They followed up a comeback 3-1 win over AC Milan with a routine 2-0 victory against Bologna and are slight favourites this evening.

RB Leipzig vs Liverpool team news
Leipzig will be without Amadou Haidara, Nicolas Seiwald, David Raum, Assan Ouédraogo and Xaver Schlager, but there is hope both Kevin Kampl and Lois Openda will be fit.
Liverpool will be without Diogo Jota, after the forward was forced off during the win over Chelsea and, subsequently, did not travel to Germany.
Luis Diaz could come in, though Darwin Nunez replaced him on Sunday. Alisson and Harvey Elliott are longer-term absentees.
RB Leipzig vs Liverpool prediction
Given how their respective European campaigns have gone thus far, Liverpool look like favourites to maintain their 100 per cent start to the league phase.
Leipzig remain unbeaten in the Bundesliga this season but still without a point in Europe, and that should still be the case this week.
Liverpool to win, 2-1.
