Leipzig has seriously changed in comparison with itself last year. Some of the main players left the club, changed the mentor. For this reason, the bulls were unable to carry out a high-quality start of the season either in the Bundesliga or in the Champions League. In the first round, Leipzig fell under the Manchester City rink, losing 3:6 in England. In the home match against Club Brugge, Jesse Marsh’s team clearly expected to take all three points and join the fight for the playoffs, but in the end lost 1:2 to the Belgians. In the last match “Leipzig” fought PSG away and could easily have caught, at least, for a draw, but did not keep the advantage and lost 2:3. This defeat practically puts an end to the team’s chances to break into the playoffs.
The Vice-champion of Portugal takes the third position after the first round of the Champions League. For three rounds, Portistas have won one victory, a draw and a defeat, which brought four points, just like the second Atletico, with which the Portuguese club drew (0:0). After the defeat to Liverpool (1:5), the white-blues have minimally overpowered today’s opponent in their field. In Portugal’s Cuba, the dragons went through two rounds, in which they beat Cintrense (5:0) and Santa Clara (3:1) in turn. The team is confidently performing in the Primera championship, where Sergio Conceicao’s wards do not know defeats after ten rounds, having eight wins and two draws, which brought 26 points and the first position. In the last two matches, the guests defeated Tondela (3:1) and Boavista (4:1). Estevesh and Wendell, who has a knee injury, will not be able to enter the pitch today.
