Leipzig-Aston Villa is a match valid for the sixth day of the Champions League and is played on Tuesday at 9 p.m.: live TV, probable formations, prediction.
Among the teams that seem to be already doomed after the first 5 days of the single group stage is Leipzig. Marco Rose’s Roten Bullen have not been able to collect even a point in this Champions League, cashing in five defeats. Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Liverpool, Celtic and Inter Milan: all managed to get the better of the red-and-whites, whose continental adventure had started with quite different expectations. Leipzig, therefore, is already with its back to the wall: in the event of a failure to win against Aston Villa in the sixth round, the 24th place, the last one useful to play at least the playoff, would become unreachable.
Sesko and his teammates, by the way, are trying to put behind them a very black November, in which they never won, avoiding defeat only against Borussia Monchengladbach in the Bundesliga. December, however, seems to have started under quite different auspices. Leipzig has won its last two games, the German Cup match with Eintracht Frankfurt and in the league with Kiel, which is crucial to remain in the top 4.
Aston Villa, on the other hand, is in much better shape, being close to the top eight in the Champions League thanks to its 10 points. Already, Villans coach Unai Emery can dream of direct qualification to the round of 16, which is why it will be important to return at least with a point in his pocket from the German trip. The Birmingham club, back in the top continental competition after more than 40 years, is focusing on solidity in Europe. It has conceded only one goal against six scored, recording four clean sheets (only goal conceded on penalties). Discontinuous in the Premier League (it is sixth), Aston Villa is in any case coming from two wins in a row, achieved against Brentford (3-1) and Southampton (1-0), both in front of their own public.

The Prediction
Leipzig has no alternative to victory if it wants to continue its European adventure. Yes, Aston Villa has definitely done better than the Roten Bullen so far but the feeling is that in this match could come the first point of Rose’s men. Since the hosts cannot settle for a draw, the odds of seeing a match of at least one goal on each side seem to be very high.
