Sports Innovation previews the Champions League match between RB Leipzig and Paris Saint-Germain and offers team stats, betting tips and the latest odds.

RB Leipzig have not had a great run in the Champions League, particularly during this season. The German side have lost all the games in Group A making it hard for them to qualify for the next round this year. Whereas, a Lionel Messi inspired Paris Saint-Germain have managed to secure the peak spot in the group with two wins and a draw.

The visiting team will probably have to raise their level to secure further success in the European competition. While a single defeat in 6 matches is not bad, winning only twice along the way seems a bit modest. The hosts on the other hand hope that they leave the competition with some points along their way, which looks quite difficult with Manchester City and Club Brugge in impressive forms in the group.

PSG seem on the positive side

PSG look to continue their current momentum with another positive result.
