Football Prediction 

Real Madrid host RB Leipzig at the Santiago Bernabeu for the second leg of their round of 16 clash in the Champions League on Wednesday. Los Blancos hold a slender 1-0 advantage from the first tie last month in Leipzig and will be aiming to capitalize on it to reach the quarter-finals.

Contrary to the scoreline, though, the Red Bulls were the more menacing side in the clash, mustering nine shots on target to Real Madrid’s three, but lacked the cutting edge to bury their chances. Andriy Lunin also had a stormer in goal for the visitors, who rose on Brahim Diaz’s 48th-minute goal to win.

H2H / Stats 

The sides have met only thrice in history, with Real Madrid beating RB Leipzig in two of those games and losing once.

RB Leipzig 0-1 Real Madrid (February 2024, UEFA Champions League)

RB Leipzig 3-2 Real Madrid (October 2022, UEFA Champions League)

Real Madrid 2-0 RB Leipzig (September 2022, UEFA Champions League)

Team News 

David Alaba and Eder Militao are both out with injuries and will thereby miss the clash. Thibaut Courtois has returned to training but may not start, although he could be included in the matchday squad. Jude Bellingham is confirmed to have returned from injury by Ancelotti, but he’d be cautious against throwing the star at the deep end, especially when his side have the advantage in the tie.

The Red Bulls are without defender Lukas Klostermann, who is currently nursing a hamstring injury. Yussuf Poulsen was on the bench for their Bundesliga clash with Bochum on Saturday, and could feature here as the visitors are looking for more attacking firepower. 

Probable Line-Up

Real Madrid XI: Lunin (GK), Carvajal, Rudiger, Fernandez, Mendy, Tchouameni, Valverde, Kroos, Camavinga, Vinicius, Rodrygo

RB Leipzig XI: Blaswich (GK), Henrichs, Simakan, Orban, Raum, Kampl, Schlager, Simons, Sesko, Openda, Olmo

Verdict 

Real Madrid weathered the storm in the first leg to emerge victorious and now boasts the upper hand in the tie. RB Leipzig has to score if they harbour any qualification ambition but with their leaky defence which has kept just one clean sheet in their last five games in all competitions, this might be a tall order.
