RB Leipzig will be looking to do the double as they travel to Crvena Zvezda in Group G of the Champions League. The Serbians are often tricky opposition at home but Leipzig will be relying on their superior quality and should have the upper hand on Tuesday.
Crvena Zvezda have found things difficult in Group G of the Champions League as they are still seeking their first win after three matches. They have just one point and suffered a 3-1 defeat to RB Leipzig last time out in the competition.
It has been a struggle for Crvena Zvezda finding the balance between the Champions League and their domestic engagements, where they have done well so far. They have lost just once in their last nine matches across all competitions and earned a 3-1 win over Radnik Surdulica in a Super Liga fixture last weekend.
Another thing that will give Crvena Zvezda confidence ahead of Tuesday’s clash is their home form having gone unbeaten in their last nine matches at the Red Star Stadium. However, Barak Bakhar’s men have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last four home matches, conceding six goals in that run.
RB Leipzig do not head into Tuesday’s clash in the best form having lost their last two matches across all competitions. First, they were beaten 1-0 by Wolfsburg before suffering a 2-0 defeat to Mainz in a Bundesliga fixture last weekend.
The task for RB Leipzig as they travel to the Red Star Stadium will be to snap that run of defeats. Marco Rose’s men had claimed three straight wins prior to that run and will be looking to channel those results on Tuesday.
Despite their recent results, RB Leipzig will still travel to Serbia with confidence having won two of their three Champions League matches so far. However, they have been unconvincing at the back and are without a clean sheet in all three fixtures.
