RB Leipzig vs Paris Saint-Germain Prediction and Betting Tips | August 10th 2024
RB Leipzig will face Paris Saint-Germain at the Red Bull Arena on Saturday in a pre-season friendly between the two teams. The home side enjoyed a strong league campaign last season and will be targeting an even stronger showing in the upcoming campaign.
They kicked off their pre-season campaign earlier in the month with a 2-0 win over Aston Villa before losing 3-0 to Wolverhampton Wanderers last time out. They will aim to shake off their latest result and return to winning ways this weekend before returning to competitive action against RW Essen in the DFB Pokal next Saturday.
Paris Saint-Germain enjoyed a brilliant campaign last season as they won the domestic double and will hope they can hit similar heights in the new season. They faced Sturm Graz on Wednesday in their only friendly outing so far, with Ibrahim Mbaye and Carlos Soler getting on the scoresheet to hand Les Parisiens an early two-goal lead before their opponents came back to level the scores later in the half.
The visitors will be looking to wrap up their pre-season efforts on a winning note before beginning their Ligue 1 campaign against Le Havre next weekend.
