Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Betting Tips (6 March)

It was tough for Real Madrid in the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig during the first leg victory 0-1. A match of crazy intensity but as often, despite the pressure, the Merengue ended up gaining the upper hand over the Germans who were nevertheless offensive and dangerous. For the record, Courtois' replacement goalkeeper, Lunin made 9 saves in the match, the record for a Real goalkeeper. In 7 LDC matches including group stage obviously, the White House has not known anything other than victory. Currently, the Merengue are riding a good dynamic of 9 games without defeat in all competitions and hold first place in La Liga with 7 points ahead of Girona. Winners of Sevilla FC 1-0, the Madrilenians were aiming for another victory in Valencia last weekend but were forced into a draw by the refereeing 2-2.

Full of good intentions in the first leg, Leipzig was confronted with cold Madrid realism in C1 by losing on the smallest of margins 0-1. However, everything is not to be thrown in the trash, far from it and there is clearly a card to play in this match even if no one has yet come to win at the Bernabeu this season. In the Bundesliga, the club under the Red Bull flag is clearly in the race for the top 4 which remains, as a reminder, qualified for the next UEFA Champions League but it will not play any better with a significant delay on the leader, Bayer Leverkusen. Before this trip to the Bernabéu, the RBL lost at the very end of the match against a very sick Bayern 2-1 but was able to bounce back on the Bochum pitch on Saturday 1-4. 5th in the Bundesliga, the RBL is 1 point behind 4th place.

Back on the training grounds, Courtois will not have the green light from the medical staff before April and will logically be forced to watch this poster from the stands like Alaba and Militao, also in the recovery phase. Rüdiger, for his part, made his return to competition against Sevilla FC while the top scorer in La Liga, Jude "Belligol" Bellingham (16 pawns) made his return last weekend against Valencia. Author of a magnificent goal in the first leg by reviewing the entire German defense, Brahim Diaz is much more than a simple substitute. He even became Carlo Ancelotti's supersub (7 goals, 2 assists TCC). Boys like Vinicius and Rodrygo are expected to tip the scales in favor of the madridistas.

On the other side of the median, senior defender Klostermann (out injured against Borussia Möchengladbach in the league) is still missing and the French Simakan is suspended (accumulation of yellow cards). There were chances in the first leg, notably Loïs Openda (16 goals, 4 assists in the Bundesliga) and the Slovenian international crack Sesko (7 pawns in the elite). However, the most convincing player in this team is the Dutch international, Xavi Simons (6 goals, 7 assists in the Bundesliga), who could well return to PSG next summer after the departure of Kylian Mbappé. The three men mentioned obviously remain the best assets of RasenBall Sport in trying to reverse the trend during this return match.
