RB Leipzig meets Real Madrid in the UEFA Champions League Round of 16. The venue is the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, where these two units met over a year ago. Back then, RB had more success. Will history repeat itself?
RB Leipzig News
The Bulls aren’t in good form. One win in the last five games, all since after the pause, indicates problems in their performances. From what we saw, the defense is the key to all this, with the back line allowing 11 goals during this span. The most recent fail was against Augsburg on the road, 2-2.
The Bulls traded blows with the hosts, but in the crucial moments, we didn’t see them making that extra push to break the rivals. To make things even worse, Openda missed a penalty in the late phase, which could have been the game-winner for RB.
Real Madrid News
Real completely erased the shock from the Atletico Madrid game, beating their direct title contenders, Girona, 4-0. It was a display of ruthless domination, which could have been even more convincing if Joselu converted the penalty in the 90th minute.
They have only one defeat in the past 27 matches, and overall, two during this campaign, both coming at the hands of Atletico Madrid. Apart from being invincible, Los Blancos look as if they have enough room to improve. Jude Bellingham is better from game to game, and the Englishman really looks like the best player on the planet at the moment.

The hosts are motivated for this event, but they don’t have the quality to compete against Real. Apart from that, they aren’t in good shape, unlike the guests who are coming at full speed to East Germany. Therefore, Real’s win here is the best pick.
