LEP vs PSG Dream11 Prediction: RB Leipzig are looking to bounce back to form when they face Paris Saint-Germain in a must-win Champions League game on Wednesday. It has not been a good week for RB Leipzig. After being thrashed 5-0 away at Man Utd on Matchday 2 of the UEFA Champions League group stage, ‘Die Roten Bullen’ were beaten 1-0 by Borussia Monchengladbach at the weekend and hence dropped from top spot down to third place in the Bundesliga table. It doesn’t get any easier for Julian Nagelsmann’s side, with French champions PSG next up on Matchday 3. Last season’s UEFA Champions League finalists bounced back from defeat at home to Man Utd on Matchday 1, with a comfortable 0-2 win against Istanbul Basaksehir and victory here would give them a three-point cushion over Leipzig. With the hosts low on confidence following their two most recent defeats, PSG will start as favourites. Let’s take a look at LEP vs PSG Dream11 Team prediction now.

RB Leipzig Team News
Julian Nagelsmann’s side were ruthlessly dismantled by Man Utd at Old Trafford on matchday two, losing 5-0 after a rudderless performance in which substitute Marcus Rashford scored a second-half hat-trick. Dayot Upamecano, who rightly received mass plaudits for his performances in this competition last season, was made to look very average indeed by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side’s lightning counter attacks. With both forthcoming opponents level on points having both beaten Istanbul Basaksehir 2-0, this is a massive match for Leipzig if they are to have any chance of progressing to the knockout stages for a second successive season.
Injury update, unavailability
RB Leipzig manager Julian Nagelsmann will be unable to call upon the services of French defender Nordi Mukiele, German right-back Lukas Klostermann, Austria international Konrad Laimer and young German attacker Fabrice Hartmann, who are all out injured.
LEP Playing 11 & Subs (probable)
Gulacsi; Orban, Upamecano, Konate; Henrichs, Kampl, Nkunku, Angelino; Olmo, Forsberg; Poulsen
Subs (probable): Hartmann, Wosz, Sorloth
PSG Team News
Thomas Tuchel’s side suffered defeat to Man Utd themselves, of course, albeit in much more marginal fashion with Rashford’s late winner earning his side a 2-1 win at Le Parc des Princes. PSG did bounce back on matchday two with a 2-0 win in Istanbul, with Kylian Mbappe twice assisting loanee Moise Kean in the second half, but have plenty of work to do to ensure they do not fail to progress to the knockout stages for the first time in the Qatari-owned era. Tuchel will not be encouraged by the fact Neymar and Di Maria are both doubtful for the match, especially with the duo excellent in the victory over Leipzig in August.
Injury update, unavailability
Paris Saint-Germain will be without star attacker Neymar, Germany international Julian Draxler, midfielder Leandro Paredes, striker Mauro Icardi, Italian midfielder Marco Verratti and left-back Juan Bernat, who are nursing injuries.
PSG Playing 11 & Subs (probable)
Navas; Florenzi, Danilo, Kimpembe, Kurzawa; Herrera, Marquinhos, Gueye; Sarabia, Kean, Di Maria
Subs (probable): Bakker, Dagba, Kouassi

Who will win LEP vs PSG Today Match Prediction Football
Will Belotti’s injury provide a fatal blow to Marco Giampaolo’s prospects of job retention? Quite possibly, as without the sharp-shooting ‘Rooster’ an already struggling Torino will be short of firepower. Genoa can take at least a point against their bogey side, as a hard-fought draw in the derby and the squad’s return to something like full strength should provide sufficient impetus. We predict a 1-1 draw in LEP vs PSG today match prediction.
