Como vs RB Leipzig Predictions

• RB Leipzig have lost four of their last six away matches
• Nine of the Bundesliga side’s last ten matches have featured more than two goals
• Como are unbeaten in their last eight matches

Fabregas’s boys can make a winning debut

Como did brilliantly to finish fourth in last season’s Serie A in only their second season in the top flight, and Cesc Fabregas’s side can get their inaugural Champions League campaign off to a winning start by beating RB Leipzig on Thursday.

Only champions Inter lost fewer Serie A matches than Como last term and they have shown they will not be resting on their laurels this season having taken seven points from their opening three games.

What is more impressive is that all of those games have been on the road and they will nevertheless be delighted to get back to familiar surroundings as they have kept four clean sheets in their last six outings on their own patch.

Beating highly rated Napoli in the opening weeks will have only boosted their confidence and they can see off Leipzig, who have been struggling with inconsistency.

While they did well to finish third in last season’s Bundesliga, they have had their issues on the road, losing four of their last six on their travels and conceding 11 times in their last three league away encounters.

The latest of those disappointments was a 3-1 defeat at Werder Bremen, where they did admittedly create the greater number of chances, and that means there is little to recommend the German outfit.

Como can come out on top of this one and as they have kept a clean sheet in four of their last six home games, those looking for a correct-score interest are pointed towards a 2-0 home success.
