Inconsistent RB Leipzig will be chasing a second straight win in all competitions when they host PSV Eindhoven in the Champions League on October 13. PSV will be targeting back-to-back competitive wins at the Red Bull Arena.

Inconsistency Proving to be an Issue for Leipzig

RB Leipzig will aim to rediscover their best form this week, after losing three of their last five in all competitions.

Two home wins without conceding have boosted confidence, but they still need to improve defensively after conceding nine goals in their last five. Christopher Nkunku has impressed so far this season, registering five goal involvements in four appearances.

Martin Demichelis will be without key players Assan Ouedraogo and Christoph Baumgartner on Tuesday. However, Ezechiel Banzuzi excelled in the latter’s absence on Saturday, scoring once and setting up another.

RB Leipzig predicted lineup vs PSV Eindhoven (4-2-3-1): Vandevoordt; Baku, Orban, Lukeba, Raum; Banzuzi, El Aynaoui; Maksimovic, Nkunku, Nusa; Romulo

PSV Hunting Successive Wins

The international break came at a good time for PSV Eindhoven after failing to win two of their last three.

They returned to form against SC Heerenveen, meaning the Dutch club has now scored nine goals in their last four. That recent win also produced a first clean sheet in seven. Guus Til has scored three in his last two club appearances.

Peter Bosz will still be without key defensive players such as Kilian Sildillia, Adamo Nagalo, and Lutsharel Geertruida this week, which could be a concern given they have allowed four goals in three fixtures.

PSV Eindhoven predicted lineup vs RB Leipzig (4-3-3): Kovar; Dest, Flamingo, Obispo, Junior; Sano, Til, Fernandez; Bajraktarevic, Mijnans, van Bommel

RB Leipzig vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction

  • Safe Tip: Both Teams to Score (BTTS)
  • Odds: 1.33 (22Bet)
  • Correct score prediction: RB Leipzig 2-2 PSV Eindhoven
  • 22Bet Booking Code: AF7PL

Key stats:

  • RB Leipzig have conceded nine goals in their last five.
  • Leipzig have scored at least once in all three home clashes in 2026-27.
  • PSV have scored in all nine competitive matches this season.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS) is the logical angle, with Leipzig and PSV conceding 15 goals between them in their last five matches each.

Leipzig’s attack is in full flow, with 15 Bundesliga goals, and PSV have conceded in four of their last five matches.

PSV’s away defence is no stronger, conceding 1.5 goals per 90 minutes on the road.

The main risk is Leipzig’s home defence, which has kept three clean sheets in three Bundesliga matches, but their 4-1 defeat at Como shows how leaky they can be in Europe, making BTTS the logical play at 1.33.

RB Leipzig vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction, Value Tip

  • Value Tip: PSV or Draw
  • Odds: 2.116 (22Bet)
  • 22Bet Booking Code: XV8PL

PSV have been hard to beat this season, making them a value angle at 2.116 in the Double Chance market, which gives them only a 47% chance.

The Dutch club have avoided defeat in eight of their nine competitive fixtures this season, and in three of their four road encounters. In contrast, Leipzig’s defensive record could leave them vulnerable, as they have conceded at least twice in three of their last five fixtures.

PSV also excelled on the road in Europe last season, avoiding defeat in three of their four UCL away matches, including a notable win at Liverpool and a draw against Bayer Leverkusen.

Verdict: Both Teams to Score (1.33) — RB Leipzig 2-2 PSV Eindhoven.
