Monaco vs RB Leipzig Prediction & Betting tips
It will be extremely exciting on Tuesday in the Stade Louis II, where the AS Monaco and RB Leipzig face each other on the fifth matchday of the Champions League group stage. Who loses, can definitely say goodbye to the knockout round of the premier class. In a draw, both are probably out. Only the winner will have the chance to reach the round of the last sixteen on the last matchday.
Monaco :
After selling off in the summer, when AS Monaco has handed over a number of top performers, it becomes clear, especially in international comparison, how much these departures have weakened the club. Of the four previous games in the Champions League group stage, Monaco have not won one. It would have been expected after the semifinals last season that the Monegassen could secure in a group with RB Leipzig, FC Porto and Besiktas Istanbul at least second place. The reality is two draws in Leipzig and last Besiktas and two home defeats against the Turks and FC Porto. Despite two points and the last place Monaco still has opportunities for the knockout phase. Prerequisite is a win on Tuesday, with the Monaco would ever pass by Leipzig. If Porto does not win in Istanbul, the Monegas will then receive their final in Portugal on the final day of the match.
However, Monaco lost at home direct comparison with Porto with 0-3 and since the match between Besiktas and the Portuguese already takes place at 18:00 clock, it could go in a Portuguese victory for Monaco anyway only about the Europa League. The dress rehearsal on the weekend did not succeed. In newly promoted Amiens Monaco did not go beyond a 1-1. In Ligue 1, the gap to leaders PSG grew to six points. The lead over pursuer Olympique Lyon, however, is only three points. While it is not running in the premier class at home and both games have been lost, the Monegas come at least in the national league in the home Stade Louis II on a 5-1-0 balance at 21: 4 goals. But this also makes it clear once again how difficult the departures in the summer weigh on European parquet.
RB Leipzig:
RB Leipzig got an excellent starting position on the last matchday of the Champions League group stage. After the Red Bulls had won the first leg against FC Porto at home 3: 2, the Germans were defeated in Portugal with 1: 3. Thus, RB Leipzig lost not only second place to the Portuguese, but also the direct comparison. Nevertheless, the chances of getting ahead are there. The gap to FC Porto in second place is two points. A win in Monaco is actually already mandatory, if it should be something with the round of 16. On the final day of the match, RB Leipzig will welcome Besiktas Istanbul, who may already have qualified. However, the Red Bulls are also threatened with the complete international ban. On the other hand, if RB Leipzig loses on Tuesday, then the club will find themselves in last place one game day before the end of the group stage.
Also RB Leipzig came in his dress rehearsal not a draw, but had away with Bayer Leverkusen the much heavier opponent. Thanks to two penalties, the Red Bulls led twice, but in the end they had to settle for a 2-2. It seemed the game after the 2: 1, preceded by a handball by Benjamin Henrichs and a red card for the Leverkusen, actually decided. But RB Leipzig made in the connection too little and the compensation for Leverkusen was earned in the end. Away from home, the shoe at RB Leipzig is pushing a bit anyway. In Bundesliga and Champions League RB Leipzig conceded so far a total of five defeats. All these bankruptcies were abroad. In four of these five away defeats, the Red Bulls did not even score a goal. In the Champions League RB Leipzig comes after four matchdays on only five hits, but met after all in three of these four games.
