Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Champions League match.
Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig preview
Real Madrid top the table of the Spanish La Liga with 7 points ahead of Girona. The last time Real lost a game (in regular time) was in September. However, recently, they haven’t managed to beat Rayo Vallecano (1:1) and Valencia (2:2). The side still tends to win their games, with 6 wins in the last 9 games in all tournaments (3 draws).
RB Leipzig are currently out of the Champions League qualification zone. They lost the game against Bayern Munich a couple of weeks ago. Now RB Leipzig are 1 point behind the 4th place. The problem was in January when they lost 3 games in a row.

Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig prediction
I believe that the home side should win this game. They have better conditions now. However, I don’t think that Real Madrid will manage to avoid conceding a goal. The Champions League is different from the domestic tournament.
I think that Real Madrid will manage to win the match, but RB Leipzig will resist.
