The teams have only faced each other in friendlies before, exchanging victories. In the summer of 2024, Leipzig defeated the Villans 2-0 at home. Before their last two matches in the Premier League, the Villans had an eight-game winless streak.

RB Leipzig

Leipzig is having a terrible campaign in the Champions League this season, sitting third from the bottom in the standings. In five matches, the Bulls have failed to earn a single point, losing to Atletico (1-2), Juventus (2-3), Liverpool (0-1), Celtic (1-3), and Inter Milan (0-1).

Over the weekend, RB Leipzig played an away match against Holstein Kiel and secured a 2-0 victory. Prior to that, the team confidently defeated Eintracht 3-0 in the DFB-Pokal. Currently, Leipzig sits in fourth place in the Bundesliga standings, trailing Bayern Munich by nine points.

Aston Villa

Meanwhile, Aston Villa started strong in the Champions League, winning their first three matches against Young Boys (3-0), Bayern (1-0), and Bologna (2-0). However, they then suffered a surprising 0-1 away loss to Club Brugge and drew 0-0 at home against Juventus.

Heading into the match against RB Leipzig, Villa is coming off a 1-0 home win over Southampton in the Premier League. This victory marked their second consecutive league win, improving their position in the standings. After 15 rounds, Villa sits in sixth place, just three points off the top four.
