5 reasons why RB Leipzig will beat Liverpool in the UEFA Champions League
Leipzig kicked off their Champions League campaign with a last-minute defeat to Atletico Madrid. This was followed by a 3-2 loss against 10-man Juventus, but given their start to the Bundesliga season, there are plenty of reasons to think they can put three points on the board against Liverpool.

1) Big game? No problem
Leipzig are unbeaten in the Bundesliga after seven matches this season, with five wins and two draws. They have conceded only twice, in their game against Leverkusen in which they ended the Invincibles’ unbeaten streak.
Whilst their Champions League record this season leaves something to be desired, Leipzig will be hoping to bounce back and prove they belong up there with the best, despite an incredibly tough opening run of fixtures in Europe’s elite competition. Their victory over Leverkusen showed they’re not shy of turning up in a big game and that they can handle the pressure. Two goals from Loïs Openda and one from Kevin Kampl ensured Leipzig put an end to Leverkusen’s run, doing so in their own back yard at the BayArena too. There is no reason these heroics cannot be repeated against a very strong Liverpool side.
