Real Madrid have the perfect warmup for the El Clasico when they take on RB Leipzig in the UEFA Champions League. These two face off on Wednesday in matchday three action, which Real Madrid will play host to. Leipzig head into this encounter on a poor away run, and any prediction backing a home win will be justified.
The Germans have suffered four straight defeats on the road. They got the taste of what to expect here in their latest outing, a 6-1 mauling at the hands of Bayern Munich. On the same weekend, Real Madrid were up against Sevilla with a resounding 4-1 win.
Both sides posted wins on matchday two, and each will be keen on grabbing the three points on offer here. This will be the fifth time these two sides face off, and Leipzig are seeking their second win, while Real Madrid are eyeing a third victory in this matchup.

Real Madrid - Leipzig: Form Analysis
Real Madrid have suffered a few setbacks here and there, but they come here fired up by their fine scoring form. The Spaniards are coming from a solid performance that ended in a 4-1 win at Sevilla, seeing them score four times for the second game running.
On matchday two, Real Madrid staged a stunning comeback from 3-1 down to beat AS Roma 4-3. They haven’t been all convincing defensively, but the goodies keep coming in attack. Across their 11 matches, Los Blancos have managed 2+ goals in eight. They have only managed two clean sheets this season, which will be a major concern as well.
In their latest away match in the Champions League, Leipzig suffered a 4-1 defeat.
RB Leipzig will know where to hit Real Madrid - in defence. While they plan the same, however, they should be aware of their own weaknesses. The Germans are coming off a 6-1 defeat at Bayern Munich in their weekend Bundesliga outing.
They are bound to have another tough outing here as they look to build on their 1-0 win against PSV Eindhoven in the last round. That slim win was a welcome recovery after their matchday one defeat when they fell 4-1 against Como. This game offers a good chance at stabilizing their season with the Germans currently on a run of four losses in seven games.

Real Madrid & Leipzig Squad Analysis
This match will be some reunion of sorts. Yan Diomande will have one more chance to interact with former team mates at Leipzig. The Ivorian spent just one season with the German club before Real Madrid snapped him up in a big-money move.
He had scored 13 goals in 36 matches at Leipzig, though he hasn’t kicked off as expected at Real, where he already has five goal contributions. He will hope to improve on his numbers in this Wednesday game. Among the in-form players at Real at the moment is Arda Guler, who has four goal contributions in the last two UCL appearances. He set up two goals in the win over Roma and also scored in the 4-1 win against Sevilla.
French forward Mbappé has scored in his last four UCL games.
Leipzig will be up against their former defender Ibrahima Konate, and the Germans hope Brajan Guda can get a way past home to extend his rich form. The young German got the winning goal against PSG and also provided the assist for their only goal in the heavy loss to Bayern Munich.
While he’s been used sparingly, the Leipzig manager may want to consider that his goal involvements came in matches Guda has played 75+ minutes.
