RB Leipzig victory
RB Leipzig have been in dominant form especially in the home matches. A sequence of four consecutive wins for RB Leipzig in the home matches certainly make it difficult for Real Sociedad to expect anything out of this game. The Spanish outfit have struggled in away European games with just one win – a narrow success over Sturm Graz – in the last five on the road.
Christopher Nkunku to score anytime
Christopher Nkunku is into double figures for the campaign in the Bundesliga after 11 goals in 21 games. He has scored in back-to-back games for RB Leipzig. On the European front, the 24-year-old has failed to score only in two of the last six Champions League appearances.
Both teams to score – yes
Even though Real Sociedad have been struggling for goals of late, they have been able to raise their game to a certain extent for the European matches. RB Leipzig suffer from the occasional loss in concentration like they did against Cologne during the weekend. This should mean goals at both ends.
