Manchester City are hoping to win again after their last result, the 0-1 Premier League success against Crystal Palace.
In that game, Manchester City managed 68% possession and 14 attempts at goal with 4 of them on target. The scorer for Manchester City was Erling Haaland (78'). Crystal Palace had 4 attempts on goal with 0 on target.
Their most recent results show that huge efforts have been put in by the Manchester City defence. Manchester City have been miserly, seeing the total number of goals that have flown into the back of their net over the course of their past six games standing at 3.
RB Leipzig will go into this meeting following on from a 3-0 Bundesliga 1 win as they beat Borussia Mönchengladbach in their most recent fixture.
In that match, RB Leipzig managed 66% possession and 14 shots on goal with 9 on target. For RB Leipzig, the goals were scored by Timo Werner (58'), Emil Forsberg (71') and Joško Gvardiol (80'). Borussia Mönchengladbach got 7 attempts at goal with 3 on target.
In as many as 5 out of the previous 6 games involving RB Leipzig, at least three goals have been struck. The overall average number of goals per match within that time is 2.83, with the number of goals averaged by RB Leipzig being 1.83. That kind of pattern won’t necessarily follow through into this game, though.
In this game, RB Leipzig will have a difficult task to find the net against a Manchester City team who appear set to set up a big win.
I can see a comprehensive 3-0 win for Manchester City at the end of the 90 minutes.
