RB Leipzig vs. Juventus preview: Team news and predicted lineups

Here is our preview of Wednesday's UEFA Champions League clash between RB Leipzig and Juventus, including our predicted lineups.

 

Fresh from a confidence-boosting 4-0 win over Augsburg, RB Leipzig welcome Juventus to the Red Bull Arena in the Champions League on Wednesday night.

Key attacking players Benjamin Sesko, Lois Openda and Xavi Simons all got on the scoresheet as Leipzig moved up to third in the Bundesliga table.

The win was much-needed and ended a three-match winless streak, which included a 2-1 opening Champions League defeat to Atletico Madrid.

Juventus, meanwhile, are unbeaten this season under new head coach Thiago Motta and sit second in the Serie A standings after a 3-0 win over Genoa at the weekend, having not conceded a goal in six league games. 

Juventus' Champions League opener against PSV was also a success, with 'The Old Lady' winning 3-1 at home.

On the injury front, RB Leipzig remain without Kampl (thigh), Ouedraogo (knee) and Schlager (knee). Milik (knee) is a doubt for Juventus.
