Top Champions League predictions for Liverpool vs. RB Leipzig
The model is leaning over 2.5 goals in Wednesday's matchup between Liverpool and RB Leipzig. The Reds have had trouble scoring of late, as they've been held without a goal in three of their last four matches. They could erupt at any time, however, thanks to dangerous attackers in Mohamed Salah and Sadio Mane. Salah is the leading scorer in the Premier League with 17 goals and has 24 overall this season, while Mane ranks second on the team with 11 tallies.
RB Leipzig has performed well offensively since its first-leg match against Liverpool. The Red Bulls have outscored their opponents 11-2 during their current four-game winning streak, recording three goals in three of the victories. The team also has been generous on defense during Champions League play, surrendering at least two goals in four of its seven contests, which is one of the reasons the model is leaning toward the over on Wednesday.
