Liverpool continues their Champions League campaign on Wednesday as they travel to RB Leipzig, hoping to secure their place in the round of 16.

RB Leipzig

Heading into their third game of the Champions League campaign, RB Leipzig are still looking to secure their first win.

Their first match saw them lose 2-1 to Atletico Madrid, followed by a thrilling 3-2 loss at home against Juventus. 

Hoping it will be third time lucky; a home tie against another tough opponent in Liverpool is no easy task. 

Currently occupying 29th position in the table and on 0 points, a win is a must should the German side want to be in with a chance of getting through into the round of 16.

Liverpool

Two wins from two, Arne Slot’s Liverpool are well on their way to the next round of the newly formatted Champions League.

A 3-1 victory away against AC Milan first time out was followed up by a 2-0 win at Anfield against Bologna. 

The Reds have secured six points from six and are one of seven teams in the competition to have a perfect win record.

They are the favourites heading into the tie, especially off the back of the 2-1 win against Chelsea at the weekend.

Match details

RB Leipzig vs Liverpool History

The German outfit has played their visitors on Wednesday night a total of three times previously.

It is Liverpool who have won each of the meetings, with Leipzig yet to score a goal against them.

They last faced each other in July 2022 in a friendly match, which saw Liverpool win 5-0. 

Their other two meetings were in the Champions League in the 2020-21 season, and Liverpool won the away and home tie 2-0.

RB Leipzig vs Liverpool Betting Tips

Leipzig may sit second in the Bundesliga, but carrying league form into the Champions League is proving harder than first thought. I am backing the visitors to win the tie and secure three wins from three, with goals from both sides.
