Basaksehir - RB Leipzig Prediction, Picks and Tips
Istanbul Basaksehir and RB Leipzig face each other on early Wednesday evening. What can we expect from this duel?
Istanbul Basaksehir has not yet been eliminated for a place in the next round, but the Turkish national champion knows that it will be very difficult to reach the eighth finals. Three of the four group duels were lost. Last week, Basaksehir was no match for Manchester United. Earlier, the Istanbul club had managed to surprise the English by winning 2-1 in the Fatih Terim Stadium, but at Old Trafford the proportions were different. Basaksehir left the field with a 4-1 defeat.
Coach Okan Buruk's team is underperforming in the Süper Lig. After ten duels, the counter is only at fourteen points, although Basaksehir is certainly not the only top team to miss many points. Last weekend, the team got no further than a 3-3 draw at home against Denizlispor. Buruk gave the necessary players a rest. "We made changes, given the busy schedule," said the former international after the game. "Maybe the draw is also a consequence of that."
RB Leipzig is doing well in this group of the Champions League. The Germans knew in advance that it would be difficult to reach the eighth finals, just like last season. Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United are of course great opponents. The English are in the best position, with nine points. Leipzig now has six, just like last season's losing finalist.
A week ago things went wrong for the club from Saxony in the away match against PSG. In the Parc des Princes, RBL fell behind, and against the well-defending French it proved difficult to create chances - Leipzig lost the match in Paris 1-0. In his own country, Julian Nagelsmann's team picked up the thread again last Saturday, without impressing by the way. Arminia Bielefeld was beaten 2-1, keeping RBL in the top of the Bundesliga.
