Como vs RB Leipzig: Predictions, Picks, Odds & Stats

Como host RB Leipzig on Thursday, September 10 (3:00 PM ET / 2:00 PM CT / 12:00 PM PT).

RB Leipzig travel to Como’s home ground without three regulars: the thigh-injured Rocco Reitz, the knee-injured Romulo Cruz and the injury-hit Assan Ouedraogo are all ruled out, thinning Leipzig’s options through the middle of the park. Como, meanwhile, have no fresh fitness concerns of their own heading into this Champions League league-phase fixture.

Both clubs open this season’s league phase level on points, with neither side having kicked a ball in the competition yet, so first impressions will count for plenty. Como’s status as the more fancied side at home, paired with a Leipzig back line short of three first-team options, sets up a game that should open up and produce goals at both ends rather than a cagey stalemate.

Season Form & Standings

This is a blank-canvas opener for both clubs in this season’s Champions League league phase — Como and RB Leipzig sit level at 0 points from 0 games played, with a goal difference of 0 apiece before a ball is kicked.

Recent domestic form. Here’s how each side arrives domestically ahead of the European opener:

Potential Match-Winners

• Nico Paz (Como): Como’s creative hub opened his account against Genoa at the weekend and is the home side’s likeliest source of a goal or an assist.
• Anastasios Douvikas (Como): Level as Como’s top scorer with two in the opening Serie A rounds, the striker gives them a focal point up front.
• Ridle Baku (RB Leipzig): Leipzig’s early top scorer with two goals, a direct, driving threat from the right.
• Christopher Nkunku (RB Leipzig): Back among the creators this season, he supplies the cutting edge in behind.

Como vs RB Leipzig Prediction

Both clubs sit level at 0 points from 0 games in the league phase, so this is as much about first impressions as recent history. Como’s home advantage and Leipzig’s short-handed squad point toward a home win with goals at both ends — call it 2-1 to the hosts, with the total edging over 2.5.
