THE TEAM NEWS
RB LEIPZIG
Marco Rose has plenty of options up front, with Lois Openda, Timo Werner, Benjamin Sesko and Yussuf Poulsen all competing for a spot in the front two, while Dani Olmo could start after coming off the bench in the weekend Bundesliga win over Darmstadt.
El Chadaille Bitshiabu and Willi Orban have both been ruled out of this fixture.
PREDICTED XI (4-2-2-2): Blaswich; Henrichs, Simakan, Lukeba, Raum; Haidara, Kampl; Simons, Forsberg; Openda, Sesko
UNAVAILABLE: Orbán (Injured), Bitshiabu (Injured)
QUESTIONABLE:
CRVENA ZVEZDA
Osman Bukari - who has scored in both of Crvena zvezda's Champions League games so far - is a doubt to feature, and his potential absence would be a huge blow to the Serbian side's hopes.
Bachar Barak has no other injury concerns to deal with when it comes to his Champions League squad.
PREDICTED XI (3-4-1-2): Glazer, Djiga, Dragović, Rodić, Mijailović; Stamenic, Hwang; Ivanić, Mitrović, Lučić; Ndiaye
UNAVAILABLE:
QUESTIONABLE: Bukari (Injured)
THE PREDICTION
Crvena zvezda have acquitted themselves well in both Champions League games to date, having taken the lead (although ultimately losing) against Man City and salvaging a draw with Young Boys. The Serbian side have never won away from home in the competition though, and Leipzig managed to get back on track over the weekend with their win at Darmstadt. They had previously gone winless in three games in all competitions, so that will have given them a boost ahead of this contest. A home win is predicted here.
TIP: RB LEIPZIG TO WIN
