Both teams have already qualified for the play-offs. This game will answer only one question - who will top the group. Manchester City have won all games of the Champions League so far, scoring 12 goals and conceding only 3. They beat RB Leipzig in the first game in Germany (3:1). The only thing that can affect the English side is that they had a tough game in the Premier League on Saturday. The match versus Liverpool ended in a draw (1:1).

Besides the match versus Man City, the German team has won without significant problems the games against Young Boys and Red Star (on two occasions).

Man City vs RB Leipzig prediction
There’s no doubt about who will win this game. The current level of the English side is too high for RB Leipzig to reach it. Yes, both teams have more important matches in their domestic leagues now. I think that the managers will let some players from the bench participate in this game. It seems to me that we can see quite many goals scored in this match as neither of the sides will be careful.
