REF’s picks

Real Madrid possess too much firepower at the Santiago Bernabéu and should comfortably clear this team total against a Leipzig side fresh off a heavy defeat to Bayern Munich.

1. 1Real Madrid's attacking stars are in strong scoring form with recent high-scoring outings in Europe and domestic play.
2. 2RB Leipzig's defensive frailties were exposed severely in their recent six-goal concession against Bayern.
3. 3Defensive injuries in the home side's squad could potentially allow Leipzig enough counter-attacking space to disrupt a clean shutout.
