Head to Head

This is the first encounter between these sides.

Leipzig Form

Leipzig are one of just three sides yet to claim a Champions League point. Five straight defeats leaves the Bundesliga outfit six points off the play-off qualification spots.

Marco Rose’s side had a tough November, failing to win a single match in six attempts and drawing once. They improved in early December and ended their winless streak with a 3-0 home win over Eintracht Frankfurt.

The German team made it two wins from two after cruising to a 2-0 away triumph against Holstein Kiel. Benjamin Sesko and Andre Silva scored in each half as Leipzig had 1.76 XG.

Leipzig Injuries

Defensive trio El Chadaille Bitshiabu, David Raum and Castello Lukeba are unavailable due to injury.

Midfielders Xavi Simons, Eljif Elmas and Assan Ouédraogo and forward Yussuf Poulsenare also sidelined through injury.

Aston Villa Form

Aston Villa made a positive start to their Champions League campaign and sit ninth in the table. The Villans beat Young Boys 3-0, Bayern Munich 1-0 and Bologna 2-0 in their opening three games.

Villa followed the Bologna win with an eight-match winless run, including a 1-0 loss at Club Brugge and a 0-0 draw with Juventus. The Midlands side then lost 3-0 at Chelsea before defeating Brentford 3-1 at home.

Unai Emery’s side notched another victory on Saturday, comfortably defeating Southampton 1-0. Jhon Durán hit the winner on 23 minutes and Villa were in control with 2.51-0.39 XG.

Aston Villa Injuries

Midfielder Jacob Ramsey and forward Leon Bailey have been ruled out here with respective injuries.

Verdict

RB Leipzig v Aston Villa

Leipzig and Aston Villa will want to keep the momentum, a hard-fought draw likely in an even Champions League contest.
