Como
RB Leipzig
Como and RB Leipzig both start today’s UEFA Champions League League Stage on 0 points from 0 games, with kickoff set for 19:00 UTC at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia. The opening-round meeting gives one side the chance to reach 3 points immediately, while the other would remain on 0 after the first fixture.
What's at stake
Como are ranked #22 and RB Leipzig #23, but neither has separated itself in a table that currently has Paris Saint Germain top on 3 points. A win today would take the victor to 3 points and level with PSG’s current total; defeat would leave the losing team three points behind the leader after one game.
The numbers
There is no recent-form record to distinguish Como from RB Leipzig, and the season figures begin at zero for both. Como’s home record is 0W 0D 0L, with 0 goals scored, 0 conceded and 0 clean sheets; Leipzig’s away record is identical at 0W 0D 0L, with 0 scored, 0 conceded and 0 clean sheets.
The overall numbers reinforce the blank slate: Como have played 0 matches, scored 0 and conceded 0, while RB Leipzig also have 0 games, 0 goals for and 0 against. That makes today’s 90 minutes the first evidence available for comparing the teams in this league-stage campaign.
One to watch
The key tactical issue is how each side copes with its unavailable players rather than a scorer chart, which is not provided. Como are without J. Addai through an Achilles tendon injury, while M. Caqueret, E. Goldaniga, W. Kambwala, A. Lahdo and M. Vigorito are off the roster; RB Leipzig are missing C. Baumgartner with a thigh injury, V. Gebel with a knee injury and R. Reitz with a muscle injury, with A. Kone and L. Zingerle also off the roster.
Why it matters
For Como, a home win at Stadio Giuseppe Sinigaglia would turn a #22 starting position into 3 points and immediate pressure on PSG. For RB Leipzig, the same result away from home would move the #23 side to 3 points, while a loss would leave either team on 0 after the opening round.
