Leipzig v Liverpool Betting Tips [23 October 2024]

Leipzig and Liverpool will renew their rivalry on Wednesday in the third round of the Champions League. Hosting this match, Leipzig will be gunning for their first win while Liverpool go in search of the third in three. Here’s our prediction as The Reds visit Die Roten Bullen.

While they’re unbeaten domestically, Leipzig have failed to transfer this form to Europe. They come here having lost to Atletico Madrid and Juventus in the first two rounds of this competition.

However, two straight wins in domestic action will fire them up here. The hosts are coming off a 2-0 win at Mainz.

Liverpool will be a hard nut to crack after a fine start to the season only blemished by the loss to Nottingham Forest. The visitors come here having beaten Leipzig in both earlier meetings, in 2021.

Mohamed Salah scored in both legs of that round of 16 tie. Coming into this game fresh from a 2-1 win against Chelsea will also motivate them. That was their seventh straight win, which ensured they stayed top of the league standings.

In the Champions League, they beat AC Milan and Bologna in the first two rounds. They come here with nine wins in their last 11 away Champions League matches.

Liverpool are definitely going into this match as favorites. They did stumble earlier in the season, losing a league game against Nottingham Forest but their recovery has been remarkable. The Reds come into this game with seven straight wins, including two in the Champions League.

That and their run against Leipzig will build their confidence. On the other hand, Leipzig have posted poor results in the Champions League and this will be a tough one for them. Our prediction for Leipzig v Liverpool is for Liverpool to win.
