Leipzig sold out almost all the leading players in the summer and assembled a new team, which was taken over by a new head coach in the person of Jesse Marsh. Quite expectedly, at the start of the season the bulls had problems with the results both in the Bundesliga and in the Champions League, where they suffered three defeats in a row from Manchester City (3:6), Club Brugge (1:2) and PSG (2:3). However, Leipzig gradually gained shape and in the fourth round managed to snatch a very important 2:2 draw from PSG, which left the chances of fighting for the third line. In a duel with a direct competitor in this fight in the last round, Leipzig was excellent and won a 5:0 victory over Club Brugge, due to which they moved to third place in the group. Now in the last round they need to play no worse than the Belgians to reach the Europa League playoffs.
The start of the new season for Valencia was quite confident and after 15 rounds the team managed to chalk up four wins and seven peaceful outcomes, which brought 19 points and 11th place in the standings. After the success in the duel with Villarreal (2:0), the Orange played a series of three draws with Atletico (3:3), Real Sociedad (0:0) and Rayo Vallecano (1:1). The line of attack of the guests looks good. It hit the gates of opponents 22 times. They successfully passed the first stage of the Spanish Cup, where the bats defeated Utrillas (3:0). Fulkier, Diahabi and Gabriel Paulista, who has a muscle injury, will not be able to play today.
