RB Leipzig ahead of Belgrade: Step towards the round of 16

RB Leipzig can take a big step toward the last 16 of the Champions League just halfway through the group stage. A win on Wednesday (9 p.m./DAZN) against Serbian champions Red Star Belgrade would give the Saxons a five-point lead over Group G's third-placed side at best. This would mean that they could advance to the next round as early as two weeks from now in Belgrade. With the exception of injured captain Willi Orban, coach Marco Rose can call on all regular players. Playmaker Dani Olmo should get a longer partial use, the Spaniard was a good month because of a knee bruise out.
