RB Leipzig take on the visitors Real Madrid in the first leg of UEFA Champions League 1/8-finals. The match will be played on Tuesday, February 13th at Red Bull Arena (Leipzig).
RB Leipzig stumbled at the start of last season - it was then that Rose became the coach. Of course, Marco remembered this and did everything not to step on the same rake. As a result, despite the forced sale of several leaders in the summer (by the way, the Germans built their business precisely on this), they managed to start the 2023/2024 season decently. The highlight was the 3-0 victory over Bayern in the Super Cup. Moreover, in the Champions League, the German representative won all four matches against nominal outsiders of the group. On the other hand, they failed to secure points against Manchester City, even when the latter had already secured their place. And on the domestic front, the two-time cup winners were knocked out of the current competition in the fall. In the Bundesliga, they faltered in January, finding themselves behind Borussia Dortmund after a series of defeats. The battle for fourth place between them promises to be extremely intense.

Real(Madrid are definitely setting maximum goals. The Whites won several trophies last season. But they finished behind Barcelona in La Liga and were defeated in the Champions League semifinals, making that year unsuccessful for them. Now, Carlo Ancelotti with his charges, reinforced by the successful acquisition of Bellingham, is trying to make up for it on both fronts. There's an unexpected competitor in La Liga in the form of Girona, but the gap from Atletico and Barcelona inspires optimism. Now they will also need to exert themselves in the Champions League. The Spanish giant was very convincing in the fall and predictably dominated their group. However, it's important to remember that the opponents in their group were at most Napoli, and the Serie A winner has now become the biggest disappointment in Italian football. Now will be the real test of their professionalism, and Atletico have repeatedly shown in 2024 that they can compete with the galacticos and they are not perfect defensively.
This is another pair playing for the second season in a row. They also crossed paths in 2022 in the group stage. There, the Germans, after an expected 2-0 loss in September in the Spanish capital, then won 3-2 at home in October. It's tempting for the Royal Club to settle everything in Germany. But the hosts understand that their chances of overcoming the favorites will only be realized with success at home. In the end, we can expect an interesting game and bet on total over 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Over 2.5 scored goals.
