Manchester United and RB Leipzig get a break from their league challenge to fight for a possible trophy in this Champions League Group Stage fixture.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Everyone involved with the away team has to get their travel gear ready for this match as there's a whopping 1300 kilometers to cover before arriving at the match.
Manchester United form and stats
Manchester was eliminated in the quarter-finals last season in the Champions League. Barcelona was too strong.Three Premier League home games done for Manchester United, who are not happy collecting 1 point from these matches.
A draw after 90 minutes last time out for Manchester, who played 0-0 against Chelsea. That match was also played at this venue (Old Trafford). In the game before, an away victory in the Champions League match versus Paris Saint Germain with a 2-1 scoreline.
The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams. It could be relevant to look at how Manchester have performed in matches similar to this (as small favourites). Our database has found four matches with the results: Won one, drawn two and lost one.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Arsenal are coming to town in four days.
Manchester United have scored 2 league goals here from 3 matches, not a lot. As for conceded goals, Manchester's unpleasant statistic is 9 goals surrendered. Manchester's defense is seriously deficient as 9 goals have been conceded in these matches.
RB Leipzig form and stats
Leipzig's mission in Champions League last season failed in the 8th finals.Four points from two away games for RB Leipzig, meaning one draw and one victory in the Bundesliga so far. RB Leipzig are enjoying a nice run from their away games now, having played nine in a row without losing.
The supporters enjoyed Leipzig's previous game versus Hertha BSC, a Bundesliga 2-1 win played at home. Prior to that match, a home win 2-0 against İstanbul Başakşehir in the Champions League.
A victory against Hertha BSC as mentioned above, but the margin of victory could have been bigger as RB Leipzig hit the posts three times. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager J. Nagelsmann when Marcel Sabitzer scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 69th minute.
As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found three similar matches played by Leipzig in our archives, and the results are: one win for RB Leipzig, two draws and zero defeats.
The schedule is very tough for RB Leipzig now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Bundesliga game at Borussia M'gladbach is waiting in only three days.
As for goals scored and conceded in the league games away so far, RB Leipzig has managed 3 goals and let in 1 from 2 matches.
