RB Leipzig are set to face Juventus in an exciting Champions League group stage clash at the Red Bull Arena on Wednesday.

Juventus enter the match undefeated this season, while Leipzig aim to secure their first win in the competition after a late defeat in Madrid.

RB Leipzig are currently enjoying a strong start to their domestic season. Despite their narrow 2-1 loss to Atletico Madrid on matchday one, the German side have bounced back, remaining undefeated in the Bundesliga.

They recently secured a convincing 4-0 win over Augsburg and will be confident playing at home.

Injury and Team News

Leipzig will be without Kevin Kampl and Assan Ouedraogo, who are sidelined due to injuries. Xaver Schlager is also set to miss out, while Eljif Elmas could be fit enough for the bench.

Juventus Recent Form

Juventus have been defensively solid this season, conceding just one goal so far. Their 3-1 win against PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League, followed by a 3-0 victory over Genoa in Serie A, puts them in a strong position heading into this clash.

Injury and Team News

Juventus could be without Timothy Weah and Arkadiusz Milik due to injury. Dusan Vlahovic, who scored twice against Genoa, is expected to lead the attack once again, supported by Teun Koopmeiners, Nico Gonzalez, and Kenan Yildiz.
