UEFA Champions League -- RB Leipzig vs Manchester City Game Preview

 

 

Analysis:

RB Leipzig will meet Manchester City in the Champions League round of 16 tie with the irst leg on Wednesday at the Red Bull Arena.

 

RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig finished second on qualifyings, behind of Real Madrid in Group F with four wins and two losses. After beating Wolfsburg 3-0 in the last League game, RB Leipzig are currently placing 5th in Bundesliga. The last 1-2 home loss to Union Berlin halted their 18-game unbeaten run before, and this was their first defeat at home in 12 matches in all competitions.

 

Manchester City

Manchester City leads the Group G table with four wins and two draws. After claiming a 1-1 away draw at the weekend by Nottingham Forest, the City heads into this clash as 2nd in the Premier League. But they need to improve their away forms since they just have one win, one draw but three defeats in the last five visits in all competitions.

 

Prediction:

RB Leipzig shows impressive home forms all the whole season, while the City lack the consistency on the road. Thus, my prediction for this match is RB Leipzig to win the Handicap.

 

AH Pick: RB Leipzig +0.5/1
