RB Leipzig - PSV Eindhoven
Romulo Cruz leads RB Leipzig against PSV Eindhoven
Romulo Cruz enters this Champions League matchday 2 encounter in clinical form, spearheading an RB Leipzig attack that dismantled Eintracht Frankfurt 6-0 just days ago. The expected XI, anchored by the defensive reliability of Willi Orban and Castello Lukeba, looks to bounce back from an opening European defeat against Como. With Christopher Nkunku providing creative support, the hosts aim to leverage their momentum at Red Bull Arena Leipzig to secure their first points of the continental campaign.
PSV Eindhoven arrive with a solid domestic rhythm, highlighted by their recent 2-0 victory over SC Heerenveen. However, the visitors face significant personnel challenges, with Ricardo Pepi, Paul Wanner, and Lutsharel Geertruida sidelined through injury. Ivan Perisic and Sven Mijnans will be tasked with navigating a testing environment, as PSV look to build on their opening Champions League draw against Shakhtar Donetsk.
