It was business as usual for Real Madrid over the weekend, as they cruised to a comfortable 4-1 victory over Sevilla in La Liga.
Los Blancos will now turn their attention to the UEFA Champions League, where they have had a perfect start, beating Inter Milan (2-1) and AS Roma (4-3).
Jose Mourinho's troops have a perfect home record across all competitions this season, winning all six matches they have played at the Bernabeu while scoring an average of over three goals per game.
The hosts will be without the injured Raul Asencio (shin) and Rodrygo Goes (ACL), but Eder Militao, who made his first appearance of the season during the weekend's victory over Sevilla, is expected to feature in the Champions League for the first time this term.
While Vinicius Jr. served the first of his four-match suspension in La Liga over the weekend, the Brazilian is set to return to the starting XI for this clash. On that note, Yan Diomande will drop to the bench as Vinicius Jr. pairs up front with Kylian Mbappe.
On the other hand, RB Leipzig were beaten 6-1 on the road by Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga over the weekend.
The visitors have now lost four consecutive away matches across all competitions, and their only victory on the road this season came in the DFB-Pokal against Eintracht Trier, an amateur team from the fourth tier of German football.
Martin Demichelis' men kicked off their Champions League campaign with a 4-1 away defeat against Como before beating PSV 1-0 at home in their second game. At the time of writing, they are 21st in the league phase ahead of this clash with eighth-placed Real Madrid.
Although Leipzig have no new injury concerns, Christoph Baumgartner (hamstring) and Assan Ouedraogo (shoulder) remain unavailable for selection.
These teams have previously clashed four times, all in the Champions League. Real Madrid narrowly lead the H2H with a 2-1-1 win-draw-loss record.

Whispers Predicts: Real Madrid 4-1 RB Leipzig
Priced at 3/10 (1.30), Real Madrid are considered favourites by the bookmakers ahead of this skirmish.
Los Blancos have had a perfect home record this season, and considering Leipzig's losing streak on the road, anything other than a comfortable victory for Real Madrid would be surprising.
There were at least 11 corners in four of Leipzig's last five fixtures, and this can be backed at 23/20 (2.15).
We also fancy a 4-1 correct score at 12/1 (13.00). Los Blancos have won three of their six home games this season by the same scoreline.
> Over 4.5 total goals at 5/4 (2.25) | Likelihood: Probable
> BTTS – Yes at 11/20 (1.55) | Likelihood: Probable
