Man City vs. RB Leipzig picks and predictions
Prediction
Man City 3, RB Leipzig 2
Moneyline (ML)
PASS.
City has been dominant at home in league play and beat Leipzig on the road as well. There's no real reason to assume Leipzig can bounce back against a well-coached side like City here. It had 1.7 fewer expected goals at home in the 1st matchup.
The draw isn't even worth a play here, and one should completely avoid a moneyline play.
Over/Under (O/U)
BET OVER 3.5 (+115).
RB Leipzig has a strong attack. That is their bread and butter. They have scored 2 or more goals in 2 of their last 3 matches and have scored 3 or more goals in 4 of their last 8. They put 1 on City in the 1st matchup and scored 2 on the Bundesliga's best team, Bayern Munich, in a league play earlier in the season.
City, on the other hand, had 3 goals on the road in the 1st game and is averaging over 2.5 per game in league play, which has several high-caliber sides. City has scored 3 or more in 5 of their last 6 games throughout all competitions. They have gone Over even this total in 3 of their last 6.
Take OVER 3.5 (+115).
