Manchester CityChampions LeagueRB Leipzig

RB Leipzig faces Manchester City in a decisive match of the group stage of the Champions League. The victory against PSG two weeks ago guaranteed the first position for the "Citizens", the lead of four points can’t be reached by Parisians, with their 8 points currently. At the bottom of the table are RB Leipzig and Club Brugge KV with 4 points each. At the moment, The Red Bulls have an advantage as they have better results in the matches between them, but a possible failure against Man City and a point for Brugge against PSG will send the Belgians to the Europa League.

Over the weekend, RB Leipzig suffered another loss in the Bundesliga, losing 2:1 away to Union Berlin. This was the third defeat for the Bulls in two weeks and they are already seven points behind the fourth Freiburg. Shortly after the end of the match, information came out that Jesse Marsh had been removed of his post as a coach of RB Leipzig. The current situation means that the "Bulls" will go out on the field on Tuesday with a temporary coach and their preparation for the match is unlikely to be at the highest level.

Manchester City's guaranteed first place partly explains why their odds on Tuesday were rated so high - 2.00. However, I think this is a great opportunity to take advantage of. At the moment, the Citizens are in great shape, having won their last seven matches in all competitions. This period includes matches with strong opponents such as PSG, West Ham and Manchester United.

The bench of Manchester City is quite impressive and even with its second team the guests will be equal to RB Leipzig. Moreover, the "Bulls" have not won in their previous two games as hosts, losing 1:2 to Brugge and ending in a draw 2:2 against PSG with a goal from a penalty in added time. RB Leipzig often allow the first goal in their matches in the first minutes, and if this happens against Manchester City they will have many problems. Recently, the "Citizens" play strong in defense and allow their opponents to score only after leading by two goals.
