UEFA Champions League: Manchester City vs RB Leipzig Live Stream
Preview
The top two teams in Group G will face off in the Champions League on Tuesday, as Manchester City hosts RB Leipzig at the Etihad Stadium. Both teams have secured their place in the knockout round, but the battle for the top spot in the group is still up for grabs, with Manchester City currently leading by three points over second-placed Leipzig.
Man City has set high standards in recent years, so the consecutive Premier League draws with Chelsea and Liverpool before and after the international break are seen as disappointing. Despite having a significant league match against Tottenham Hotspur next weekend, their focus has now shifted to the competition they famously won last season.
In the 2023-24 tournament, Man City has maintained a perfect record, winning all four of their Group G matches and leading the group with 12 points. A victory or a draw at home against Leipzig on Tuesday would secure their first-place position in the group before their final game away to Red Star Belgrade next month.
Marco Rose’s team has defeated Red Star Belgrade twice and Young Boys once in Group G, earning nine points from four matches and securing their spot in the knockout round of the competition with two games remaining. They currently hold the second position in the group. Leipzig must win on Tuesday to have a chance at claiming the top spot in the group, but Man City has not lost at home in the European Cup since August 2020, indicating the challenge facing the away team in this match.
The Red Bulls are coming off a 2-1 defeat to Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, leaving them in fifth place in the table. In their last four away matches, Rose’s team has only won once and suffered three defeats. They face a tough challenge on Tuesday against a Man City side looking to bounce back from a home draw with Liverpool in the Premier League.
Head-to-head
Man City has not lost to Leipzig in their last three champions league matches, with two wins and one draw. Man City emerged victorious with a 3-1 win when they played against Leipzig in Germany in October.
Prediction
Leipzig is a skilled team and fully earned their place in the competition’s knockout round. However, we are hesitant to support their chances of achieving a favorable outcome in this match. Manchester City is aiming to clinch the top spot in the group and is expected to have superior quality compared to the Bundesliga team in this encounter.
