Just like wine, Carlo Ancelotti is getting better with age. The crop of players he has molded within a short time has been nothing short of excellent. As the champions league group stages games are coming thick and fast during what will be a very busy season for teams around the world and Europe, the second round of the group stage fixtures gets underway this midweek, and one of the rounds of matches sees Real Madrid play host to German Heavyweights RB Leipzig. Los Blancos got their Champions league defense in the best possible start after seeing off Celtic in a scintillating fashion away from home. They won the match 3-0, with the only negative being Top talisman Karim Benzema pulling off with an injury. Real Madrid followed the excellent win in Europe with a win against Mallorca, a 4-1 victory that resounded their squad depth and quality to the rest of Europe after displaying an excellent bit of football this season. The next challenge for Madrid will be to achieve the match points against RB Leipzig, who suffered a humbling defeat at the hands of Shakhtar Donetsk during their champions league opener last week. Although the visitors put their disappointment in Europe behind them last weekend in their local league to bring an end to Borussia Dortmund's unbeaten run in the German Bundesliga after coming out on top in a heated encounter where they won 3-0.

However, not much need to be said about the team they intend to face, as they are arguably the most in-form team in Europe, with their strikers firing on all cylinders. In this tie, we expect Real Madrid to continue their fine form by outwitting the visitors when they welcome them to Santiago Bernabeau on match day. Bar the win for the visitors last week, they have failed to keep consistent strings of results in recent weeks, and this has seen them lose five matches in their last ten games in all competitions. More so, we are backing the home side to win this game due to the depth in the squad they possess compared to the visitors, as we expect fatigue to come in handy against a side that has failed to put up results in recent weeks. Consequently, RB Leipzig was disappointing in their first match in the UCL this season, and their defensive line, which has been all over the place while conceding 18 goals in their last 13 matches, will be something they will be worried about.

In light of this, the home side will be looking at the possibility of making it two wins out of two when they host the visitors. We are predicting a victory for Los Blancos against a side that has been one of the most out-of-form teams in the Bundesliga this season.

就像葡萄酒一样，卡洛·安切洛蒂（Carlo Ancelotti）随着年龄的增长而变得更好。他在短时间内塑造的一批球员堪称优秀。由于冠军联赛小组赛的比赛在世界各地和欧洲球队非常繁忙的赛季中进行得越来越频繁，小组赛第二轮比赛将在本周中旬开始，其中一轮比赛将看到皇马马德里主场迎战德国重量级 RB 莱比锡。在客场以闪亮的方式击败凯尔特人后，洛斯布兰科斯以最好的开端获得了他们的冠军联赛防守。他们以3-0赢得了比赛，唯一的负面因素是顶级护身符卡里姆·本泽马因伤退赛。皇家马德里在欧洲取得出色的胜利之后，又以 4-1 的比分战胜了马洛卡，在本赛季展现了出色的足球表现之后，他们的阵容深度和质量向欧洲其他地区响起。马德里的下一个挑战将是获得赛点对阵 RB 莱比锡，后者在上周的冠军联赛揭幕战中惨败于顿涅茨克矿工手中。尽管客队上周末在当地联赛中将他们对欧洲的失望抛诸脑后，结束了多特蒙德队在德甲联赛中的不败战绩，他们在一场激烈的比赛中以 3-0 获胜。

然而，他们打算面对的球队无需多言，因为他们可以说是欧洲状态最好的球队，他们的前锋火力全开。在这场比赛中，我们希望皇家马德里在比赛日欢迎他们来到圣地亚哥伯纳博时智取客队，从而继续保持他们的良好状态。除了上周客队的胜利之外，他们最近几周未能保持一致的结果，这使得他们在所有比赛的最后十场比赛中输掉了五场比赛。更重要的是，我们支持主队赢得这场比赛，因为他们拥有的阵容深度与客队相比，我们预计疲劳会在最近几周未能取得成绩的一方派上用场。因此，RB Leipzig在本赛季UCL的首场比赛中表现不佳，而他们最近13场比赛失18球的防守线将是他们担心的事情。

有鉴于此，主队将考虑在主场迎战客队时取得两胜两胜的可能性。我们预测洛斯布兰科斯将战胜本赛季德甲联赛中状态最差的球队之一。
