RB LEIPZIG VS LIVERPOOL PREDICTION
Whilst Liverpool enter this round of 16 first leg tie having topped Group D, the Reds have recently suffered a huge dip in form domestically having lost their last three Premier League games heading into this contest. RB Leipzig came through a tough Group H that included the likes of PSG and Man Utd in order to reach the knockout stage. Julian Nagelsmann’s side won all three of their group games at the Red Bull Arena, however their home advantage has been eliminated with this match taking place at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, due to COVID-19 travel restrictions enforced by the German government. RB Leipzig have proven themselves as a formidable side going forward, but with 12 goals conceded over the course of the group stage and Liverpool having not kept a clean sheet in their last seven matches in all competitions, both teams to score is expected here.
