Team News

RBL
Sporting
  • RB Leipzig are without no fewer than five players for the welcome of Sporting.
  • Marco Rose may continue with a three-man backline for the welcome of Sporting.
  • Pote will be assessed, leaving Nuno Santos as the away side's only confirmed absentee.

Prediction

  • RB Leipzig were held to a 3-3 draw by table footers Bochum to make it back-to-back winless games. That said, the German side have won three of their last four at home.
  • Sporting's imperious start to the season seems a lifetime ago with the Portuguese side winning only three of their last six.
  • Sporting ended a four-match winless run on the road on Saturday but they may have to settle for a draw on Wednesday.

  • Heli Leipzig!

  • sporting full win here

  • Leipzig to end the drought in this match.

  • Why will RB Leipzig bother trying?

  • BTTS

  • @KingKeno No Viktor G starting is weird

  • @KingKeno I think he felt he was on the edge of getting injuried after the league cup match against Benfica, so next match he only played 9 minutes and now he is on the bench again to rest a bit more.

  • Both teams have scored in all of Leipzigs previous 6 matches , while they have failed to score in only 2 of their 6 champions league games.Sporting have scored in all 6 games.

  • both teams to score in both halves
