RB Leipzig vs Manchester City Analysis
RB Leipzig have hit a solid run of form domestically with three straight wins across all competitions, but they’ve struggled to string together positive results in Europe. The Bundesliga outfit are currently 30th in the table with a 1-0-2 record, losing by 4-1 scorelines to Como and Real Madrid while beating PSV Eindhoven on matchday two. The club has scored just three times so far.
Nevertheless, their domestic form is promising, and the hope is that they can carry that momentum into a tough fixture against City. Martin Demichelis’s side have only conceded once in their last three games, keeping back-to-back clean sheets in the Bundesliga. Antonio Nusa scored the opener against Schalke over the weekend before Romulo sealed the deal with a second, courtesy of a Nusa assist. The attacking duo will be key against City on Wednesday.
After an exhilarating start to the campaign, City have looked poor lately. As mentioned, the English giants have lost two of their last three matches, falling to Brighton over the weekend, just days after knocking out the Seagulls in the League Cup. It was the first time this season City was held off the scoresheet, and it ended Erling Haaland's nine-game scoring run.
That defeat put the Cityzens three points back in the Premier League title race, but they remain a force in the Champions League. Enzo Maresca’s group has won two of three games, smashing AEK Athens and FC Porto. However, PSG did march into the Etihad and beat them 4-2. This side does have some vulnerabilities, but their record against Leipzig is impressive.
RB Leipzig vs Manchester City Injury News

RB Leipzig vs Manchester City Picks
Despite City’s inconsistency lately, they’ve dominated Leipzig in recent memory, and the hosts have struggled against bigger sides this season, already losing to Bayern Munich and Real Madrid. The Sky Blues will respond with a much-needed victory.
