being the only team capable of causing them troubles. Having toppled Group D, the Reds plain-sailed into the Round-of-16 to secure this date with German juggernauts RB Leipzig.

RB Leipzig vs Liverpool Team News

Getting their Champions League campaign off to a flyer, Leipzig secured a comfortable 2-0 win over minnows Istanbul Basaksehir in their opening fixture, to post some much-needed points on the board. That triumph raised confidence levels in their camp.

However, the Red Bulls were brought back down to earth in their subsequent game against Man United, where they were taken to the cleaners in a rout. Solskjaer’s men showed no mercy on the night, firing five unanswered goals past a helpless Gulacsi in goal.

Despite this heavy thrashing, Leipzig managed to get their acts together, racking up some vital points in their remaining matches to finish in second-place in Group H. Ahead of this last-16 clash with Liverpool, the Red Bulls will fancy their chances of salvaging a result.

Their recent Bundesliga form has been nothing short of sensational, winning four of their previous five matches. This amazing run has propelled them to second-place, only four points shy of league leaders, Bayern Munich.

Given Liverpool’s recent woes, there is no ruling RB Leipzig out of this one. Nagelsmann’s charges have enough quality in their ranks to give the Reds a run for their money. Since the turn of the year, the Kop have been on a downward trajectory.

They have come out victorious in only two of their previous eight matches – a worrying record that has seen them plummet down the log to fourth-place. With 13 points separating them from the summit, the Reds can already kiss the PL title goodbye.

Having lost their last three matches on the bounce, Klopp’s men have hit a new low, and will now be focused on the Champions League, where they still have a shot at glory. Can Liverpool arrest their slump in Budapest? Time will tell!

Injured or Suspended Players

RB Leipzig: Fabrice Hartmann, Konrad Laimer, Emil Forsberg, Benjamin Henrichs and Dominik Szoboszlai.

Liverpool: Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Diogo Jota, Naby Keita and Fabinho.

RB Leipzig vs Liverpool Predictions

Known for their goalscoring exploits, none of Leipzig’s previous 22 games have ended goalless, implying we might see a couple of strikes in this one. With this game set to be played on a neutral ground, the Red Bulls have been denied home advantage.

But the form book shows they are in much better form than their English counterparts, Liverpool. The Red’s front three should be able to grab one or two goals here. We can see both sides hitting the target with no less than two goals on the scoresheet.
