Basaksehir vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Betting tips
Many German tourists travel to Turkey under normal circumstances. A trip to Turkey is usually pleasant and attractive for German football clubs too. The German teams lost only one of the last 14 home games played by Turkish teams against opponents from the Bundesliga. That should be a good omen for RB Leipzig’s appearance at Istanbul Basaksehir on Wednesday.
For the bulls, there is only one option to win anyway. In the table of this group, the Saxons are currently in third place behind Manchester United and Paris Saint-Germain. With wins on the Bosporus and at home against ManUtd, Julian Nagelsmann’s team would certainly be in the next round. So the cops still have everything in their own hands.
Istanbul, on the other hand, is dependent on mistakes by the opponents and also needs two wins. But it is more likely that the Turks will say goodbye to the Champions League after the preliminary round, because the best bookmakers give a clear forecast of a guest victory before the duel between Basaksehir and RB Leipzig.
The Leipzig team won the first leg in the Red Bull Arena 2-0, but did not do more than necessary to achieve this victory. It will be different on Wednesday. An open exchange of blows is expected in which both teams will fight for their chances. The guests tend to spend the better evening and that’s why we tend to tip the Bundesliga club between Basaksehir and RB Leipzig.
Basaksehir:
German teams are not the preferred opponents of Istanbul Basaksehir. So far, the Turks have played five matches against clubs from the Bundesliga and only won once. However, the second win is mandatory on Wednesday. With a defeat, the premature end of the European Cup would be sealed. Therefore, coach Okan Buruk will make his team really hot.
In the last few weeks things haven’t really been going well for the Turkish champions. The eleven from the Bosporus have been waiting for a win for three competitive games. There were two bankruptcies and only one poor draw. This is not the only reason why the odds comparison of the betting base casts the Turks out as outsiders. In general, in the duel between Basaksehir and RB Leipzig, the odds on a guest win seem to be the much better choice.
Basaksehir treads on the spot in the Süperlig. Currently only seventh place is on the books and again no ground could be made up at the weekend. Okan Buruk’s team led with a brace from Fredrik Gulbrandsen and a goal from Demba Ba 3-0. With two late goals in stoppage time it was only enough to draw a 3-3 draw against Genclerbirligi.
There are currently three players from Istanbul Basaksehir on the injured list of the premier class. Enzo Crivelli has problems with his thigh, Junior Caicara continues to struggle with an Achilles tendon tear. Also for Mehmet Topal an injury due to injury should not be an option. In addition, the Serbian Danijel Aleksic is in isolation after a positive test.
RB Leipzig:
At RB Leipzig, you can currently see very well that the many games with the triple burden go to the bottom. It is still going very well, because the Bulls are in second place in the Bundesliga table, are represented in the DFB Cup and have everything in their own hands in the premier class, but the Leipzigers are currently only rarely showing the well-known intoxicating style of play .
The appearances in the Champions League run under the motto: At home hui, away ugh. The six points came from home wins against Istanbul and PSG. In Paris and Manchester, however, there were two defeats. That would at least be an approach to make a prediction on the home side in the duel between Basaksehir and RB Leipzig.
Last weekend, Julian Nagelsmann’s team had a very difficult time against promoted Arminia Bielefeld, despite a flawless home record this season. Although the goals from Angelino and Christopher Nkunku looked like a clear victory, the Bulls’ defense went into a flood after the Ostwestfalen’s goal, but still brought the 2-1 lead to the goal.
On Wednesday in the Champions League, Julian Nagelsmann will have to do without Benjamin Henrichs (patellar tendon), Hee-Chan Hwang (isolation), Lukas Klostermann (knee surgery) and Konrad Laimer (bone edema). All the other actors are involved. Compared to the weekend encounter, numerous changes to load management are expected again.
