RB Leipzig vs Man City prediction and odds ahead of Champions League tie

Manchester City travel to Germany as European football returns on the agenda as Pep Guardiola's side face RB Leipzig at the Red Bull Arena as Marco Rose looks to make the most of the home advantage in the first-leg. The visitors will be looking to maintain Guardiola's impressive win record achieving 63% - higher than any manager to have taken charge of 50 or more Champions League matches.

City are the favourites going into this match at 4/5 with Betfred while RB Leipzig are 10/3 to surprise Guardiola and a draw is 11/4. The Citizens are the favourites to win their first European title at 7/4 with Bayern Munich behind at 7/2 while holders Real Madrid 11/1.

The Bundesliga hosts currently sit four points behind league leaders Bayern Munich in a title race which currently has up to six challengers at the moment. The typical two-horse race title race is wide open with notable performances from Borussia Dortmund, Union Berlin and SC Freiburg which has added the pressure on Julian Nagelsmann's job security at the Allianz Arena.
