RB Leipzig's Struggles
The Red Bulls have been struggling in Europe, with seven defeats in their last 17 matches. Their last Champions League match was a dismal 5-1 home loss to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, following a 1-0 loss at Inter Milano. However, they've managed to turn things around lately, with a 3-0 win over Eintracht Frankfurt and a 2-0 victory over Holstein Kiel.
Team News
Coach Marco Rose is still without key winger Xavi Simons due to injury. Left back David Raum, target man Yussuf Poulsen, and central midfielder Eljif Elmas are also set to miss out. But Xaver Schlager is available again in the engine room, providing a boost.
Motivation
With nothing left to play for in Europe, the Red Bulls will attack Aston Villa and aim to win, while trying to build some momentum.
Aston Villa's Form
Aston Villa have won their last two matches after a poor run, with a 1-0 win over Southampton at Villa Park being the most recent. They've managed to keep their opponents scoreless in both wins, which could be a promising sign for this match.
Team News
Aston Villa will be without Jacob Ramsey in midfield and Leon Bailey is carrying a hamstring problem. Ollie Watkins is expected to return to the XI in place of Jhon Duran in attack.
Motivation
Villa will play quite defensively but will try to nick a win and get closer to progressing to the next round.
What to Expect
RB Leipzig's record in the Champions League is poor, having lost all five of their matches this season. Aston Villa, on the other hand, have shown promising form in the competition with a solid defense and high passing accuracy. Given their recent wins, Aston Villa looks like the favorite to come out on top. Let's see if they can secure a crucial victory in Germany!
