Comments, predictions RB Leipzig vs Juventus: Drown the away team

After losing in the last minute on the opening day, RB Leipzig will be aiming for their first Champions League win of the season when unbeaten Juventus visit on Wednesday evening.

While the Bundesliga side suffered a disappointing defeat in Madrid, their Italian opponents returned to UEFA's top competition with a win over Dutch champions PSV Eindhoven.

Latest RB Leipzig vs Juventus squad information

Leipzig coach Marco Rose handed new signing Antonio Nusa his first Bundesliga start on Saturday, but Christoph Baumgartner and Arthur Vermeeren (on loan from Atletico Madrid) are both vying to replace the Norwegian winger in midweek.

Whoever starts will link up with Lois Openda and Benjamin Sesko in the back three: for two seasons running, Sesko has scored in RB's Champions League opener, while Openda had 28 goals in 44 games in all competitions last season.

Eljif Elmas is expected to recover in time to make the bench, but Kevin Kampl (adductor injury), Assan Ouedraogo and Xaver Schlager (both knee injuries) will miss out through injury.

Juventus, meanwhile, may be without Timothy Weah (ankle), and Arkadiusz Milik is yet to feature this season after picking up a knee injury during international duty, but Francisco Conceicao came on and scored late on Saturday after recovering from a thigh injury.

Dusan Vlahovic scored twice in Genoa, and the Serbian forward has been directly involved in four goals in eight Champions League appearances so far, including an assist against PSV.

He will once again lead the Bianconeri's attack in Germany, with support from Teun Koopmeiners, Nico Gonzalez and Kenan Yildiz. Elsewhere, first-choice goalkeeper Michele Di Gregorio is expected to return in place of reserve Mattia Perin.

Latest football commentary RB Leipzig vs Juventus

Faced with a difficult run of form in the group stage, Leipzig are keen to take at least a point from their first game - possibly their toughest, away to Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano.

As well as facing Serie A giants Juventus and Inter Milan, Die Roten Bullen also have to face Liverpool and Portuguese champions Sporting Lisbon, as well as Premier League high-flyers Aston Villa.

However, despite taking an early lead through Benjamin Sesko, they were level before half-time in the Spanish capital, before a 90th-minute goal condemned them to an increasingly rare defeat.

That 2-1 defeat remains Leipzig's only loss in 19 games in all competitions, and they have recovered by taking four points from their next two Bundesliga games.

Most recently, they crushed Augsburg 4-0 last weekend, moving up to third in the table, continuing the club's record run without a defeat in the Bundesliga.

Sesko scored twice early to start at the Red Bull Arena, boosting confidence in the squad ahead of the club's first Champions League meeting with Italian opposition.

Amid an impressive start to his tenure in Turin, Juventus coach Thiago Motta has guided his side to victory in their return to the Champions League - a potentially tricky fixture against Eredivisie champions PSV.

Highlighting the change in leadership under new management, 19-year-old Kenan Yildiz scored a stunning opener in the Bianconeri's 3-1 win, as Motta fielded the youngest ever Juve squad in the competition, with an average age of 25 years and 149 days.

Yildiz also became their youngest ever goalscorer in the Champions League, with the only minor blemish being a stoppage-time goal, the only goal they have conceded this season.

Unbeaten in seven games so far, Juventus followed up a bizarre run of three goalless draws in Serie A by beating Genoa 3-0 at the weekend, with Dusan Vlahovic scoring twice in an impressive second-half display at the Stadio Luigi Ferraris.

Although some of their expensive new signings have yet to find their rhythm, Juve are now well placed to improve their recent poor away record – at least in continental competition.

The two-time European champions have lost four of their last five away Champions League games, including their last three - their longest run in a decade.

Motta is now looking to end that streak and become only the third Juventus manager to win his first two games in UEFA's prestigious competition, following in the footsteps of two legends: Marcello Lippi in 1995 and Fabio Capello nine years later.
