The UEFA Champions League is back in action with another round of matches this week as RB Leipzig lock horns with Carlo Ancelotti's Real Madrid side at the Red Bull Arena Leipzig on Tuesday.
RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid Preview
RB Leipzig are currently in eighth place in the Bundesliga standings and have struggled to impose themselves this season. The home side played out a 3-3 draw against FC Augsburg over the weekend and will need to take it up a notch in this match.
Real Madrid, on the other hand, are at the top of the La Liga table at the moment and have been in exceptional form so far this season. Los Blancos eased past Sevilla by a 3-1 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this week.

RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid Prediction
Real Madrid have thrived under Carlo Ancelotti's tutelage and are arguably one of Europe's best teams at the moment. Karim Benzema and Vinicius Junior have stepped up to the plate this season and will want to make a different this week.
