UEFA Champions League

The Red Bulls are one of the most intriguing teams in the world at the moment and under the inspirational guidance of Julian Nagelsmann, the German team had reached the semi-finals of the previous edition of the UCL, and at the same time finished third. in the Bundesliga, behind Bayern and Dortmund.

This time they went even further and placed themselves on top of the table. He is also undefeated this season in the German top flight and has also conceded the fewest goals in the process.

Meanwhile, Istanbul players Basaksehir had a bad start to the season. As of now, the team is in the relegation zone of the Turkish Super Lig and has added a total of only one victory so far. Worryingly, they also scored two goals throughout the campaign.

And it should also be mentioned that the Bundesliga is one of the top five leagues in Europe, while the Turkish ones lack this juice.

Probably expect Leipzig to be easily the best team in this round.

Prediction RB Leipzig vs Istanbul Basaksehir

Buruk's men had not won seven of their last nine meetings overall, and had also lost three of their previous five games. Moving forward, they have conceded two or more goals in six of their last nine games and, incidentally, are in the relegation zone of the Turkish top flight.

Also, the Super Lig is a much inferior competition to the Bundesliga, and that's where the Red Bulls come from. Nagelsmann's men are not only from a much better national league, but also one of the best teams there.

In fact, last season, the Red Bulls finished below the two titans: Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, and this time, they raced to the top of the table with an unbeaten record.

Furthermore, they have won four of their previous five games overall and have scored three or more goals in three of their previous five games.

They are finally home and will definitely want to start their European campaign on a winning note.

With those observations in mind, expect a winning performance from Leipzig, and that too in style.

In addition, they love to score goals, and that too in abundance. Guests who are very incompetent in defense at this point have the potential to leave a lot of goals, especially late in the game.
