On Wednesday evening, from 20:00, Tottenham and RB Leipzig duel in the first round of the finals of the UEFA Champions League. The British finished in second place in Group B, following Bayern Munich, while the Germans won Group G and are first in the spring of UCL. Under the command of Julian Nagelsmann, the Germans are impressive!
Spurs is the team that received the most goals in the group stage, but to this statistic it fully contributed that 2-7 administered to the Londoners by Bayern Munich. Historically, Tottenham have problems ahead of their rivals in Germany, and Leipzig hopes to take advantage. However, Tottenham are starting to play better under the command of Jose Mourinho, who has reached only one point in the Top 4, in the Premier League, being also “one foot” in the quarterfinals of the England Cup. There, in the next game, Spurs duel with Norwich City.
Tottenham is a team often involved in spectacular matches at UCL, as is Leipzig, who comes to play a counterattack game in London. Leipzig defeated Werder Bremen by 3-0 at the weekend, thus achieving their first success after four consecutive matches in all competitions. At one point the leader of Bayern, in the championship, the white-red band is engaged in the fight on two fronts and has an impressive offensive this season.
If the British are in a series of 7 consecutive matches without defeat, Leipzig has been a bit more inconsistent lately, but he hopes that Werner (on the starting line) and Forsberg will be decisive in the attack, in this move. The hosts can not count on the injured Kane, Sissoko and Foyth, and in the English attack will find the newly acquired Bergwijn, along with Son and Moura. RB Leipzig cannot count on Kampl, Konate, Orban and Upamecano.
The statistics recommend an open match, with goals and corners, especially since in the 3 trips of Leipzig this season UCL have executed at least 9 hits every corner. It will be the first match for RB with a team from England, but Nagelsmann’s team is skilled in the European doubles, where it has prevailed 5 times in 6 attempts. In the same chapter, Tottenham checked 5 wins and 3 failures in the four doubles matches against the Bundesliga teams. We will see a coaching match between two teams with quality players.
Tottenham Hotspur: Lloris; Aurier, Alderweireld, Sanchez, Davies; Alli, Winks, Lo Celso; Son, Moura, Bergwijn
RB Leipzig: Gulacsi; Mukiele, Klostermann, Halstenberg; Sabitzer, Haidara, Laimer, Angelino; Nkunku; Werner, Poulsen
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,54
