- RB Leipzig are 29th with 3 points from 3 matches in the UEFA Champions League 2026/2027.
- Manchester City are 10th with 6 points from 3.
Fast paced game likely at Red Bull Arena
Two very different styles should come together at Red Bull Arena, Leipzig on Wednesday and that could lead to a fast-paced tactical battle.
RB Leipzig have won three and lost two of their last five matches and are currently riding a three-game winning run.
They've won back-to-back away games, first beating SC Rot-Weiss Essen 2-1 in the DFB Pokal before coming away with a 2-0 success over FC Schalke 04 in the Bundesliga.
Martin Demichelis has got Leipzig pressing relentlessly and they've got some serious speed on the wings, making them a handful in transition.
However, Manchester City will have a different plan for this game.
Enzo Maresca's men have been playing patient positional play, controlling the ball and rotating into space, creating chaos for the opponents to defend.
City's away form has been a little rocky this season, with them failing to win (W0, D0, L1).
But they have been deadly away from home in the UEFA Champions League 2026/2027, winning their only away game and scoring two goals in that win.
City’s cool possession play to prevail
We can't look past a Manchester City win for this match, but the odds are low and we want to get more value for our money by looking at the goals markets.
Over 2.5 goals is the clear favourite here.
So we're leaning towards the BTTS No bet here at a much more palatable 17/10.
City's cooler approach could allow them to control the play and punish Leipzig in the pockets of space left by their aggressive pressing style, so we're going with both teams to score no.
Erling Haaland leads the way for City in the UEFA Champions League 2026/2027 with two goals in one match so he is the man to fear, but RB Leipzig have the pace to match City's wingers and Christopher Nkunku has provided the creative spark for them so far, with one assist in one UEFA Champions League 2026/2027 match.
Andrija Maksimovic is Leipzig's top scorer in the UEFA Champions League 2026/2027 with one goal in one game, so he could be the man to punish City at the other end of the pitch on Wednesday.
