With hopes of keeping their unblemished Champions League campaign alive, Liverpool will face RB Leipzig at Red Bull Arena this Wednesday.
First-half goals from Xabi Simons and Victor Orban were enough to secure their team a valuable three points on the road against Mainz, meaning that RB Leipzig remain neck and neck with Bayern Munich at the top of the table with an equal number of points. However, Die Roten Bullen's Champions League campaign has not started as per their lofty ambitions, as they are yet to collect their first points after suffering a 1-2 defeat to Atletico Madrid on the opening day before succumbing to a seven-goal thriller at home against Juventus.
Despite facing a challenging test over the weekend, Liverpool successfully passed it with a narrow 2-1 victory against Chelsea, which helped them maintain their lead at the top of the Premier League table, but just one point ahead of four-time champions Man City. In contrast to their midweek hosts, the Reds can boast a flying start to the new format of the Champions League as they first celebrated a stunning 3-1 victory over AC Milan at San Siro before following it up with a routine 2-0 win against Bologna in matchday two.
RB Leipzig vs Liverpool Betting Tips: BTTS
It’s no surprise that Liverpool carries the favorite tag, but we hope that RB Leipzig won’t easily allow themselves to leave with zero points after three European matches, so we expect the German outfit to make this contest thrilling. In the opening two Champions League matches, Die Roten Bullen demonstrated their scoring prowess with ease, but their sloppy defense has left them still searching for their first points as they have fished the ball out of their net on five occasions so far.
Facing a high-flying rival arrives at a difficult time for the German squad since the Reds have displayed remarkable form under Arne Slot’s leadership, recording 10 wins out of 11 matches in all competitions. On the road, Liverpool still didn't drop a single point, picking up five wins on the bounce and netting 11 times during that span, so they will be eager to stretch their wild form away from home and move closer to the knockout rounds of the Champions League. Even though Liverpool's defense has proven difficult to breach this term, we believe that RB Leipzig will find a way to strike them at the back, yet it is also hard to envision how they can withstand the attacking forces possessed by the English giants.

Liverpool team news
Liverpool's first-choice goalkeeper Alisson Becker will be sidelined for a while due to a hamstring injury sustained in the last league match before the international break, leaving Caoimhin Kelleher to fill the gap.
Young midfielder Harvey Elliott is gradually returning to training but it is still too early for him to feature against RB Leipzig, while Portuguese forward Diogo Jota remains a doubt after his early exit in Saturday’s 2-1 victory over Chelsea.
