RB Leipzig host Paris Saint-Germain on Wednesday night in Group H of the Champions League at the Red Bull Arena. The group stage match will be a rematch of last season's Champions League semi-final. The match ended 3-0 in favor of Paris Saint-Germain, with the quality of Thomas Tuchel's team gaining prominence on the night.
Julian Nagelsmann will look for the best in his squad, especially after being humiliated by Manchester United at Old Trafford, 5-0. It was a result more the exception than the norm. However, RB Leipzig suddenly found themselves in dire shape. Over the weekend, they lost 1-0 to Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga. The defeat saw the Red Bulls drop from first place.
Since the defeat by Manchester United in the first round of the Champions League, Paris Saint-Germain is in a sequence of three consecutive victories. All three games ended in zero wins, with Paris Saint-Germain leading the opposition 9-0.
RB Leipzig have not scored in their last two games in all competitions. Can Nagelsmann get his team back on track at the expense of Tuchel and company?
RB Leipzig vs PSG betting odds
Paris Saint-Germain can take three points from six in Group H, but struggled to win them. After being beaten 2-1 at home by Manchester United, in which their only score was an own goal by Anthony Martial, Paris Saint-Germain looked off pace for most of the game against Istanbul Basaksehir. The Turkish champions should have scored several goals as they had so many chances. His poor shot allowed Paris Saint-Germain not to score twice in the second half as Everton rejected Moises Kean.
RB Leipzig dominated Istanbul Basaksehir, with a 2-0 victory. His trip to Old Trafford did not go well. The Red Bulls went a goal down in the first half thanks to a controversial VAR call in favor of Manchester United. The Red Bulls had scoring opportunities but failed to break through Manchester United's baseline. Marcus Rashford's 74th-minute goal sparked an avalanche in which Manchester United scored four times in the last 16 minutes. RB Leipzig folded after Rashford's first strike.
When these teams met in the Champions League semi-finals in August, it was a one-off rather than the two-game series traditionally played in the tournament. Marquinhos and Angel Di Maria scored in the first half for Paris Saint-Germain. Juan Bernat added a third just before the hour.
Team news RB Leipzig vs PSG
The big news for Paris Saint-Germain is the absence of Neymar once again. The Brazilian simply cannot stay in shape and when he feels some kind of fitness problem, he immediately puts it on the shelf for weeks. Paris Saint-Germain will not have Neymar at least until after the international break following a groin injury sustained in the game against Istanbul Basaksehir.
This season alone, Neymar has already lost four games in all competitions and this Wednesday night's game in Germany will be the fifth game that Neymar does not play. Paris Saint-Germain have played just 11 times in all competitions. Bernat and Julian Draxler will also miss the match. Both are nursing injuries. Bernat will take some time to return after a serious knee injury. News broke on Monday night that Kylian Mbappe is now a fixture for the game.
Nagelsmann will not be joined by Lukas Klostermann and Konrad Laimer. Tyler Adams is a big doubt due to a ligament issue. First-choice right-back Nordi Mukiele could also miss the game. He was out of the team's last two games.
RB Leipzig need to score goals, something they failed to do against Manchester United and Borussia Monchengladbach. Their back-to-back defeats were the first time RB Leipzig had failed to score in games this season.
Prediction RB Leipzig vs PSG
Both teams will score goals – BET NOW
RB Leipzig should change form on Wednesday night at home to Paris Saint-Germain. Although it has not scored in the last two games and conceded six goals, RB Leipzig is much better than the results indicate. RB Leipzig's attack must reach Paris Saint-Germain's defense and, like Manchester United in the first round, the French club must allow goals.
Marcel Sabitzer to score anytime – BET NOW
RB Leipzig need their captain to step forward and help change the club's shape. Injuries have prevented Sabitzer from playing a major role for the team this season. He appeared in three of the team's nine games in all competitions. Two of those matches were substitutions, including the start against Manchester United on Matchday XNUMX of the Champions League. Sabitzer has a goal in three games. The score came from the penalty spot.
More than 2,5 goals scored – BET NOW
Paris Saint-Germain registered over 2,5 goals in the first round of the Champions League, while RB Leipzig registered over 2,5 goals in the second round. Both clubs were beaten by Manchester United and failed to come back. Expect Paris Saint-Germain's defense to struggle. If they play like they did against Istanbul Basaksehir, RB Leipzig should have no problem scoring goals.
Five of RB Leipzig's nine games in all competitions have ended with over 2,5 goals scored. They have an average of 1,89 goals scored per game and 1,00 conceded in all competitions. Paris Saint-Germain average 2,36 goals per game and 0,45 goals allowed per game in all competitions. Six of Paris Saint-Germain's 11 games in all competitions have ended with over 2,5 goals scored. Do not forget that last August's match in the semifinals of the Champions League ended with more than 2,5 goals.
Paris Saint-Germain no longer have Neymar, but Mbappé could also miss the game. Mbappé went away at the weekend against Nantes in a 3-0 victory. He was out of practice on Monday and is doubtful with a hamstring strain.
RB Leipzig must be improved, but they will not achieve victory against Paris Saint-Germain. Expect a win or draw for the Parisian side, even without their two biggest stars.
