RB Leipzig vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips (4 October)

RB Leipzig is off to a strong start this new season since, apart from its defeat on the first day of the Bundesliga against Bayer Leverkusen 3-2, it remained undefeated. He notably won on the pitch of Bayern to win the German Super Cup, and of the Swiss team Young Boys Berne 1-3 during the first day of this group stage of the Champions League. In total, Xavi Simons' teammates remained on a series of six successive successes in all competitions before receiving the German champion and European juggernaut, Bayern Munich. A real test match for Marco Rose's men who had won, not without difficulty, their 32nd final of the German Cup against Wehen in midweek D2, 2-3.

On Saturday, the RBL missed a great opportunity to win. While they led by 2 goals at the break, they were unable to preserve their advantage in the second half 2-2. In the ranking, they find themselves in 5th position with 3 lengths behind the leader, Bayer Leverkusen.

There is trouble within this German squad with in particular the withdrawal of the Hungarian international, Willi Orban (injured), the former resident of PSG, El Chadaille, the Spanish crack Olmo (2 goals in 3 appearances in the Bundesliga , hat-trick in the German Super Cup), replacement goalkeeper Schlieck and striker Werner. Hit against Bayern on Saturday, midfielder Kampl could also throw in the towel this week. On the other hand, Marco Rose should be able to count on his summer recruits Openda (ex-Lille, 4 goals in BL) and the Dutch international Xavi Simons (PSG, loan) author of 3 goals and 4 assists in the Bundesliga. During the first day in Switzerland, let's remember that the French defender Simakan crashed, later imitated by Schlager and the Slovenian international Sesko (5 goals in all competitions). Opposite, let's remember that the master of play Kevin de Bruyne is still on on the tile.

Too close last weekend, the imperial John Stones and the Portuguese star Bernardo Silva (4 goals, 5 assists in PL last year) are hoped for this trip to Germany. He had disgusted Leipzig in the round of 16 last season on his return to the Etihad by scoring a quintuple in 60 minutes, Erling Haaland is already hot this season with a total of 8 goals in the league although he remained silent against the Etoile Rouge during the 1st day. The Norwegian Cyborg will obviously be there like the Rennes recruit, Doku who is gaining minutes without forgetting Jack Grealish and the excellent Rodri. Author of a double during the first day, Alvarez (2 pawns, 3 assists in PL) could play as number 10 in support of Haaland this evening in a 4-2-3-1.
