Zenit St. Petersburg vs. RB Leipzig live stream: Watch Champions League online
By Adam Stocker
Zenit St. Petersburg face RB Leipzig at Gazprom Arena on Tuesday, Nov. 5. Here’s all the info you need to watch.
Through three games the closest group in the Champions League is Group G. Three points separate first-place RB Leipzig and fourth place Benfica. On Tuesday, Zenit St. Petersburg host Leipzig in their second consecutive game. In their first meeting, Leipzig defeated Zenit 2-1. Zenit are tied with Lyon for second in the group with four points.
Through 15 games, Zenit are first in the Russian Premier Liga but were held to a 1-1 draw by CSKA Moscow in their last game. Zenit are averaging two goals a game and have only conceded eight goals in their 15 Premier Liga games. However, Zenit are failing to reach that level in the Champions League, where they have allowed four goals in three games. If Zenit are going to advance to the knockout stage they will have to improve defensively. In the attacking third, the Russian side will target Artem Dzyuba. The Russian striker is having a great season, scoring a team-best 10 goals and adding 11 assists.
Leipzig at times this season have looked like a world-beater but have also failed to beat teams they likely should have. In their most recent game, Leipzig beat Mainz 8-0, with Timo Werner scoring three goals. However, the victory came one week after Leipzig lost to Freiburg. If manager Julian Nagelsmann gets his team to play their best, there is no reason why Leipzig cannot win the group and advance to the Champions League knockout stage for the first time in club history. Werner will play a key role for the Red Bulls against Zenit. The German striker leads the club with 13 goals in all competitions.
The Champions League match between Zenit St. Petersburg and RB Leipzig will be broadcast live online. Live streaming is available on B/R Live, which you can access with your cable or satellite subscription, either online or through their app.
