PREDICTION

RB Leipzig squandered a prime opportunity in Germany against a Bellingham-less Real Madrid side. Despite dominating significant stretches of the first leg, Marco Rose's team failed to convert their chances, resulting in a costly outcome. Now faced with a challenging away fixture in Madrid, they must overcome a considerable obstacle. With Bellingham's return, Real Madrid are poised to exhibit a marked improvement across all areas of the pitch, with the electrifying pace of Vinicius Junior and Rodrygo likely to create numerous scoring opportunities. Ultimately, the class of Real Madrid is expected to shine through, making it a wise decision to bet on them winning the second leg.
