RB Leipzig desperately need points on Wednesday, Jan 20 at 9:00 PM in the League Stage. With the team sitting in the bottom three, this is quickly becoming a must-win situation.

RB Leipzig come into this fixture in mixed form (1W 0D 1L). Shakhtar Donetsk, meanwhile, arrive in mixed form (1W 1D 0L) — actually the better-performing side in recent weeks.

Head-to-head records offer little separation — RB Leipzig and Shakhtar Donetsk have split their 2 meetings almost evenly (1W–0D–1W). Their last encounter ended in Shakhtar Donetsk won 0–4. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.5 per game in recent meetings.

Verdict: Little separates these two on form or history. Home advantage could be the deciding factor — a narrow RB Leipzig win or a draw looks most likely.
