Liverpool vs RB Leipzig live stream

The current form of Liverpool is hardly anyone can envy, as well as the results in the English Premier League. In the status of the current champion, the Reds occupied the first line in December last year, mentally declaring to everyone their ambitions to repeat last year’s success, but for a number of reasons, Jurgen Klopp’s wards entered a crisis period and today occupy a modest eighth place in the standings.

At some point, some Merseyside fans started talking about the need to change the coaching staff, but the club’s management is unlikely to even consider such an option. Everyone is well aware that Klopp’s big headache was the regular injuries to the defensive players, and with this there were not just problems with the implementation, but also when creating dangerous moments. What can I say, if in the first match against Leipzig, which became a victory for Liverpool (2:0), both goals were conceded by the bulls only because of unforgivable mistakes of the defenders, who personally brought Salah and Mane to the striking positions.

Interestingly, since the first meeting with the team of Julian Nagelsmann, the Reds have won only one victory in the Premier League over Sheffield United, while the other three matches with Everton, Fulham and Chelsea ended in defeats for Liverpool. An interesting fact is that the Merseysiders often suffer all their failures in their own arena. The last six matches at Anfield have brought Liverpool only the bitterness of defeats, and before that there were two draws. A controversial statement, but perhaps playing on a neutral field will only benefit the reigning English champion, given the» enchantment » of Anfield. The only thing that can be safely stated is that for Liverpool now the Champions League is a priority, a victory in which can turn a disastrous season into a series with a beautiful end.

Leipzig is doing much better in the national championship than its future rival. The wards of Julian Nagelsmann continue to regularly collect victories, maintaining the status of the main competitor and pursuer of Bayern Munich in the fight for the gold medals of the German Bundesliga. Of course, the team of Hansi Flick is already the usual favorite to take the next championship in their trophy room, but the gap between Leipzig and the leader can not be called any critical. It is only two points.

If the results of Liverpool after the last match of the Champions League were extremely unsatisfactory, then Leipzig did not lose from that moment and put together another winning streak of four matches. In addition to the Bundesliga victories over Hertha, Borussia Gladbach and Freiburg, Nagelsmann’s team was also expected to be successful in the quarter-finals of the German Cup against Wolfsburg.

Success is success, but we must not forget that the last similar series of Leipzig of four victories was interrupted by Liverpool. In contrast, it is also impossible not to remember the group stage of the Champions League, when the «bulls» lost with a bang to another English club, Manchester United, in the first match with a score of 0: 5, and in the second leg won (3: 2), which became for them a ticket to the playoffs of the Champions League, while for Manchester United-a consolation ticket to the Europa League. Will you be able to repeat your feat with another grandee of the Premier League, who, in addition, has not recently impressed with his game? There are chances, despite the existing advantage of the opponent in two «guest» goals.
