Leipzig vs Aston Villa Match Preview – UEFA Champions League Prediction & Betting Tips 10/12/2024
Leipzig vs Aston Villa: UEFA Champions League Prediction Match Details
On Tuesday night, the Champions League action continues with Aston Villa traveling to face RB Leipzig at Red Bull Arena Stadium. Can the Villains capitalize on winless Die Roten Bullen to build on their hope of booking an automatic qualification?
Leipzig Preview & Form
RB Leipzig’s performance in the Champions League has been disappointing, as the Die Roten Bullen have lost each of their opening five UCL matches, leaving their chances of qualifying for the playoffs hanging. The German side are among the three clubs in the Champions League yet to earn a point after five matches, alongside Slovan Bratislava and Young Boys, and they have conceded ten goals in the competition. However, they come into this game on the back of improved form, having won each of their last two competitive matches, which ended a seven-match winless run across all competitions. Their winning streak started with a much-needed 3-0 victory against Eintracht Frankfurt in the domestic cup and then followed it up with a 2-0 win over Holstein Kiel in the Bundesliga.
Aston Villa Preview & Form
Aston Villa will head to Germany with the hope of cementing an automatic qualification in the Champions League, with the Villains being one of the surprise packages of this Champions League season, recording three wins, one draw, and just a single defeat. The Villains started their Champions League campaign with a three-match unbeaten run but stumbled on matchday four against Club Brugge. Their most recent Champions League match ended in a goalless draw against Juventus at home, and Unai Emery will be hoping his side can return to winning ways in the competition. However, they are currently in solid form, having won each of their last two games. They snapped a 3-1 win over Brentford and then followed it up with a narrow 1-0 over Southampton in their last game.
