Leipzig will be determined to post the three points on the board at any cost this Tuesday. The reason being they are included in a tough group along with reigning champions Real Madrid, and if they hope of moving into the knockouts, they will have to defeat opponents Shakhtar Donetsk this gameweek.Â
The Red Bulls had secured a fourth place finish the previous season in the German top flight and they deserve special appreciation for having held on to the much coveted fourth position.Â
In fact at the end of the campaign they had a surplus of just one point over the fifth placed team and as expected the race for UCL qualification had gone till the last match day.Â
It needs to be mentioned that they had found the back of the net in plenty all through the run and especially so in front of their home crowd they had been a menace for visiting squads.
Meanwhile Shakhtar Donetsk come from the domestically disturbed Ukraine and they are also going through a poor stretch of performances as of now.
Taking into account these observations expect a victory for Leipzig this Tuesday.Â
