THE PREDICTION
RB Leipzig suffered a 4-0 loss on the road to Eintracht Frankfurt in the Bundesliga at the weekend and will be desperate to put that defeat behind them as quickly as possible. They will get the chance in this Champions League clash with Shakhtar Donetsk with the Ukrainian side needing to be prepared for a response. The visitors have won their last two Premier League matches but this is a different challenge altogether and with Leipzig generally difficult to beat on home soil having lost just one of their last 10 league games at Red Bull Arena, the hosts are favoured to come out on top in this affair.
