RB Leipzig v Manchester City in the first leg of the Champions League Round of 16 is scheduled for Wednesday 22 February at 10pm at the Red Bull Arena live on Digi Sport 1, Orange. Sport 1 and Prima Sport 1.
“Leipzig” and “Manchester City” meet in one of the most unbalanced “doubles” of the 1/8 finals of the Champions League, but few can surprise.
Leipzig come off the back of an emphatic 3-0 Bundesliga win at Wolfsburg to sit 5th in the table, four points behind leaders Bayern Munich and just one point off a Champions League spot.
“Leipzig” has the third attack in the German championship with 43 goals scored after Bayern Munich (61) and Borussia Dortmund (44).
Marco Rose’s side reached this phase of the competition after finishing second in a group won by Real Madrid, which also included Shakhtar Donetsk and Celtic Glasgow (four wins and two losses).
Leipzig has one Champions League semi-final in the 2019-2020 season, when they lost 0-3 to Paris Saint-Germain in the final tournament organized in Lisbon.
Manchester City were held to a 1-1 draw by Nottingham Forest in their last official match in the Premier League, having conceded a spot at leaders Arsenal, who now have two points in hand and a game in hand.
The City have lost just one of their last seven away games at Tottenham in the Championship, but on the other hand, they have won just one of their last five trips, losing three and drawing once.
In the Champions League, Pep Guardiola’s unbeaten side (four wins and two draws) beat a group that also included Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla and FC Copenhagen.
Manchester City’s best game in the Champions League is the 2020-2021 season finale, losing 0-1 to Chelsea in Porto.
The two teams also met last season in the Champions League in the group stage and each won at home: Manchester City, who finished in first place, with a score of 6-3, and Leipzig, who finished third at the end, with a score of 2-1.
Superbet offers odds of 1.67 on the GG prediction: both teams will score in the match between Leipzig and Manchester City.
