HTH

Leipzig have a 1-1 record against Real Madrid.

They met in the group stage last year, Real Madrid winning 2-0 in Spain and Leipzig winning 3-2 in Germany.

Leipzig Form

Leipzig ended January with three straight defeats, inexplicably losing two straight at home. They lost 1-0 against Eintracht Frankfurt and 3-2 to Bayer Leverkusen.

Marco Rose’s side went on a road and suffered a 5-2 defeat at Stuttgart. It was a deserved loss after managing just four shots including two on target.

Leipzig got back to winning ways by beating Union Berlin 2-0, Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko on target. They drew 2-2 at Augsburg on Saturday, Openda's late penalty saved.

Leipzig Injuries

Midfielder Amadou Haidara is doubtful.

Real Madrid Form

Real Madrid have won ten of their last 13 matches. They won the Super Cup before a semi-final defeat to Atletico Madrid in the Copa del Rey semi-finals.

Carlo Ancelotti’s side won three straight in La Liga before a 1-1 draw against Atletico. Brahim Díaz put them ahead before conceding in the 92nd minute.

Los Blancos crushed Girona 4-0 on Saturday to establish a five point lead at the top of La Liga. Vinícius Júnior and Rodrygo scored either side of a brace to Jude Bellingham.

Real Madrid Injuries

Goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is injured alongside defenders David Alaba, Antonio Rüdiger and Eder Militão. Nacho is doubtful.

Midfielder Jude Bellingham suffered an ankle sprain against Girona and is out.

Verdict

RB Leipzig v Real Madrid

Leipzig can score here but the German have been susceptible in defence. Real Madrid won all six group stage matches and Vinicius Junior can help to continue the run in the Round of 16.
