Red Bull Arena will host Tuesday’s Champions League encounter between Leipzig and Real Madrid.

The Red Bulls are hungry for revenge, but they face a difficult task in the Group F derby. Christopher Nkunku should be recalled to the starting XI after scoring as a substitute in a 3-3 draw with Augsburg, whilst all Gulasci, Klostermann, and Laimer should miss out through injuries.

Los Blancos, on the other hand, are eager to cement top position in the standings, and seeing that they are four points clear of Leipzig, Carlo Ancelotti’s troops should be happy with one point from the match.

Key attacker Karim Benzema is definitely sidelined with injury, meaning that Rodrygo will lead the line for the Spanish champions.

Both Mariano Diaz and Dani Ceballos remain in the recovery room, but first-choice goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois is back after missing the Shakhtar game.

Prediction: X2.
