Tipster’s Angel

This heavyweight clash is expected to be a high scoring encounter. By considering the recent form, Leipzig are having an edge over Liverpool. But Liverpool are more likely to qualify for the next phase as they are already leading the tie by two goals.

Tip: Draw No Bet Leipzig @ 2.10

Despite the fact that Liverpool won the first leg of this round of 16 clash by two goals to nil away from home. This is the only head to head match that these two teams have played against each other. In the last five matches, Liverpool have won just two matches and have lost three matches. They are coming into this fixture with two back to back losses in the Premier League. Also, Liverpool have lost all their last five home matches. Apart from the first leg loss to Liverpool, Leipzig hasn’t lost a single match in their last nine matches. Apart from that, Leipzig have just lost one match in their last five away matches played in all competitions. So it is more likely that Leipzig might win this match with a draw no bet at 2.10 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Leipzig Win or Draw & Over 1.5

Both the teams have excellent goal scoring threats who can score at regular intervals. Over 1.5 goals were scored in the first leg of this fixture. Over 1.5 goals were scored in three of the last five matches that Liverpool played in all competitions and also they lost three of those matches. In the last five matches that Leipzig played in all competitions, Leipzig won four matches and over 1.5 goals were scored in all five matches. Similarly, over 1.5 goals were scored in all the last five away matches that Leipzig played and also Leipzig were unbeaten in four of those matches. In the form that Liverpool are in currently, Leipzig are more likely to fancy their chances to win the match and we could see at least two goals in it at 2.05 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

Liverpool are in the driver’s seat after the first leg after scoring two away goals, but they are really struggling to score at home as they have scored just one goal in their last five home matches. If Leipzig could explore this weakness, then they have a really good chance of wiping the deficit of two goals and making it to the next round.
