The likes of Marcel Sabitzer and Yussuf Poulsen both offer varying threats going forwards, making the German side&#8217;s approach highly unpredictable.<\/li>\n<li>Under Nagelsmann, Leipzig have become experts in an intense high press and rank third in the Bundesliga for possession won in the opposition final third (74 times). This press also makes them lethal on the counter-attack, with Leipzig scoring more goals from this situation (5) than any other Bundesliga side this season.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-1113840 size-large\" src=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/11\/04135617\/PA-48041155-1024x601.jpg\" alt=\"Timo Werner\" width=\"1024\" height=\"601\" srcset=\"https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/11\/04135617\/PA-48041155-1024x601.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/11\/04135617\/PA-48041155-300x176.jpg 300w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/11\/04135617\/PA-48041155-768x451.jpg 768w, https:\/\/media.squawka.com\/images\/en\/2019\/11\/04135617\/PA-48041155-66x39.jpg 66w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Weaknesses<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>RB Leipzig&#8217;s entire existence to date has been predicated on developing young talent, then flipping them for a higher price. As a result, they now have the youngest average starting XI in the Bundesliga at just 23 years and three months. While this makes them dynamic, mobile and exciting, the naivety it brings also leads to a number of individual mistakes, with Leipzig making the second-highest number of errors leading to shots (7) in the German top flight this term.<\/li>\n<li>Leipzig only know one way to play and that is all-out attack. While this has brought Nagelsmann&#8217;s side much success so far, it does leave them at great risk when trying to defend leads as, well, they just don&#8217;t try to. Die Roten Bullen continue to play high-risk passes and insist on working through the press, even as they take a one-goal lead into added time. It&#8217;s commendable that they stick so strongly to their mantra but heading into the Champions League knockout rounds, this is definitely something opponents could seek to exploit.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Julian Nagelsmann was 16 years old when Jos\u00e9 Mourinho won his first Champions League title with FC Porto in 2004.<\/p>\n<p>Now they go head-to-head in the last 16. <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/UCLDraw?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">#UCLDraw<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/FkrNW4qDnb\">pic.twitter.com\/FkrNW4qDnb<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Squawka (@Squawka) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/Squawka\/status\/1206538455003680774?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">December 16, 2019<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Prediction<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>While Spurs look like they&#8217;ve been given the easiest draw of the English clubs on paper, their clash with Leipzig will be anything but a sinch.<\/p>\n<p>The Bundesliga outfit are mobile, dynamic, unpredictable and extremely confident and if Mourinho doesn&#8217;t have his side pumped and at 100 per cent on the day, they could easily be swept aside by Nagelsmann&#8217;s high-octane brand of football.<\/p>\n<p>That said, Mourinho himself is ridiculously well-versed in tough Champions League clashes and is a tactician of the highest order.
