THE PREDICTION

Belgian league leaders Club Brugge will have been delighted with the fact they held PSG to a 1-1 draw on the opening week of Champions League fixtures and they will certainly not fear Leipzig here. The hosts were on the receiving end of a 6-3 defeat to last season’s finalists Man City in their own opener and simply have to put three points on the board here in what is an undeniably tough group. Christopher Nkunku grabbed all three goals in their defeat to Man City and he added a further two in Leipzig’s league match on Saturday so it could be worth backing the Frenchman to continue his form in front of goal here.

TIP: CHRISTOPHER NKUNKU TO SCORE ANYTIME
