Peter Bosz’s side haven’t kept a clean sheet on the road this season, scoring 13 goals with six conceded.

Their last away game ended in a 3-2 defeat at Twente, unable to close it out after two goals to Guus Til established a 2-1 lead.

Predicted Lineups & Team News

Leipzig (4-2-3-1) Maarten Vandevoordt; Benjamin Henrichs, Willi Orbán, Castello Lukeba, David Raum; Ezechiel Banzuzi, Neil El Aynaoui; Andrija Maksimovic, Christopher Nkunku, Antonio Nusa; Rômulo

Assan Ouédraogo and Christoph Baumgartner are both injured alongside Marc Guiu. Benjamin Henrichs could replace Ridle Baku at right-back.

PSV Eindhoven (4-1-4-1) Matej Kovár; Sergiño Dest, Ryan Flamingo, Armando Obispo, Mauro Júnior; Kodai Sano, Noah Fernandez; Ivan Perisic, Guus Til, Ruben van Bommel; Sven Mijnans

Ivan Perisic could return to the starting side ahead of Esmir Bajraktarevic. Forwards Sam Lammers, Ricardo Pepi and Alassane Pléa are all injured.

Kiliann Sildillia is out until January and Jerdy Schouten is gone for the season after suffering a cruciate ligament injury. Midfielder Paul Wanner is dealing with a foot injury to add to Bosz’s problems.

Verdict

RB Leipzig v PSV

Leipzig;s home form and superior squad has to be taken into account here. The German club are deserved favourites here and it could pay to follow Christopher Nkunku in the goalscorer markets.
