Real Madrid Win, +2.5 Goals, Rodrygo To Score
RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid Preview & Prediction (20:00 KO)
Record 14-time Champions League winners Real Madrid head to Germany to take on RB Leipzig in the first leg of their Round of 16 matchup on Tuesday night, where they’ll be without several key players.
The likes of Jude Bellingham, Antonio Rudiger, Eder Militao, Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba have all been ruled out of the clash, however they come into the tie off the back of a five game unbeaten run.
A 4-0 win over La Liga title challengers Girona put Los Blancos in pole position in the Spanish top-flight last time out, as they now sit five points clear at the top of the table.
Carlo Ancelotti’s side finished top of their group with a perfect record to advance to the last-16, besting Serie A champions Napoli, as well as Braga and Union Berlin.
Leipzig on the other hand, find themselves in fifth place in the Bundesliga and finished second in their Champions League group behind reigning champions Manchester City. Marco Rose’s side have been in poor form since the turn of the year, losing three of their last five league matches.
We at SportsLens are anticipating a narrow victory for the visitors on Tuesday despite being without several star players, as we expect the likes of Rodrygo, Vinicius Junior and Federico Valverde to step up in their absence.
Prediction: RB Leipzig 1-2 Real Madrid

RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid Betting Tips
- Real Madrid To Win & Over 2.5 Goals @ 21/10
- Rodrygo To Score Anytime @ 21/10
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 9/2
RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid Betting Tip 1: Real Madrid To Win & Over 2.5 Goals @ 21/10
Our first tip for your Tuesday night RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid Champions League Round of 16 bet builder is to back Los Blancos to triumph with over 2.5 goals being scored in the match, priced by leading UK betting sites at 9/2.
As previously alluded to, Real are unbeaten in their last five – with four of those coming in the form of victories. Three of those four victories went over 2.5 goals, and seven of their last nine matches across all competitions also achieved the same feat.
With a makeshift centre-back partnership likely being made up of Aurelien Tchouameni and Nacho Fernandez, the ever-dangerous Lois Openda will have plenty of opportunities to punish the record champions.
Rodrygo and Vinicius Junior on the other end though, along with Brahim Diaz and Valverde, should have enough in their lockers to put a few goals past an RB Leipzig side who have conceded 10 goals in their last four matches.
RB Leipzig vs Real Madrid Betting Tip 2: Rodrygo To Score Anytime @ 21/10
With Bellingham ruled out of the tie due to a sprained ankle, more of an onus will be placed on Vinicius and Rodrygo to provide the goalscoring returns for Ancelotti’s side.
Rodrygo seems to thrive in these sorts of scenarios though, especially in the Champions League, as he bagged three goals in six appearances throughout the group stages.
The Brazilian boasts an impressive 13 goals and seven assists from 34 appearances thus far this term, and added to that tally with a goal in the 4-0 win over Girona at the weekend.
Priced at 21/10, we at SportsLens have identified Rodrygo to score at anytime during the match as a valuable selection as Los Blancos aim to return to the Spanish capital with an advantage in the tie.
