Real Madrid face Leipzig at Estadio Bernabéu with both teams seeking Champions League success. Real Madrid are perfect at home this season, scoring 19 goals in six matches, while Leipzig have lost their last four away games and come into this match after a heavy 6-1 defeat to Bayern Munich. The predicted outcome is a Real Madrid win with both teams to score, given Madrid's strong home form and Leipzig's recent defensive struggles on the road.

HTH


Real Madrid have a 2-1 advantage against Leipzig alongside one draw. 

Real Madrid Perfect at Home


Real Madrid have won nine of their 11 matches under José Mourinho, the only issues coming on the road. They lost 1-0 at Real Betis and 2-1 at Atletico Madrid to fall off the pace in La Liga.

Los Blancos have won al six games at home, scoring 19 goals with four conceded. The last clash at Estadio Bernabéu came on Sunday, a 4-1 win against Sevilla with Kylian Mbappé scoring twice.

José Mourinho’s side have been involved in two thrillers in the Champions League, starting with a 2-1 win against Inter Milan. They were down 3-1 in the 83rd minute at Roma, scoring three late goals to secure a 4-3 win victory in Italy.

Road Woes for Leipzig


Leipzig have been outstanding at home this season, winning all four matches games with 15 goals scored and none conceded.

Martin Demichelis’ side won 6-0 at Trier in the German Cup but have lost all four away games since. One of those came in the Champions League, a 4-1 defeat at Como.

The Saxony club are coming off a humbling 6-1 loss at Bayern Munich. They were completely outplayed and were 6-0 down in the 69th minute.

Predicted Lineups & Team News


Real Madrid (4-2-3-1) Thibaut Courtois; Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konaté, Antonio Rüdiger, Álvaro Carreras; Federico Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni; Yan Diomande, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior; Kylian Mbappé

Raúl Asencio and Ferland Mendy remain out injured but Éder Militão is close to a return. Rodrygo is expected to return in January.

Denzel Dumfries should start at right-back with Mourinho lacking faith in Trent Alexander-Arnold. Antonio Rüdiger could replace Dean Huijsen in central defence.

Vinícius Junior is expected to come back into the starting side which could see Arda Güler make way.

Leipzig (4-2-3-1) Maarten Vandevoordt; Ridle Baku, Willi Orbán, Castello Lukeba, David Raum; Neil El Aynaoui, Nicolas Seiwald; Brajan Gruda, Christopher Nkunku, Antonio Nusa; Romulo

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

Demichelis went defensive in Munich and it backfired, so he is caught between a rock and a hard place for this one.

Verdict

Leipzig have lost four straight away games, conceding an alarming 15 goals. That’s bad news with a trip to Estadio Bernabéu set to end in a heavy defeat to Real Madrid.
