RB Leipzig VS PSV Eindhoven

RB Leipzig have been in blistering form across recent Bundesliga fixtures, most recently notching a landslide league victory that has ramped up their home ground momentum to a high level. They settled for a draw in their opening Champions League group match, and are fully focused on securing their first group stage win here. While Baumgartner and another key squad player are sidelined due to injuries, their top attacking talisman Nkunku is fit to feature. The side runs on a high-intensity pressing system, with extremely fast pace of play during attack-defense transitions. PSV Eindhoven have posted consistent solid displays in the Eredivisie, and walked away with three points from their first Champions League group fixture. That said, a host of key first-team players including forwards Plea, Pepi and midfielder Schouten are out injured, which has taken a notable toll on their offensive organization. PSV typically build their attacks by dominating possession and playing progressive passes, but their backline lacks agility when turning over, and will struggle to cope with the rapid, penetrative runs Leipzig are set to deploy.
