Qualified for the quarter-finals of the DFB Pokal, RB Leipzig is also fighting for a place in the top 4 in the Bundesliga. After the first 18 days, he is in 5th place in the German championship, 1 length behind VfB Stuttgart (4th). The team coached by Marco Rose is not in great shape. After a defeat against VfB Stuttgart (2-1), it was hooked by VfL Bochum (3-3). In the Champions League, it’s very complicated for RB Leipzig. The German club lost in its first 6 days of C1. He is already certain to be eliminated at the end of the league phase.
RB Leipzig is already certain of being eliminated at the end of the C1 league phase.
This second part of the season promises to be exciting for Sporting CP. Despite their defeat in the League Cup final, they are still in contention for the quarter-finals of the Portuguese Cup and remain at the top of the Liga Portugal. Additionally, Rui Borges’ men are in the race to qualify for the knockout stages of the Champions League. They still had 3 successes in 6 days and are well established in the top 24. The Portuguese team will try to continue after this trip to Germany.
RB Leipzig will make do with a few absentees for this new day of the Champions League. Castello Lukeba, Benjamin Henrichs, Assan Ouédraogo, Xaver Schlager and André Silva will not play against Sporting CP. We will still have to follow a player closely in the ranks of the German club. Benjamin Sesko is having a great season so far. He still has 13 goals in all competitions. He scored 3 in the Champions League. Author of 2 goals and 1 assist in his team’s last 3 matches, Xavi Simons also arrives with confidence.
Viktor Gyökeres has been scoring goals with Sporting CP since the start of the season.
Concerning Sporting CP, Pedro Gonçalves and Nuno Santos will not be available. Obviously, Viktor Gyökeres will be the center of attention. The Swede has been a goal machine since the start of the season. He has nearly 33 goals in 31 matches, all competitions combined. Just that! We should also not forget to mention Morten Hjulmand, who remains valuable in the midfield of the Portuguese team.
-RB Leipzig clearly did not meet expectations in this phase of the C1 league. He was expected in the race for the top 24. However, the German club will not have hoped for very long, while he did not take the slightest after his first 6 days. He is already eliminated even before this new meeting. He could therefore arrive much less motivated than Sporting CP. The latter is in the middle of a fight for qualification for the play-offs.
