The RB Leipzig team will challenge the Manchester City team in a 2e ronde UEFA Champions League in Red Bull Arena Stadium, Leipzig on Wednesday, October 04, 2023. For streaming coverage of RB Leipzig vs Man City, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
RB Leipzig and Man City will face off in the second match of the Champions League group stage on Wednesday (4/10) evening local time. Both teams are in group G which is considered quite easy, along with Red Star Belgrade and Young Boys. Who will emerge victorious in this match?
Leipzig started the season very well, when they beat Bundesliga champions Bayern Munich 3-0 in the final of the German Super Cup. They also achieved six consecutive wins in all competitions, including a 2-1 victory over Young Boys in the first match of the Champions League group stage.
However, in their last match, RB Leipzig was stopped by a 2-2 draw with Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga last weekend. Despite dropping points, a draw against German football giants like Bayern Munich gave RB Leipzig the confidence needed to welcome the Man City players.
On the other hand, Man City is experiencing a small crisis. For the first time since last January, Man City suffered consecutive defeats in all competitions after losing 0-1 to Newcastle in the third round of the English League Cup and losing 1-2 to Wolves in the Premier League. It should be emphasized that The Citizens had only lost 2 of 41 matches before the match against Wolves.
Losing midfielder Rodri due to suspension has clearly had a big impact on Man City’s strength. However, in the match against Leipzig, the Spanish star will return and this will definitely help the defending champions. The problem is that Man City even when at the peak of their form still struggled against Leipzig, when they lost 1 and drew 1 on two visits to the Red Bulls Arena.
Leipzig will be without midfielder Kevin Kampl who has a hip injury, as well as several other players such as Timo Werner, Dani Olmo, Willi Orban and El Chadaille Bitshiabu. Man City will also be missing the injured Kevin De Bruyne and John Stones, while Bernardo Silva is still undecided, and of course Julian Alvares and Erling Haaland.
With the latest performance presented, it is estimated that a draw will be achieved at the end of the match. Although, Man City may have won 7-0 in their last meeting with Leipzig, but this scenario is difficult to repeat, when they face the home team who is in very good form.
