RB Leipzig Preview – Will the Red Bulls’ unbeaten run continue?
RB Leipzig are sitting pretty in fourth place in the Bundesliga right now, collecting 48 points from 28 games. They are involved in a fierce battle for a UEFA Champions League spot, with just four points separating Leipzig, Freiburg and Hoffenheim right now.
The Red Bulls were knocked out of the Champions League at the group stage. However, after starting with three straight losses, Leipzig took seven points from the last three, drawing with Paris Saint-Germain and beating Manchester City in the process.
Leipzig have been on an excellent run under new boss Domenico Tedesco, unbeaten in all competitions since losing to Bayern Munich in the league back in February. Can they extend their undefeated run to 11 with a win in Europe on Thursday?
Atalanta Preview – La Dea to return to Italy with a positive result?
Atalanta were also knocked out of the Champions League in the group stage, winning one, drawing three and losing two of their six fixtures. In the Round of 32 of the Europa League, La Dea got the better of Greek side Olympiacos. Gian Piero Gasperini’s troops then beat Bayer Leverkusen in the last 16.
Atalanta were beaten at home by Napoli in Serie A last weekend, which ended a run of four without losing. They have been in decent nick of late, winning five of their last eight league and cup matches.
