RB Leipzig vs Juventus predictions

When Juventus hired Thiago Motta to replace Max Allegri as their manager over the summer, they expected the former Italy international to loosen the shackles and make the Bianconeri a more attacking team, even if that came at the expense of some of their defensive security.

In fact, Thiago Motta’s side have one of the most impressive rearguards in European football right now, while there is still room for improvement as far as their attacking output is concerned.

Juventus have conceded only one goal across seven games in all competitions. That strike was nothing more than a consolation, as PSV turned a 3-0 scoreline into a 3-1 defeat in second-half stoppage time on matchday one of the Champions League.

For the first time ever, Juventus have not conceded a single goal in their first six games in Serie A. However, they are not top of the league as, although they have won 3-0 three times, they have also drawn three matches 0-0.

The stylistic change is clear for all to see. Last term, Juventus ranked 12th in Italy’s top flight for possession and eighth for pass completion. So far in 2024/25, they are top of both categories.

Indeed, that is the primary reason for their watertight backline. Under Allegri Juventus often defended reactively, sitting behind the ball and giving up possession. These days they defend proactively by dominating the ball and pressing with intensity and aggression when they lose it.

As those three 0-0 draws illustrate, Juventus can at times be a little sterile, and that is something Thiago Motta will be looking to address. They may top the possession rankings, but Juve are a lowly 16th for shots per game, having mustered only 10.8 every 90 minutes compared to 14.1 in Allegri’s final campaign at the helm.

The first target for Thiago Motta is to make Juventus Serie A title winners again. Yet a run into the latter stages of the Champions League would not go amiss either.

This is an equally important game for RB Leipzig, who were beaten by Atletico Madrid on matchday one and have some tricky clashes with the likes of Inter, Liverpool and Aston Villa on the horizon.

RB Leipzig vs Juventus betting tips

Will RB Leipzig or Juventus come out on top when they butt heads in the Champions League?

Draw

That 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid last month remains RB Leipzig’s only defeat of the season, yet the German outfit have still been inconsistent. You never quite know which version of Marco Rose’s team will turn up.

For instance, Leipzig were magnificent in a 3-2 victory over Bayer Leverkusen, becoming the first side to beat Xabi Alonso’s men in domestic football since May 2023.

But the weekend before last, Leipzig were largely ineffectual in a 0-0 draw with Bundesliga new boys St Pauli.

The hosts should have some joy here, though. Leipzig are in their element when they can force turnovers and break forward at speed. There will be opportunities to do that against a Juventus outfit that wants to control possession.

Yet Thiago Motta’s charges are tough to beat, so both teams may have to settle for a point on Wednesday.

Under 2.5 goals

Juventus fans will hope that the team becomes more expansive and less risk averse as the season goes on, but Thiago Motta will not choose this moment to open up.

RB Leipzig love nothing more than frenzied, end-to-end encounters and Juventus will not want to play into their hands.

That could result in a cagey, tight affair at the Red Bull Arena, with both teams wary about the other’s strengths.

Juventus hit three goals past Genoa at the weekend, while Leipzig beat Augsburg 4-0. This is a step up for both, however, and defences could come out on top.

That is not due to a shortage of attacking quality, but rather the likelihood that the two managers will be relatively cautious with their game plans.

Dusan Vlahovic to score any time

A 0-0 would not be a huge surprise when these two teams go head-to-head, but both RB Leipzig and Juventus should create a few chances.

The match could be decided by whichever team is more efficient with the opportunities that come their way.

Step forward Dusan Vlahovic. The Serbia international is a fox in the box who can sniff out chances.

Even if he is quiet for periods of this game, his smart movement and finishing ability means he could be the match-winner.

Vlahovic, who has scored four goals in Serie A so far this season, is also Juventus’ go-to penalty-taker.
