Following numerous unfavorable refereeing calls and a draw against Valencia in LaLiga, Real Madrid now focuses on the second leg of the Champions League’s 1/8 finals against Leipzig. Their 1-0 victory in the first match provides ample confidence ahead of this encounter and fosters optimism for progression to the 1/4 finals. Having remained undefeated in their last 9 matches, Real Madrid is a strong contender for the LaLiga trophy and is always considered a favorite to make it to the Champions League finals. Their undefeated streak extends to 19 matches on their home turf.

Over the previous weekend, Leipzig delivered an impressive performance in the Bundesleague, securing a 4-1 victory over Bochum. However, they had previously suffered a 2-1 loss against Bayern. Their two solid performances could serve as a catalyst for their upcoming match against Real Madrid, despite the seemingly insurmountable challenge of defeating Real on their home turf.

For the third season in a row, Leipzig has managed to rank among the top 16 teams.

Real Madrid vs Leipzig pick: REAL MADRID TO WIN

It’s been four years since Real Madrid last ended their run in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League. While Leipzig is unquestionably a strong team with efficient and exciting matches, the Spanish titans proved in their initial encounter that they have the strategy to outplay them, particularly with effective midfield tactics that limit goal opportunities. A more action-packed match is anticipated, but there’s little doubt about Real Madrid’s victory and advancement to the next round.
