Despite five defeats in the five Champions League games so far, Marco Rose is banking on RB Leipzig's mini-chance of reaching the last 16. The Bundesliga side will make the start this Tuesday (21:00/DAZN) at home against Bayern conquerors Aston Villa after an upturn in results in recent days.
"We know that we need a win so that we still have the opportunity to slip into the next round somewhere in January with two more victories," said Rose at a press conference the day before the game: "We've played ourselves into the situation."
RB are 34th in the Champions League table with zero points. Opponents Aston Villa, who are coached by Spanish European Cup expert Unai Emery, are ninth with ten points.
