Real Madrid: Unstoppable

It has been a brilliant start to the campaign for Carlo Ancelotti’s troops, winning all seven of their games across three competitions. And they did it in style, scoring at least two goals on each occasion. Real Madrid will be without striker Karim Benzema who was forced off the pitch in the Champions League opener against Celtic.

It is still unclear how long he will be out of action, with reports suggesting that it could be anything between a week and a month. Thus, the only thing that Real Madrid fans can do is wait and hope for the best. He will definitely miss this clash plus the Madrid derby against Atletico, but he will surely come back after the international break.

Lucas Vazquez is yet another absentee for the home team after limping off with an injury in a 4-1 win over Mallorca. Still, Real Madrid should have enough to extend their winning streak so we will include them in our soccer picks and parlays.

Hazard started at center-forward against Mallorca in Benzema’s absence but found it difficult to impress, so Rodrygo could be deployed through the middle here. If not for the Benzema injury, Madrid would be higher favorites going into this match.

Real Madrid was one of the best teams against the counter-attack last season and they will probably use their weapons right with Vinicius Junior expected to find the back of the net.

RB Leipzig: Revived?

The Bundesliga side kicked off the UCL season with a shocking 4-1 home defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk. They sacked manager Domenico Tedesco hours after the disappointing loss, just a few months after the Italian guided them to the first major silverware in the club’s history.

Marco Rose has been appointed as RB Leipzig’s manager on a two-year deal. He took charge of the hosts for the first time last weekend against Dortmund and things got off to a perfect start. RB Leipzig stunned Borussia Dortmund 3-0 with goals from Willi Orban, Dominik Szoboszlai and Amadou Haidara, but the man of the match was Konrad Laimer, who was brilliant in the middle of the park.

Unfortunately, he got injured and he will miss this clash against Champions League reigning champs Real Madrid. We expect RB Leipzig to find the back of the net against Los Blancos, who conceded in all five La Liga matches at the start of the season. But, if you’re betting online, avoid backing them to pull off the upset.

Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig Head-to-Head

Real Madrid has been in formidable form in the early exchanges of the season, both domestically and on the continent, winning each of their first seven matches. Los Blancos have been far from perfect defensively this term and both teams have scored in five of their last six fixtures across all competitions. The hosts have scored at least twice on each of their seven fixtures. This is the first competitive meeting between the two sides.

Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig Betting Lines

Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig Prediction

The hosts enter this clash as heavy favorites at -190 on the three-way money line according to the latest soccer odds while the goal line is set at three.

Real Madrid should have enough to add three more points to their group tally but the price has no value so we will avoid the moneyline. Defensively, Los Blancos have not been rock-solid but they always win games by having superb attacking firepower. On the other side, RB Leipzig returned to winning ways after replacing their manager and they will enter this clash full of confidence. They are still one of the best Bundesliga sides and the attacking duo Christopher Nkunku and Timo Werner should be able to find the back of the net on Wednesday.
