Champions League holders can win group

Real Madrid can win Group F with a game to spare when they travel to RB Leipzig on Tuesday night.

Unbeaten in their first four games (W3 D1), the Champions League holders have a four point lead at the top of Group F, ahead of the second placed Germans. They are also top of the table in Spain after an unbeaten start to their La Liga campaign (P11 W10 D1), winning 3-1 at home against Sevilla on Saturday.

RB Leipzig were beaten by Shakhtar Donetsk and then in the reverse fixture in their first two games, but they have bounced back with two wins against Celtic. The Germans are on a seven match unbeaten run (W5 D2). At the weekend they fought back from being 3-0 down at Augsburg to draw 3-3, after the opposition went down to 10 men. That draw leaves Leipzig in eighth place in the Bundesliga.

Big price available for Real Madrid

Real Madrid are the favourites to win at 2.568/5, with RB Leipzig at 2.942/1 and the draw at 3.6553/20.

That looks like a really chunky price for the visitors. Including the European Super Cup, Madrid are unbeaten in 16 games this season (W14 D2). When you look purely at away games, they have won seven of their eight matches, with the draw at Shakhtar in their last Champions League outing, being their only blemish.

Those away wins included a 2-1 victory at Atletico Madrid when Real were available at a similar price to this. RB Leipzig are on an unbeaten run, but they were fortunate to avoid defeat at the weekend, when they had to mount a big comeback. You won't often get the chance to back Real Madrid at these odds, so take advantage at 2.568/5.
