RB Leipzig vs Paris SG Prediction & Betting tips
There are still three matches to be played at the Champions League final tournament in Lisbon and it is already clear that the winner will definitely come from France or Germany. While Olympique Lyon and FC Bayern face each other in the second semifinals on Wednesday evening, the day before in the first semifinals there will be a match between RB Leipzig and PSG. The odds of the best bookmakers are clearly in favor of the Parisians.
The fact that the implied role of favorites in this tournament does not have a lot of meaningfulness became clear when Atletico Madrid or Manchester City were eliminated. Also in the duel between the two German coaches Julian Nagelsmann and Thomas Tuchel, a surprise in the form of the Bundesliga club’s progress seems anything but unrealistic.
Between RB Leipzig and PSG, for example, the fact that Sabitzer and Co. made an extremely strong impression in the quarter-finals against Atletico speaks for a prognosis on the Saxons. The French champions, meanwhile, needed two last-minute goals to knock underdog Atalanta Bergamo out of the competition.
The crucial question before the first semifinals will now be whether Mbappé, Neymar and Co. are already feeling too safe and are already playing through a potential final against Bayern with their heads? In addition, Julian Nagelsmann knows his German counterpart on the opposite side inside out and will therefore give his protégés a master plan. Before the game between RB Leipzig and PSG, a tip on the outsider is therefore quite attractive.
RB Leipzig:
Plauen, Energie Cottbus II or Torgelower SV – that was what RB Leipzig’s opponents were called less than eight years ago. Shortly after it was founded, the “Red Bulls” had to assert themselves in the Oberliga and Regionalliga Nordost and fix their promotion to the third division via relegation. Meanwhile, the Saxons have reached the top international, more precisely among the top four of the most important European club competition – and fully deserved it.
Thanks to a 2-1 win against Atletico Madrid, the upstart from the can empire is in a European semi-final for the first time in the club’s history. Although RB Leipzig is treated as a clear underdog against PSG according to the odds, the path for the protégés of coach Julian Nagelsmann (33 years), who Didier Deschamps (35) should be able to take over as the youngest final coach of the Champions League, should be able to not be over yet.
If Marcel Sabitzer and colleagues present themselves on Tuesday evening in a similar state to the aforementioned win against the Spanish capital city club, we believe that the third of the previous Bundesliga season can do a lot. The white-reds have not lost for seven matches in the premier class (five wins, two draws) and also underlined against the Rojiblancos that a lack of experience at this level can be compensated for by a high degree of meticulousness and tactical finesse.
In fact, after Timo Werner’s departure to Chelsea FC, we would declare Julian Nagelsmann as the main actor in the RB orchestra. The tactic fox once worked as an analyst for Thomas Tuchel and knows his philosophy down to the smallest detail. It is quite possible that the coach will work out a good plan with which the Leipzigers can at least contain the Parisian strengths.
The fact is that RB expects a different match than against the more defensive Spaniards. The defensive around defense chief Upamecano will be challenged more, which will, however, also lead to more spaces in the switching game. If you don’t want to make a forecast on the three-way market between RB Leipzig and PSG, the “Both Teams to Score” is recommended.
PSG:
The fact that Paris St. Germain can still dream of the title in the premier class is thanks to stoppage time in the duel with Atalanta Bergamo. The French turned a 0-1 deficit into a 2-1 victory and thus made it back to the semi-finals of the Champions League for the first time since 1994/1995. At that time, by the way, they failed unspeakably against AC Milan. This time, the leap into the final should be only the second French club after Monaco.
The Sheikh Club primarily builds on the individual quality of the numerous stars. Above all, the return of Angel di Maria after being suspended and the currently suspected starting line-up of Kylian Mbappé, who has been ailing for a long time, ensure that the internationally extremely experienced Paris team is seen as the clear favorite.
But this is exactly the role that “Les Parisiens” has held back time and again in the past. At the same time, we imagine it is extremely difficult mentally to motivate ourselves for a semi-final or to find the right attitude, although everyone around the star ensemble is actually talking about the final against FC Bayern.
These soft facts contrast with the statistics, which show, among other things, that Paris has not been without its own hit in the premier class since 2016. In 33 successive encounters, the men from the Prinzenpark always marked at least one goal. To make matters worse, on Tuesday, keeper Navas will be injured. Verratti and Kurzawa are also not available.
