    Planet Sport Bet ambassador Robbie Savage believes Man City could face a third straight defeat for the first time in five years when the Citizens travel to Germany for their Champions League clash.

    City, when they go to Leipzig, haven’t got a great record. They’ve been there twice, they drew one and they lost one. 

    City haven’t lost three consecutive games since 2018. Leipzig lost in the first round of the Bundesliga but since then unbeaten in seven in all competitions. Fifth in the Bundesliga.

    I think Leipzig will beat City once again so it will be more misery for City in Leipzig. I’m going with a 2-1 Leipzig win.

    Robbie’s Tip: RB Leipzig 2-1 Manchester City

    Team news

    RB Leipzig’s injury list makes for worrisome reading as El Chadaille Bitshiabu, Kevin Kampl, Dani Olmo, Willi Orban and Timo Werner miss out.

    Man City, on the other hand, are still without Kevin De Bruyne. Bernardo Silva is also a doubt and could miss out.

    Key stats

    - Manchester City haven’t lost three straight games since April 2018

    - RB Leipzig are unbeaten in seven games across all competitions, winning six

    - Manchester City beat RB Leipzig 7-0 in their last meeting (March 2023)

    - Manchester City are winless in their two previous visits to Leipzig

    When these two sides last met in March 2023, Manchester City dished out an absolute spanking as they put seven goals past the German outfit.

    RB Leipzig will be targeting revenge and the timing could not have been any better for them.

    While Die Roten Bullen are in the ascendancy – having won six of their last seven games – Manchester City have hit a road bump.

    The English champions arrive on the back of successive defeats against Newcastle and Wolverhampton, leaving Pep Guardiola’s men on the periphery of a rare third straight loss – something we haven’t seen in five years.

    City have never won away at Leipzig and the German outfit are fresh from frustrating Bayern Munich in a 2-2 draw.

    More goals are expected to flow in this one and we’re backing both teams to get on the scoresheet.
