Top 5 predictions for RB Leipzig vs. PSG | UEFA Champions League 2021-22

#3 Kylian Mbappe to outshine his teammates

Kylian Mbappe is one of the best in the business and has enjoyed a terrific start to his campaign with PSG. The French superstar has been in a rich vein of form, racking up six goals and eight assists in all competitions. There is no doubt that Mbappe is PSG's most decisive player at the moment.

Mbappe was pivotal against Leipzig in the reverse fixture, playing a part in PSG's all three goals. The 22-year old scored a stunner and provided an assist to Messi before winning a penalty which resulted in Messi's second goal.

Mbappe is the driving force for the Ligue 1 giants with the ability to change the tie at any moment with his talent.

While Messi and Neymar are yet to reach their full potential this season, PSG's hopes will be with Mbappe to grab the headlines. Our guess is that Mbappe will not disappoint and Leipzig won't be able to contain him.

#2 RB Leipzig's unorganized defense to aid PSG attackers

It seems RB Leipzig are still reeling from the loss of their star defender, Dayot Upamecano, to rivals Bayern Munich. The Bundesliga side are known to play attacking football but their woeful defense has been a point of major concern this season.

Leipzig have conceded a whooping eleven goals from their three Champions League matches this campaign. Manchester City scored six against them while PSG scored three, showing how woeful Leipzig's defenders have been this season.

There is a distinct lack of organization in Leipzig's defense which leaves the forwards to take advantage of it. They are likely to concede goals against PSG unless they show a massive improvement at defending.

#1 PSG to grind another win in a closely contested thriller

PSG have assembled the best squad in Europe which explains their superiority over their opponents so far. The talent pool in their team is massive and their squad depth is unmatched in Europe. With such firepower in their arsenal, it is hard for any team to secure a victory over the Parisians.

Leipzig, on the other hand, are desperate to keep their slim hopes in the Champions League alive with a victory. It will be an uphill battle to register a victory but they will gain confidence from the closely contested affair in the reverse fixture.

Considering the high stakes, it is expected to be an entertaining contest once again between these two teams. Our guess is that PSG will once again perform in a similar fashion and secure a hard-fought victory.
