The Red Bulls have yet to win any of their previous games against Liverpool.
German powerhouse RB Leipzig host English giants Liverpool in round three of the UEFA Champions League 2024-25 at the Red Bull Arena Leipzig aiming to bounce back from their 3-2 loss against Juventus in the previous game.
RB Leipzig have suffered back-to-back losses in the competition. Marco Rose’s side started their tenure against Atletico Madrid which they lost 2-1 and then followed it with a 3-2 loss against Juventus. The loss against Juventus was very disappointing considering they were leading at one stage and had an advantage as the visitors played with ten men for most of the game. Hopefully, they will start winning games to seal their place directly in the last 16.
Meanwhile, Liverpool have made an encouraging start under their new manager Arne Slot who has managed to get the best of everyone so far. His team has won back-to-back games against AC Milan and Bologna and are looking like a well-balanced team this season. The Reds will be heading into this game in high spirits after securing impressive results against Chelsea in the last game as they occupy the top spot in the Premier League.
