Welcome to Sportstar’s live coverage of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 match, RB Leipzig vs Liverpool, from the Red Bull Arena in Leipzig, Germany.
MATCH PREVIEW
Although Leipzig is second to Bayern Munich on goal difference in the Bundesliga, the Champions League is another story, albeit with a tough draw.
Leipzig conceded late goals to lose away at Atletico Madrid and at home against Juventus.
The Saxon side has yet to claim a point in Europe this season, making Wednesday’s clash with the Premier League leaders even more important.
Like Liverpool, Leipzig’s strong league form this campaign has been built on a miserly defence.
Leipzig has kept clean sheets in six of seven league games. The two goals it did concede came against Bayer Leverkusen in a game Leipzig won 3-2, the defending champion’s first defeat on German soil in 15 months.
Starting the campaign under Klopp replacement Arne Slot, Liverpool has conceded just three goals in eight league games this season, by far the best mark in the Premier League.
