- Venue: Red Bull Arena Leipzig
RB Leipzig got completely dismantled by Como last month. That brutal 4-1 thrashing was honestly just embarrassing to watch. Bouncing back at home is totally doable, though, especially since they're currently riding a dominant eight-match winning streak on their own turf. PSV Eindhoven managed a tough 1-1 draw in their opener, meaning both sides are hunting for a massive statement win to ignite their campaign. This has all the ingredients for a high-octane thriller. Let’s dig into the best betting angles.
This is the first-ever competitive meeting between RB Leipzig and PSV Eindhoven. With no previous head-to-head history, both teams are fighting for a historic first win.
RB Leipzig team overview
RB Leipzig prepares for this continental showdown on the back of a breathtaking, confidence-boosting 6-0 thrashing of Eintracht Frankfurt. The Red Bulls have been utterly sensational domestically, scoring 15 goals in five games to maintain immense pressure right at the peak of the Bundesliga standings.
Martín Demichelis's men are absolutely desperate to wipe away the bitter taste of last month's disastrous 4-1 opening Champions League defeat against Como.
Their performances at the Red Bull Arena have morphed into an immovable fortress. They are currently riding an incredibly dominant eight-match winning streak on home turf across all competitive stages.
A major catalyst behind this explosive form is Christopher Nkunku, who is playing out of his mind after firing a brilliant hat-trick in his last appearance.
Watching him slice open defenses has been pure joy, though the squad will have to navigate this clash without Assan Ouédraogo, who remains sidelined for the foreseeable future due to a persistent shoulder injury.

PSV Eindhoven team overview
PSV Eindhoven enters this crucial away match on the back of a 2-0 win over Heerenveen in the Eredivisie. The Lightbulbs have struggled defensively in recent months, boasting just one clean sheet in their last 14 competitive games.
The Dutch giants are firmly focused on building upon their hard-fought 1-1 draw against Shakhtar Donetsk in their opening Champions League game of the campaign.
Their form on the road remains a huge point of pride. Peter Bosz’s men won four of their last five games on enemy territory and didn’t lost any of the last seven such fixtures.
They'll continue to heavily rely on Guus Til, who has already racked up a stellar five goals in just eight league games this season. Bosz will be without both Alassane Pléa and defensive anchor Jerdy Schouten due to injuries.

Prediction
Leipzig is a terrifying beast at home right now. Hit Frankfurt for six and did also similar to Hamburg last month. PSV’s abysmal record of just one clean sheet in fourteen matches means their backline will get absolutely shredded by a red-hot Nkunku. Still, the Dutch side always finds a way to score. I’m expecting an chaotic, end-to-end shootout that will completely leave you breathless, but the Red Bulls will ultimately edge a thrilling 3-2 victory.
Three reasons we expect over 1.5 goals in the 2nd half of this game
- RB Leipzig scored 14 goals in their last three home games alone.
- Four of the last five games of RB Leipzig produced four or more goals.
- Five of the last seven games of PSV produced over 3.5 goals.
