Prediction: RB Leipzig 0-1 Atletico Madrid

Both sides have been in superb form since the restart and in the Champions League could be rated with an outside chance of winning the competition.

But under Simeone, the Rojiblancos have built a reputation for having a sturdy backline with a tremendous work rate.

A Leizpig side without Werner may struggle to breach down the LaLiga side's stubborn defence and this could be settled by a single goal.
