Real Madrid welcome RB Leipzig to the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu on Wednesday evening, with Carlo Ancelotti's men aiming to record their second win Group F of the Champions League.

Eden Hazard scored only his second Champions League goal for Real Madrid last week in Glasgow and is offered at 13/2 (7.50), the same price as Rodrygo Goes.
Real Madrid vs RB Leipzig preview
Leipzig's short history in the Champions League has seen them struggle defensively on the road with the side keeping just three clean sheets in the 14 away games they have contested in the tournament.
In last season's group stages they conceded six goals at Manchester City and three at Paris Saint-Germain, and Leipzig's first ever visit to Spain could be provide another serious challenge.
Without Benzema, Madrid have scored seven goals in their last two matches and with Vinicius Junior hitting world-class form there is every chance the defending champions can record a healthy win.
Leipzig have conceded four goals to both Eintracht Frankfurt and Shakhtar Donestk in the last two weeks, leaving plenty of question marks about their defence.
