RB Leipzig vs Sporting Lisbon Prediction, Odds and Picks for Today, 01/22/25

6 defeats from 6 games ensure that RB Leipzig’s Champions League campaign will end after the league phase concludes, but they should contest a high-scoring meeting with Sporting Lisbon on Wednesday. Die Roten Bullen are 1 of 3 teams yet to pick up a point in the competition, although it must be noted that they were handed one of the toughest draws in the league phase. Meetings with Atletico Madrid, Juventus, Liverpool, Celtic, Inter Milan and Aston Villa have all ended in defeat, but Sporting have only won 5 of their 13 games since Ruben Amorim’s departure for Manchester United so Leipzig could be competitive. An abundance of goals looks likely, with 4 of the hosts’ 6 Champions League games and each of Sporting’s last 3 in the competition all featuring 3 or more goals. Each of the hosts’ last 6 in all competitions have also gone over 2.5 goals, so that looks a solid bet.
