RB Leipzig vs Liverpool predictions

In what was billed as their biggest test of the season so far, Liverpool ran out 2-1 winners against Chelsea on Sunday.

That result kept them atop the Premier League table ahead of this weekend’s trip to Arsenal, while Liverpool are one of seven sides with maximum points heading into matchday two of the Champions League.

In other words, Arne Slot has had a near-perfect start to his Anfield tenure. The biggest compliment you can pay the Dutchman is that no one is missing Jurgen Klopp at the moment.

Of course, it will be tough for Slot to match Klopp’s achievements over a nine-year spell in which he made Liverpool champions of England and Europe, all while forging a deep and meaningful bond with the club’s supporters.

Yet it is really impressive how quickly Slot has fitted in. He is a different character to Klopp and he has a different approach to football too, but he has not ripped up everything that his predecessor laid down.

That is smart. Liverpool were consistently one of Europe’s best teams under Klopp. On Sunday we saw the sort of quick transitions that were a feature of Liverpool’s play throughout the German’s time in the dugout.

It is still early days, but Slot looks to have given Liverpool more control. Their games are now rarely end-to-end and the Reds are perhaps not quite as fun for neutrals to watch these days, but Slot’s strategy has helped them win 10 games out of 11 across all competitions.

Nottingham Forest remain the only opponent to have beaten Liverpool so far, but a trip to RB Leipzig is one of the toughest challenges Slot has faced in his new role.

Leipzig are level on points with Bayern Munich at the top of the Bundesliga having taken 17 points from the first 21 available, but it must be pointed out that they have struggled in the Champions League up to now.

Leipzig lost 2-1 to Atletico Madrid on matchday one, before going down 3-2 to Juventus last time out. They will be desperate to get off the mark this week.

RB Leipzig vs Liverpool betting tips

Liverpool are going strong under Arne Slot but a trip to RB Leipzig this week will not be straightforward.

Draw

Liverpool will host Bayer Leverkusen and Real Madrid in their two European matches in November. Neither of those games will be easy, although the Reds will always back themselves to beat anyone at Anfield.

A win here would put Slot’s charges in a commanding position as the midway point of the league phase approaches, but on balance we feel they may have to settle for a point.

It is true that Leipzig have lost two out of two so far, but Atletico Madrid needed a last-gasp winner to get past them on matchday one, while another late goal did for them against Juventus.

Both of those matches were close and Leipzig have also beaten Bayer Leverkusen so far this term.

Liverpool deserve to be favourites but a draw would not be a disastrous result for them on Wednesday.

Tip a draw at 8/11 with bet365

BTTS in second half

RB Leipzig have kept a clean sheet in six of their seven Bundesliga encounters to date, a statistic which suggests they are tough to break down.

Yet that is not necessarily the case when they play top teams. Indeed, each of Bayer Leverkusen, Atletico Madrid and Juventus have scored at least two goals against Marco Rose’s men.

Liverpool have scored 13 goals in the first half of matches this season and 12 in the second half. But given Slot’s preference for control, they may aim to be relatively cautious in the opening 45 minutes before pushing forward a little more after the interval.

Leipzig are also unlikely to go gung-ho early on. They desperately need something from this game and they will not want to be picked off in the first half.

A goal at both ends from minutes 46 to 90 is a distinct possibility.

Go for both teams to score in the second half at 6/4 with bet365

Darwin Nunez to score any time

Diogo Jota was forced off in the first half against Chelsea, but his replacement Darwin Nunez did a good job after entering the fray.

The Uruguay international has only started three matches in 2024/25 and he must be chomping at the bit to show what he can do under Slot.

Nunez is an unreliable finisher and he will no doubt continue to frustrate at times, but he can also cause opponents real problems.

He looked sharp against Chelsea and, provided he is involved for a large chunk of this game, we like his chances of finding the net.

Back Darwin Nunez to score any time at 13/10 with bet365
