RB Leipzig vs PSG is the first semifinal of this edition of the Champions League, which will be played on Tuesday, August 18, on “Estadio da Luz”, where we expect the Parisian group to make a figure beautiful.
It is one of the biggest surprises in recent years, given that it is still a team that four seasons ago played in the second tier in Germany. Since being promoted to the Bundesliga, however, it has not stopped impressing, finishing every time in a European place.
In the current season, the “red bulls” finished in third place in the domestic championship, securing a new qualification in the groups of the most important inter-club competition in the world.
In the Champions League, the team coached by Julian Nagelsmann shone, first winning a group with Lyon, Benfica, and Zenit. He then passed Tottenham, the finalist of the previous season, eliminating in the quarterfinals Atletico Madrid, one of the most important teams in Europe. In the nine games played in the competition, he scored 16 times.
The team from RB Leipzig does not have big team problems, only Ibrahima Konate being unavailable due to an injury, so they can approach the game with the best squad.
PROBABLE TEAM: Gulacsi – Angelino, Halstenberg, Upamecano, Klostermann – Kampl, Laimer – Nkunku, Olmo, Sabitzer – Poulsen
It is one of the most valuable teams in Europe, is far above the level of its opponent, and in terms of value, so it is not surprising that betting agencies give it as a favorite in this confrontation.
The Parisians “paraded” in the internal competitions, winning the title without emotions, also winning the French Cup, but also the League Cup.
But they have an extremely important goal, which they have been pursuing for years, namely to win the Champions League. This season they have a very good chance at least to qualify for the final, the first in their entire history.
In the group stage, like their opponents, they finished in the first place, over Real Madrid, Club Brugge, and Galatasaray. They then overcame Borussia Dortmund, eliminating Atalanta in the quarterfinals, winning 1-2 in-extremis, reaching 22 successes in the competition.
In the previous match, Keylor Navas was injured, so the Costa Rican goalkeeper will be replaced by Sergio Rico. It should be mentioned, however, that Di Maria (suspended with Atalanta) and Mbappe will start from the first minute.
PROBABLE TEAM: Rico – Bernat, Kimpembe, Silva, Kehrer – Gueye, Marquinhos – Neymar, Di Maria – Mbappe, Icardi
Leipzig shines this season, at least in the Champions League, with good morale after the success achieved in the quarterfinals with Atletico Madrid. PSG is still a more valuable, more experienced team, but also hungry for more performance, which has been looking for years to win the Champions League. We expect the Parisian group to confirm its favorite status and impose itself, that’s why we rely on its success, a odds of 1.79.
