International cups are a highlight for most teams. Both RB Leipzig and Paris Saint Germain are looking forward to this Champions League fight to decide who advances from the Group Stage.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Leipzig and Paris Saint Germain.
These teams have little in common geographically as Paris Saint Germain have to travel 900 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.
RB Leipzig form and stats
Last season, Leipzig's Champions League journey ended in the 8th finals.As mentioned below, RB Leipzig are feasting on a winning streak here so far with maximum points from their first 3 Bundesliga games. Leipzig are on a three game winning streak in their home games.
In their previous game, the manager J. Nagelsmann led his Leipzig to a defeat in the Bundesliga match away at Borussia M'gladbach. The manager is hoping to put things right immediately here at Red Bull Arena. Prior to that, an away loss at Manchester United in the Champions League.
There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Leipzig, as the Bundesliga home game vs Freiburg is only three days away.
Goals are plentiful at Red Bull Arena in the league this season as Leipzig has scored 9 goals here in 3 home games. From these home matches, Leipzig have conceded only 2 goals.
Paris Saint Germain form and stats
They also participated in Champions League last season. This ended in the 8th finals.The visitors are W4-D0-L1 on the road this term. That's in the Ligue 1. Impressively, the visitors are on a seven-match winning run which they hope continue versus RB Leipzig. Paris has been amazing away for a time now, winning four in a row on their travels. The last time they went home with a point loss was against Lens.
308 minutes! That's how long the Paris goalkeeper Keylor Navas Gamboa and his defense have shut out their league opponents.
Paris Saint Germain play their second away game in a row, but can be confident going into this one after the 3-0 victory visiting Nantes. Prior to that result Paris won their away game at Istanbul Basaksehir in the Champions League. The scoreline was 2-0.
A quick return to home after this game, as Paris Saint Germain are hosting Rennes in the Ligue 1 only three days away.
The Paris manager T. Tuchel has got the team scoring on the road, with 12 away goals in 5 league matches. The Paris defense is a tough nut to crack, having conceded less than half a goal per away game on average (1 goal in 5 games).
