Man City vs RB Leipzig

What you need to know ahead of the Man City vs. RB Leipzig game at 4 p.m. on Tuesday.

They'll dominate possession, they'll have their clean looks, and if they can defend set pieces well, they'll be quarterfinal bound. If he isn't available, a lot of pressure will fall on Andre Silva, the 27-year-old Portuguese who was supposed to be the next big thing when he left Porto for AC Milan in 2017. Also, don't necessarily be fooled by Haaland's lack of involvement. While it hasn't officially ruled him out, not having him would be a massive blow to a team that needs his ball skill and ability to finish in front of goal. He can put the ball in the back of the net in a variety of ways and has the composure and skill to put away any team in a moment's notice. He's the focal point of the attack and will be needed to stretch the field to give space to a midfield that likes to infiltrate the box. City are going to aim to deliver an early punch, and the expectation is for RB Leipzig to prioritize defending early on and look to do damage on the counter. The attack, at times, can lack the conviction needed to prove they can be consistent contenders, with the weekend 1-0 Crystal Palace a prime where they again struggle to put a high rate of their shots on goal (just four of 14), needing a late penalty kick to take the three points. The pressure is all on City here as a shock elimination would be a colossal failure for a team that is win or burst. City dictated the game with their 62% possession but managed to put just three of their 12 shots on frame as RB Leipzig grew into the game in the second half and managed to keep everything in front of them defensively to hold onto a result that gives them life in the second leg. [Paramount+](https://www.paramountplus.com/?cbscidmt=sports&ftag=PPM-03-10aie0i) The English side went to Germany and got a 1-1 draw in the first leg with all to play for in the second leg.

Marco Rose must be sick of the sight of Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League knockout stages. This will be his fourth-such match in the competition, ...

Mahrez has been involved in 11 goals across his last 12 starts in the knockout stages of the UEFA Champions League (seven goals, four assists) and has also netted in all three matches against RB Leipzig. All four of those have lifted the European Cup trophy – something Mahrez and his City teammates will be desperate to replicate this season. Whether it’s Chelsea, Liverpool or even Wednesday’s opponents who end up landing the Croatian – the sides know they’ll be getting a player who have proved more than comfortable with the ball at his feet in the UEFA Champions League this season. City have won 14 home matches in the UEFA Champions League since the start of the 2020-21 season (D1 L0), which is three more than any other side. When it comes to the big moments in a season, sometimes is the less likely of stars who shine. Every time he has scored in the Bundesliga this season, RB Leipzig have failed to lose (seven). But City have won just one of their last four matches (D2 L1) against German opponents in the competition, having won nine consecutively previously. A 1-0 victory from the penalty spot against a struggling opponent might not seem like the most resounding of performances to the naked eye, but Man City were rewarded for their patience against Crystal Palace on Saturday. Meanwhile, Erling Haaland will be hoping to build upon the home form in the Champions League that has made him such a threat. Whether he will be able to shake off the thigh injury that kept him out of the weekend’s action is looking less and less likely. Here’s our Man City vs RB Leipzig prediction and preview ahead of the big game. This will be his fourth-such match in the competition, with the previous three all coming against City.

“We’ve not won it but I feel we’ve done really well in the Champions League,” he said.

Man City have made things a bit harder on themselves than they'll have wished as they welcome RB Leipzig to The Etihad for the second leg of their Champions ...

While we think Man City will win this match, there is value on this pick at 5/1 odds. RB Leipzig lead the Bundesliga in second half expected goals with 27.32 xG, and they have the fifth-best second half expected goals against at 15.48 xGA. The recent loss to Dortmund was a perfect example, as they pummeled BVB in the second half but just couldn't find the final ball. No Nkunku, no problem for RB Leipzig, who should be able to breach the Man City back line with both teams going all-out for the win. RB Leipzig got a set-piece goal from Josko Gvardiol in the first leg and generated more good chances throughout the match, so they'll be primed for this match in England. Mahrez has put up a similar shot volume across Premier League and Champions League play, but the quality of his chances vary greatly between the two competitions. Pep Guardiola has rotated Phil Foden and Riyad Mahrez on the right wing to great effect this season, attempting to keep both players healthy yet in good form. Meanwhile, RB Leipzig are around 7/1 underdogs to win outright in the 90 minutes, and 4/1 underdogs to advance. Pep Guardiola has an entirely fit squad to choose from as Man City welcome their German opponents, a rarity in the modern game with so many fixtures to contest. The problem for Leipzig, in the absence of Nkunku, will be finishing chances. The hosts are given around 1/3 odds to win and 1/6 odds to advance, depending on sports book. Still, fitness levels favour the hosts, who have a fully fit squad, while Leipzig look to work around the continued injury absence of talisman Christopher Nkunku.

The Blues will take on the Red Bulls! Catch our Champions League odds series with this Man City-RB Leipzig prediction and pick.

The Sky Blues play like a wild beast on their home turf, and that will likely continue in this game. Leipzig has a 4-4-4 record in away games in the Bundesliga, scoring 21 goals while giving up 19. Christopher Nkunku and Andre Silva lead the team with three goals in the Champions League, while Mohamed Simakan has four goal contributions for the team. Leipzig is also headed to the DFB Pokal, facing BVB in the quarterfinals in April. The Red Bulls, at one point in this campaign, had an 18-game unbeaten streak from October to February in official tourneys; including three friendly games against Mlada Boleslav, AC Horsens, and Radomiak Radom, that streak was an impressive 21 wins in a row. RB Leipzig is currently in third place in the Bundesliga standings. Haaland has five goals in the Champions League, while Riyad Mahrez has three. After a 1-0 loss to Tottenham Hotspurs in their first match in February, the Blues went on a nine-game unbeaten run, which included a 1-1 draw to Nottingham Forest in the Prem and the same scoreline with today’s visitors. The Cityzens are competing in the Champions League knockout rounds for the 10th successive year. Man City boasts of Erling Haaland, the summer signing of the club who leads the Prem with 28 goals, and Kevin De Bruyne, the Belgian vice-captain who has 12 assists to his name to lead England’s top flight. Manchester City is one of the favorite teams to win this tournament. In official tourneys and friendly matches, the Red Bulls were unbeaten in 19 games from October to January.

The pressure is huge on Guardiola to name the correct team at the Etihad as Man City go in search of the one trophy that's so far eluded them. Now as Guardiola looks to balance Man City's ambitions in Europe, the Premier League and the FA Cup, all eyes will be on the XI he selects for the second leg of the last-16 clash. Now as they bid to make the Champions League quarter-finals for just the second time in their history, RB Leipzig will look to their host of dangermen to do the business in east Manchester. The Spaniard inexplicably named a team without Rodri for the 2021 Champions League final and it backfired as Man City got beat 1-0 by Chelsea in their only visit to the showpiece clash.

'We have to win the game, and to win we have to try. 'We want to be more and have more active in defence and have more possession. Have to be in the right tempo for pressing.

Manchester City and RB Leipzig face off for a place in the Champions League quarterfinals. Riyad Mahrez gave City the lead in Germany but Josko Gvardiol ...

Manchester City are generally imperious at this stage of the competition, last falling in the Round of 16 to Monaco in 2017. Riyad Mahrez and Phil Foden have to be content with a place on the bench as Bernardo Silva and Jack Grealish complete the front three either side of Erling Haaland. 1 hour from kickoff: It's hard not to feel a little aggrieved for Riyad Mahrez, who gave City the lead in the first leg in Germany. The visitors deal with the corner with the minimum of fuss. The France star scored a hattrick at the Etihad Stadium last season, albeit in a 6-3 group-stage defeat. As City line up to face Leipzig goalkeeper Blaswich in possession it looks like De Bruyne will play in the frontline, with Silva in midfield. Referee Slavko Vincic consults the monitor and in UEFA "rules is rules" terms, that's a penalty. But Marco Rose will be fuming at both the penalty decision and the manner in which his side defended that corner at the end of the first half. De Bruyne unleashes a blistering left-footed strike that cannons off the crossbar, into the turf and Haaland heads into an unguarded net. The importance of Grealish to this approach was clear for all to see, especially in the tight and tense early stages. Of course it was from a corner because the Leipzig defence have entirely lost the run of themselves. Haaland pressured Blaswich into a hasty clearance shortly after the restart and the ball came back with interest.

On Tuesday, Pep Guardiola will continue his quest to win the Champions League as Manchester City host RB Leipzig in the round of 16 second leg after a 1-1 ...

[Paramount+](https://www.paramountplus.com/?cbscidmt=sports&ftag=PPM-03-10aie0i) RB Leipzig are a team that know Haaland well from his time in the Bundesliga and Josko Gvardiol is a talented center back that can keep up with Haaland's movement. But returning to basics, Foden and City can unlock what has been a strong Lepzig defense. It has been an up-and-down season for the Englishman, coming in and out of the lineup. With everyone expected to come back in for this match, it will give Foden a chance to do what he does best in support of Haaland. As of late, he has been a mainstay on the right wing with two goals and an assist in his last four starts. The team should have been good enough at half-strength to get points off of Palace and thanks to a chance from the spot by Erling Haaland, they were. Walker will likely come back into the lineup for John Stones who started at right-back against Crystal Palace which gives Foden more space to work on the wing. On Tuesday, Pep Guardiola will continue his quest to win the Champions League as Manchester City host RB Leipzig in the round of 16 second leg after a 1-1 draw in the first leg in Germany.

Manchester City will host RB Leipzig on Tuesday night in what will be a straight shoot-out for a ticket to the Champions League quarter-finals.

Thereafter, City players will head to their respective national camps for the two-week international break. Manchester City will next host Vincent Kompany's Burnley in the quarter-finals of the FA Cup. As far as potential difference-makers go, they don't come any better than Norwegian hitman Erling Haaland, who will be looking to fire Manchester City into the quarter-finals of the Champions League tonight.

The ooze of crude petroleum will likely prove too much for the sugary fizz of energy drink but hey, it’s football and anything can happen. 6 min: Orban blasts what should have been a simple pass out of play, under pressure from the City press. It seems that they’re quite happy to let the game flow at City’s pace, and bend like a willow, as Taylor Swift once sang about, but probably not with artistic inspiration from Big Cup footy” – Bill Preston Leipzig deal with it easily enough, despite Akanji winning a header at the far post. The ball’s rolled back to Ake, who curls infield.

Pep Guardiola's City and Marco Rose's Leipzig go into the second leg of their Champions League round of 16 tie all-square. Kick-off at 4pm ET.

He must due one (or maybe two or three)... Pep Guardiola’s men had dominated the first half and looked to be on course to secure an impressive victory after Riyad Mahrez had put them in front just before the half-hour mark. It looked as if Real Madrid were going to completely run away with RB Leipzig's Champions League group but the Germans ultimately finished just a point behind the reigning European champions in second place. The domestic season looked to be going so promisingly for RB Leipzig as they chase a first-ever Bundesliga crown. Guardiola won the competition twice with Barcelona in 2009 and 2011 and looked set to dominate the Champions League for years on end. The Spaniard failed to deliver in Germany and hasn't done so in England either. Raum curled a good ball into the area and the midfielder had a reasonable amount of space to get an effort away. The Brazilian gets the slightest, slightest of touches on it and apparently that's not a foul. Gundogan and Haaland both had early opportunities to find the net, although City needed a dubious penalty to make the breakthrough, with Henrichs harshly punished for handball in the box. Grealish rolls the ball into Gundogan from the left, the German faints to shoot and cuts onto his left foot and drills a lot shot into the far corner. Silva heads a corner across goal, Haaland's header is saved by Blaswich but it falls back to the striker who lashes into the net. That must surely be one of the most one-sided Champions League knockout matches in history.

Guardiola had said beforehand he knows his time at City will be judged by some on whether he wins the Champions League. With Leipzig beaten, all that talk of Haaland struggling to see the ball felt farcical - it appeared drawn to him. He is the first man in nine years to score five in a Champions League game and it might have been more had Pep Guardiola not withdrawn him. In a week in which his manager had told him to focus on the simple things, he duly completed the rout by curling the ball into the top corner of the net with the final kick of the match. The second of them to come before the half-time whistle. That saw Timo Werner lead the line on his own. The second, just two minutes later, was magnificent, a towering header after De Bruyne's shot had struck the crossbar. His tally for the season now stands at 39.
