Champions League
These teams last met in the Champions League group stage in 2023, with Manchester City winning 3:1 in Germany and 3:2 in England. Looking further back, these teams have met a total of six times, with RB Leipzig winning once and MC winning four times.
When it comes to the number of goals, five out of six h2h games ended with three or more goals, while both teams scored in the same number of games (five).
RB Leipzig team overview
RB Leipzig have been excellent last season, finishing 3rd in the Bundesliga, only behind Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. This season, they are once again doing a solid job in the domestic competitions as they are in 4th place with 15 points after the first eight rounds and are only three points away from the top spot.
However, in the Champions League, they lost two out of three games, with their win coming against PSV. They have a really challenging schedule in the Champions League, and every game feels super important. Even though they are a big underdog in this game against MC, they are probably facing them at the right moment, considering they are winless in the last three games.
Marc Guiu and Assan Ouedraogo should remain sidelined with injuries, while Maxime Esteve is questionable due to a knock.

Manchester City team overview
Manchester City entered the season with eight wins in a row after losing the Community Shield to Arsenal. However, since then, the Citizens seemed to slow down, and their defensive performances were particularly worrisome. In the past six games across competitions, they won only against Ipswich and AEK while failing to keep a clean sheet each time. Overall, they looked great at times, but they need to be a lot more consistent, especially on defense, if they want to be considered one of the main favorites for the titles.
In the Champions League, they earned six points by beating FC Porto and AEK Athens, but lost 4:2 to PSG, proving their defensive issues are real. Their remaining schedule is pretty challenging, but they are still (probably) one win away from securing the next stage.
When it comes to injuries, the Citizens should be almost complete, with only Antoine Semenyo missing with a knee injury.

Prediction
RB Leipzig are in good form, winning three in a row with eight goals scored - 2.7 per game. Therefore, we firmly believe they will get on the scoresheet and help us win the bet. Also, in the Champions League, they went over 3.5 goals in two out of three games.
Manchester City also went over the mentioned line in two of their three Champions League games. Lately, they have played high-scoring games almost constantly, given their serious defensive issues and their strong offensive potential. Due to that combination, they went over 3.5 goals in four of the past six games.
Additionally, these teams went over 3.5 goals in the past three h2h games. Considering all the above, we expect a high-scoring game, likely with both teams scoring.
4 Reasons why we should see four or more goals
- Both teams went over 3.5 goals in two of their three Champions League games
- RB Leipzig scored eight goals in the last three games
- Manchester City went over 3.5 goals in four out of the last six games across competitions
- The last three h2h games ended with four or more goals
