Leipzig began their campaign by securing a commendable victory over Young Boys, displaying the quality and determination of Marco Rose’s side. However, they suffered a setback against Manchester City, despite showing promise in the match.
Domestically, Leipzig rebounded with a 3-1 victory over SV Darmstadt 98, highlighting their resilience. They currently occupy fifth place in the Bundesliga, firmly in the race to secure a Champions League berth.
Red Star Belgrade’s return to the Champions League group stage is a significant moment for the club. While they have dominated Serbian football, their past attempts in the competition have fallen short. This time, they received direct qualification, and they are eager to make their mark.
In their initial match, Red Star stunned Man City with a half-time lead, but the Premier League giants fought back to secure a 3-1 win. A late equalizer against Young Boys keeps their hopes alive as they head to Germany.
RB Leipzig remain without Willi Orban and El Chadaille Bitshiabu due to knee injuries. However, their squad appears to be in good shape. Marco Rose may consider starting Peter Gulasci in goal for match fitness, while Benjamin Sesko, Dani Olmo, and Timo Werner are potential starters.
Red Star Belgrade face uncertainty regarding the fitness of star forward Osman Bukari, who has been impressive in the Champions League this season. With two goals in two games, his absence could be a significant blow. Filippo Falco is sidelined due to injury, and Peter Olayinka might step up in attack.
RB Leipzig Possible Starting Lineup:
Gulasci; Klostermann, Simakan, Lukeba, Lenz; Schlager, Kampl; Forsberg, Olmo; Sesko, Werner
Red Star Belgrade Possible Starting Lineup:
Glazer; Mijailovic, Djiga, Dragovic, Rodic; Stameric, Hwang; Olayinka, Ivanic, Mitrovic; Ndiaye
In what promises to be a closely contested match, RB Leipzig are motivated to secure all three points and bolster their chances of progressing from Group G. Red Star Belgrade, however, have shown resilience and determination, making them no pushovers.
We predict a 3-1 victory in favour of RB Leipzig, primarily due to their quality and determination. While Red Star may pose a threat, Leipzig’s depth and experience should see them through.
