Manchester City vs. RB Leipzig Betting Preview
Manchester City
Man City are the favorites to win the Champions League before a ball is kicked each season, but the English Premier League champions have never won the competition. Can Guardiola change that this year?
Man City is in great form right now, unbeaten in eight league and cup matches since a Premier League loss at Tottenham Hotspur back in February. They have gone on to win six and draw two of eight. That loss at Spurs is their only reverse since January.
Man City is undefeated in the Champions League this season. They won their opening three group games and finished up with a win and two draws from the final three. The heavyweights then drew in Leipzig in the first leg of the Round of 16.
Man City is gunning for Champions League glory this season, and the Manchester giants are chasing down Arsenal in the title race. They remain five points behind the Gunners in second position.
Man City is looking to complete the job on their own patch in midweek. Guardiola’s team are the strong favorites with the bookmakers. For the best odds on the UCL games today, keep reading our Manchester City vs Leipzig picks and predictions preview.
RB Leipzig
RB Leipzig is having another decent season in the Bundesliga. The Red Bulls are in third spot right now as they look to nail down a Champions League place. They are seven points adrift of leaders Bayern Munich and five points away from Borussia Dortmund.
Leipzig is in good form in the league, picking up three wins from their past four games. Last weekend, goals from Timo Werner, Emil Forsberg and Josko Gvardiol gave the Red Bulls an easy 3-0 home win over Borussia Monchengladbach.
Leipzig lost their opening two Champions League group games but recovered well to secure their place in the last 16. They won their last four matches in the group, beating Real Madrid 3-2 at the Red Bull Arena along the way.
The Etihad Stadium is a notoriously tough place to visit. Man City do not lose many on their own patch these days, and Leipzig will have to be at their absolute best to stand any chance of going through. Keep reading for the latest Champions League odds and our Manchester City vs Leipzig picks.
