Leipzig’s struggles in the season continued in the Bundesliga over the weekend and they will be hoping for a better week when they host Manchester City. The two face off in Group A with Leipzig only playing for a place in the Europa League. Leipzig have four points, in third place, while Manchester City are top on 12 points. The top two slots are already confirmed, but Leipzig needs a win here to confirm their place in Europa League. While they are among the best scorers so far in the Champions League, defensively, it has been calamitous for Leipzig. They have 13 goals but also conceded as many, in five matches. Going to this game, they have three losses in four matches but they have failed to score in just one of their last 18 matches. In seven of their last 10 matches, both sides have scored.

Manchester City scored six goals against this Leipzig side in their first meeting in this group, but still conceded three. That is just one of their five matches in the competition this season where they have no clean sheet. In fact, in the last 10 Champions League matches, they have just one clean sheet, while they have failed to score in two of the 10. Manchester City have already confirmed top spot and are expected to rest key players. With their defensive issues, they should expect a tough outing at Leipzig who are trying to get a third place finish. Ahead of this game, City beat Watford 3-1, conceding for the fourth straight time, but it was their fifth straight win.
