RB Leipzig vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction

RB Leipzig were thrashed 5-0 by Manchester United in their previous Champions League game, and the subsequent loss to Borussia Monchengladbach has increased the pressure on the team. Manager Julian Nagelsmann will hope that this wobble does not lead to any significant drop in confidence, and a result against Paris Saint-Germain would be a welcome one.

Paris Saint-Germain, on the other hand, have not been consistent. The Parisiens did not enjoy the best of transfer windows in the summer, and that lack of investment could prove to be crucial, as injuries continue to pile up.

A close match is on the cards. With both German managers renowned for their tactical prowess, a draw seems to be a probably result for this fixture.

Prediction: RB Leipzig 1-1 Paris Saint-Germain
