RB Leipzig vs Manchester City Preview

RB Leipzig are currently in fifth place in the Bundesliga standings and have been fairly impressive on the domestic front this season. The home side defeated VfL Wolfsburg by a comfortable 3-0 scoreline over the weekend and will need to work hard to achieve a similar scoreline in this fixture.

Manchester City, on the other hand, are in second place in the Premier League table at the moment and have not been at their best this season. The Cityzens were held to a disappointing 1-1 draw by Nottingham Forest in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.
