Today at 22:00 is the match between RB Leipzig and Liverpool from the 1/8 finals of the Champions League. Due to the restrictions imposed by the COVID-19 pandemic, the match will not be played in Germany, but will take place at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary. However, this should not matter much, given that in recent months all matches are played without spectators and the home advantage has virtually disappeared.
At first glance, Liverpool is identified as the favorite in this clash. In fact, however, the Merseysiders are facing a rather insidious opponent, which should not be underestimated in any way. Although participating in the Champions League only for the third time, RB Leipzig has already shown that it will be an important factor in the tournament. Last season the team reached the semi-finals and will now try to repeat this achievement. At the same time, Liverpool looks quite shaky this season, especially in the Premier League. Many injuries in the lineup of Merseyside had their impact and the team began to slip and slipped to 6th place in the standings, 13 points behind the leader Manchester City. Before today`s match the team is in an unpleasant series of 3 consecutive losses and now it will try to return to the winning path and regain its mood. Another interesting fact about this clash is that two of the best German coaches face each other in the person of Julian Nagelsman, who heads RB Leipzig, and Jurgen Klopp, who leads Liverpool. However, the two met only in the Champions League and this happened in the 2017/18 season in the playoffs to enter the group stage. Then the Merseysiders won both matches predicted by

All other players are online and available to Nagelsman. As mentioned, the problems in Liverpool are also serious. The permanently injured Virgil van Dyke, Joe Gomez, Joel Matip, Diogo Jota and Nabi Keita are missing. James Milner and Fabinho have minor injuries and their participation will be in question until the end. Thus, Klopp will once again have to reshape the team.
