Leipzig vs Manchester City preview
Leipzig
The hosts will try to get some of the inspiration that led them to defeat Manchester City at home last season in the Champions League group stage when they defeated the English side 2-1.
The Germans struggled at the start of the competition when they lost their first two games against Shakhtar Donetsk and Real Madrid, but they bounced back to win all the remaining group-stage clashes, including a 3-2 home win over Real Madrid.
Marco Rose’s men proved to be no pushovers as they recorded an 18-game unbeaten run across all competitions.
The Group F runners-up go into the game against City after a clear 3-0 win over Wolfsburg. Leipzig are sitting fifth in the Bundesliga standings with 39 points, four behind league leaders Bayern Munich.
Manchester City
Meanwhile, the English powerhouses will try to get a good result in Leipzig to close the fixture in the second-leg game at Etihad Stadium.
Pep Guardiola’s men are sitting second in the Premier League table, with 52 points, three more than third-placed Manchester United and two behind leaders Arsenal, although the Gunners have one game in hand.
After a 1-3 win in London over their main rivals, City didn’t take advantage of that performance when they faced Nottingham Forest last time out, as the current champs were held to a 1-1 draw, while Arsenal defeated Aston Villa 2-4.
Guardiola’s side will be competing in the Champions League knockout rounds for the 10th successive year after topping Group G, looking to advance to the quarterfinals for the sixth consecutive campaign.
Leipzig vs Manchester City: Prediction
City are the favorites to come out on top in this game. The truth is they have looked beatable lately but their squad is full of talent and as long as Erling Haaland is fit, they will be very dangerous up front.
Leipzig, however, are a solid team and have recorded good results in their league and the Champions League so far, and playing at home is a plus for the Germans, so a battle is expected at Red Bull Arena on Wednesday.
Prediction: Leipzig 2-2 Manchester City
