Command Analysis
RB Leipzig
GermanyCurrent Form
RB Leipzig faced a challenging opening match in the Champions League with an away game against Atletico Madrid. The Bulls took the lead first but ultimately could not maintain their advantage, conceding a second goal in the 90th minute. Overall, the team managed to withstand Madrid's pressure effectively, but their opponents displayed excellent finishing, converting two out of four shots on target.
In the match against Atletico, Benjamin Šeško scored the goal. The Slovenian player poses a significant threat in attack, having netted four goals and provided three assists in seven matches this season.
Leipzig can be pleased with their Bundesliga start under Marco Rose. After five rounds, they remain unbeaten with three wins and two draws. With 11 points, Leipzig is currently in third place. However, they have experienced difficulties in breaking through the defenses of well-organized teams. They were unable to penetrate the backlines of Union and St. Pauli, resulting in two scoreless draws. Next, the Bulls will face a similar type of opponent, which raises some concerns.

1.72Tip and bets
RB Leipzig started their Champions League campaign on a strong note despite a loss to Atletico. Today presents a tough challenge for the Bulls as they face an in-form Juventus, who have yet to concede a goal in the league and came close to a clean sheet against PSV. Observations from their Bundesliga matches reveal that Marco Rose's squad struggles when confronted with a well-organized defense. We believe bookmakers may be slightly overestimating the home team's capabilities, as tactical play against the Old Lady poses difficulties.
Our prediction is a Juventus victory with an Asian handicap (0) at odds of 2.27
Total Bet
When considering a total bet, we can't overlook Juventus' impressive defensive performance. The Turin side has not conceded a single goal in the last six Serie A matches, allowing opponents to score only during stoppage time against PSV. It's unlikely that Leipzig will manage to find the back of the net more than once today.
Our second bet is on Leipzig's individual total goals being under 1.5 with odds of 1.68.
First Half Bet
Juventus tends to take a measured approach on the pitch. In four of their last five matches, the first half ended with a score of 0-0, which is a possibility we anticipate for today as well.
Our prediction is a draw in the first half with odds of 2.25.
