Man City HT/FT & Alvarez to score
The two sides have already secured their places in the Champions League knockout stages but have the top spot in Group G to play for.
Manchester City currently occupy the top spot, three points clear of second-place RB Leipzig. Pep Guardiola’s side are yet to drop a point in the tournament, having won all four of their games up to this point.
A win or even a draw for City will see them secure the top spot in the group ahead of their final group game against Red Star Belgrade in December.
In the reverse fixture, Man City reigned supreme with a 3-1 victory in Germany. They are unbeaten in the Champions League since their second-leg defeat to Real Madrid in the semi-finals of the 21/22 tournament.
Leipzig must win on Tuesday to have a shot at clinching the top spot in the group. However, it’s worth noting that Man City haven’t lost at home in Europe since August 2020, highlighting the huge challenge facing the visiting team here.
Prediction: Man City 2-0 RB Leipzig
Manchester City vs RB Leipzig Betting Tips
- Man City half-time/full-time @ 10/11
- Julian Alvarez to score @ 7/5
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 5/2
Manchester City vs RB Leipzig Betting Tip 1: City Half-Time/Full-Time @ 10/11
Pep Guardiola’s side come into the game having drawn their previous two, which they’ll be disappointed with despite them being against Chelsea and Liverpool. Such are the standards they’ve set over the years.
They trail Arsenal in the Premier League by a point and will have one eye on the huge game against Tottenham on the weekend. For now though, they must focus on RB Leipzig, a talented team in their own right.
We expect Guardiola to lineup with a strong team, with the aim of getting the job done relatively early before seeing the game out in a professional manner. Man City to be winning at both half-time and full-time landed in the reverse fixture, and at 10/11, it represents good value here.
Manchester City vs RB Leipzig Betting Tip 2: Julian Alvarez to score @ 7/5
Julian Alvarez has helped fill the void left by an injured Kevin De Bruyne, picking up the Belgian’s creative mantra and goalscoring from that right half-space.
The World Cup winner has seven goals for Man City this season, including three in as many games in the Champions League. That is why the 7/5 price for him to bag against Leipzig appeals.
