RB Leipzig v PSVMatch centre →RB Leipzig host PSV in the UEFA Champions League on Tuesday, with kick-off at 19:00 UTC. Both teams have shown they can score plenty of goals, making this look like an evenly matched test for each defence.
Form guide
RB Leipzig sit fifth with nine points from five games, while PSV are second with 19 points from eight. Those different game totals are worth remembering when comparing their positions. RB Leipzig have scored 15 and conceded five; PSV have scored 26 and conceded 10. Recent results are not available, so those records do not tell us how either team has performed in the last few matches.
Players to watch
Christopher Nkunku has four goals and one assist in five games, giving RB Leipzig a clear threat up front. Antonio Nusa offers both scoring and creativity, with three goals and three assists in five appearances. For PSV, midfielders Guus Til and Sven Mijnans have five and four goals respectively, so RB Leipzig will need to watch more than just the forwards.
How it could be decided
With both teams carrying a goal threat, keeping the opposition’s main creators quiet could make the difference. PSV will need to limit Antonio Nusa’s influence, while RB Leipzig must track the scoring threat of Guus Til and Sven Mijnans from midfield.
Three things to watch
- • Tuesday’s kick-off is at 19:00 UTC.
- • RB Leipzig have conceded five goals in five games.
- • PSV’s Guus Til has five goals in eight games.
