Reason for Manchester City vs RB Leipzig Predictions
The Citizens are used to by now doing the hard work and playing for trophies on multiple fronts in this part of the season, so doing it this year again makes it worth it for Pep Guardiola and his team. Phil Foden is the only player missing from training thus far, but he should be available to play against the German team. The second prediction for Man City vs Leipzig match is based on the fact that Manchester City doesn’t defend well against Leipzig. They conceded goals in each of their three head-to-head matches, with two of them being played in Germany. Even in the Premiership, City was scored upon in four out of their last five games. The unsung hero for Manchester City in many ways, the Algerian midfielder scored in the first leg against Leipzig and has been a mainstay in Guardiola’s top eleven for as long as he has been at the club. He scored five league goals this season with four assists and added another three goals in the Champions League. Phil Foden shows his talent and should be one of the leading players in the future. Jack Grealish is a great player, he creates a lot of problems for his opponents, and the greatest virtue of this guy is speed.
The German club understands that they are the underdogs in this matchup and will be aiming to show some strength in the back line and try to subdue their opponent’s powerful offensive tactics. As if there weren’t enough problems for Leipzig ahead of the Manchester trip, last weekend against Dortmund, they once again lost Christopher Nkunku to injury, and Xaver Schlager was also injured during the same game. There are additional health concerns for Leipzig: Dani Olmo, Abdou Diallo, and Peter Gulacsi are all out for at least a few more weeks. Dominik Szoboszlai is the engine of this team, his greatest virtue is speed, and he has excellent ball control and can be satisfied with his performance. The bench players are expected to show as much as possible and impose themselves on the selector for the starting lineup.
Conclusion
It is going to be an exciting clash, as RB Leipzig is not without a chance of remaining undefeated. However, we believe Manchester City should meet the expectations and deliver a win.
We can expect a big fight between these two teams, and both of them should be able to score. One thing is for sure – football fans should enjoy this game.
