A 1-0 defeat to Fulham on Sunday afternoon was Liverpool’s sixth defeat in succession at home and now leaves them in a very vulnerable position when it comes to making the top-four. Liverpool’s only route back into the Champions League could well be through this season’s competition. The Reds hold a 2-0 advantage from their away leg with RB Leipzig and now Liverpool will host the German side, albeit in a neutral location. Being the home side outside of Anfield could work for Jurgen Klopp’s side who have managed to score just one goal when playing at home since the turn of the year – we are now in March. Liverpool have now lost three of their last four matches but they have won four of their last five away from home.
Leipzig, meanwhile, kept the pressure on Bundesliga leaders RB Leipzig with a 3-0 victory away from home over Freiburg. Die Roten Bullen have won each of their four games since the first-leg defeat to Liverpool but they have lost three of their four games away from home in Europe so far this season. These teams will meet again at the Puskas Arena in Budapest at a neutral location but outside of Germany in this competition, Julian Nagelsmann’s side have managed to win just six of their 14 matches since their debut in 2017. Leipzig have won six of their last eight games on their travels but did suffer a crushing 5-0 defeat to Manchester United when they last faced an English side as the away team back in October.
