Leipzig vs Juventus Preview

Both sides earned convincing victories over the weekend but also had plenty of draws in September. I am expecting to see a very close encounter on Wednesday and these two powerhouses to share the spoils.

Leipzig have drawn 2 of their last 3 matches (Bundesliga).
Juventus have drawn 3 of their last 4 matches (Serie A).

Head to Head

This is going to be the first head to head match between Leipzig and Juventus.

Leipzig Form

After struggling throughout September, Leipzig have finally ended their three-game winless run last weekend by defeating Augburg 4-0 in Bundesliga.

Benjamin Sesko found the net twice in first half, Lois Openda and Xavi Simons also appearing on the scoresheet. The Bulls are now 3rd in Germany with 11 points from five matches.

Before that victory they had two goalless draws against St Pauli and Union Berlin, while losing the Champions League opening match to Atletico Madrid 2-1 in Spain, Sesko being the sole scorer.

Leipzig Injuries & Team News

One of the best Leipzig’s midfielders Xaver Schlager is injured and won’t be available for this match, as well as Assan Ouedraogo and Kevin Kampl, but these two were not expected to start.

Juventus Form

Juventus earned a commanding 3-1 home victory against PSV Eindhoven in their UEFA Champions League season-opening match two weeks ago, Kenan Yildiz, Weston McKennie and Nicolas Gonzalez finding the net.

After three consecutive goalless draws in Serie A against Roma, Empoli and Napoli, the Old Lady finally earned victory last weekend at Genoa 3-0, Dusan Vlahovic scoring a brace, Francisco Conceicao also on target.

Thiago Motta’s side has moved up to 2nd place on the Serie A standings, having collected 12 points across six encounters so far.

Juventus Injuries & Team News

Timothy Weah is tagged as doubtful, having recovered from an ankle injury.

Youngster Vasilije Adzic is injured but wasn’t expected to start anyway.

Verdict

RB Leipzig v Juventus

These two sides are in similar form recently, claiming convincing victories last weekend but with plenty of draws in September. This should be a close match with a high chance of spoils being shared.
