The story so far
RB Leipzig will aim to get their first win of the Champions League campiagn when they host Paris Saint-Germain at the Red Bull Arena on Wednesday night. Die Roten Bullen have failed to pick up a single point in three attempts but have suffered defeats against Manchester City, Club Brugge and Mauricio Pochettino's side.
Although they have no point to their name, Jesse Marsch's side is still in the running to qualify for the knockout phase. A win over Paris Saint-Germain will undoubtedly open up a new realm of possibilities for the German team and put pressure on second-placed Manchester City.
Nevertheless, getting past Les Parisians will be anything but a stroll. The French outfit themselves will be out to make their chances of progressing to the knockout stage easier by grabbing.a favorable result while safeguarding their unbeaten run.
So far, they sit atop the table in Group A with seven points, having beaten both RB Leipzig and Manchester City while being held to a suprise draw with Club Brugge in-between. Ahead of Wednesday's clash, they should be able to draw inspiration from the 3-2 win the recorded when they hosted the Bundesliga outfit at Parc des Princes back in October.
