Game Preview

The Bulls have five losses in that many Champions League games and are hammered to the bottom. They have little time to make things right, and that has to start with this event.

After five winless games, they’ve finally gained some ground, beating Eintracht in the DFB Pokal 3-0 and Holsten Kiel in the Bundesliga 0-2.

Villa also recovered after a terrible period in which the former European champions failed to win in eight consecutive meetings. Five were defeats, and three ended in ties.

Unai Emery’s crew had back-to-back home events, winning both, 3-1 against Brentford and 1-0 vs. Southampton. However, we need to say they weren’t particularly confident in the latter one.

Lineups & Injury News

Elmas, Lukeba, Poulsen, Raum and Xavi Simmons are out for the home team.

Jacob Ramsey is the only one unavailable for Emery.

RB Leipzig vs. Aston Villa Head to Head

There were two recorded friendly games, one in 2019, when Villa won 1-3, and the other this summer when Leipzig triumphed 2-0.

RB Leipzig vs. Aston Villa Prediction

Leipzig has to attack here because it has nothing left to lose. Villa isn’t in great shape either, and that’s why we believe Emery plans defensive-minded tactics. Due to all this, our pick is moderate efficiency, 2 or 3 goals.

• RB Leipzig vs. Aston Villa pick: 2 or 3 goals
