Champions League betting and spectator preview: RB Leipzig and Club Brugge meet at Red Bull Arena to measure strength and learn who makes it to the next stage.

RB Leipzig form and stats

Nkunku scored two goals, served one assist, hit three key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 1 times and had 18 successful passes (of 21 total).
