Our prediction for the RB Leipzig vs Aston Villa match
"RB Leipzig" has been under the guidance of Marco Rose for quite some time now. Last season wasn't perfect, but the team managed to secure fourth place in the Bundesliga by beating Borussia Dortmund, despite selling key players in 2023. Similarly, Aston Villa finished in the same position in the Premier League, which was their best result in decades and another confirmation of the excellent decision to hire Unai Emery.
Currently, "RB Leipzig," having once again succumbed to the temptation of cashing in on a couple of their star players, started the Bundesliga season well but experienced a sharp decline in November. In the Champions League, things went badly from the start, with a loss even to Celtic in Glasgow. They failed to take a single point from matches against Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Liverpool, and Inter Milan.
Aston Villa is making their debut in the Champions League format. They started with victories over Young Boys, Bayern Munich, and Bologna, largely securing their place in the knockout stage. However, they later lost to Brugge 0-1 and ended their match with AC Milan in a goalless draw.
