Liverpool vs RB Leipzig: Predictions
Liverpool are in terrible form in the Premier League having lost six of their last seven games following the defeat to Fulham on the weekend. Injuries have continued to mount up for Jurgen Klopp with Jordan Henderson’s return unknown after the midfielder had to have surgery following an injury sustained against Everton.
Although the Reds carry a healthy advantage into the game at the Puskas Arena, Leipzig will be encouraged by Liverpool’s horrific home form this year. No side in the Premier League has a worse home record since the turn of the year than Liverpool with six consecutive defeats at home in the league. Since their 64-game unbeaten run at Anfield came to an end Klopp’s side have not won there once.
Leipzig continues to pressure Bundesliga leaders Bayern Munich and Julian Nagelsmann’s side have scored three goals in all three of their league games since their European defeat to Liverpool. Leipzig continued that run with an emphatic 3-0 win away to Freiburg on Saturday which maintained their spot in second place and the two-point gap to leaders Bayern Munich.
