RB Leipzig will be aiming to make it four wins in a row when they host out-of-form Manchester City at the Red Bull Arena on Wednesday night.
Leipzig's form has been especially impressive at home. The weekend rout of Elversberg means that Martín Demichelis's side have now won all five of their games at the Red Bull Arena this season without conceding a goal. However, hefty defeats on the road at Como and Real Madrid mean that Leipzig are currently down in 29th place in the Champions League table.
After starting the seaosn in imperious form, Manchester City have regressed in recent weeks. Saturday's limp 0-1 defeat at home to Brighton means City have lost back-to-back Premier League fixtures and are no longer top of the table. Enzo Maresca's team were also soundly beaten at the Etihad by PSG in the Champions League last month in a match that highlighted the gulf in class between City and the current European champions.

Our Leipzig vs Manchester City Prediction
These are worrying times for City. Their massive financial issues are clearly impacting their on-field performances, which makes it very hard to trust them, especially against quality opposition such as Leipzig.
The Germans have been outstanding at home this seaosn, so it is surprising to see them as long as 4.60 to defeat City on Wednesday.
Whilst that price represents excellent value, we think the sensible option is to take Leipzig on the one goal handicap. Doing that will ensure you collect a payout, even if the game ends in a draw.
Our prediction for RB Leipzig vs Manchester City is: Leipzig (+1) to win.
