RB Leipzig take on the visitors Manchester City in the round 2 match of UEFA Champions League group stage. The match will be played on Wednesday, October 4th at Red Bull Arena (Leipzig).
RB Leipzig have avoided the slumps of previous seasons. The Bulls have relatively quickly established themselves among the leaders of German football. It's not surprising that the results of both the autumn of 2021 and the start of the previous season were considered failures. As a result, they first called Domenico Tedesco, and then replaced him with Marco Rose. By the way, each time this helped save the season. The current coach clearly doesn't want to repeat the fate of his predecessors, and the new start for his team has been if not excellent, then very good. They have been actively earning points in the Bundesliga, winning a lot, and they crushed Bayern Munich 3-0 in the Supercup. They also managed to defeat Young Boys in Switzerland with a comfortable score of 3-1.

Manchester City are playing in the role of the defending champion in the Champions League for the first time this autumn. The Citizens have long pursued their ambitious goal of winning the Champions League. It was only under Pep Guardiola, and only after many failures, including the loss to Chelsea in the 2021 final, that they finally achieved success. And now, in his style, the Catalan coach is launching a project refreshment - we remember the departures of Gundogan, Mahrez, and others, as well as some newcomers. By the way, the most expensive transfer of this transfer window was Guardiola, precisely from RB Leipzig, for 90 million. The start of the new season has been pretty good for the Sky Blues. Yes, they did lose the FA Community Shield to Arsenal - but that's another example of how this title is not essential for a grand club. For instance, they won the UEFA Super Cup against Sevilla, even if it was in a penalty shootout. They also managed to secure a series of victories in the early stages of the Premier League and started the Champions League with a 3-1 win against Red Star Belgrade. However, they allowed the Serbians to open the scoring in foggy Albion.
In 2021, the teams played in the group stage, and all the decisive English players allowed the hosts to win in the 6th round after a home victory in Germany. In February of this year, in the playoffs, there was initially a draw in Leipzig, but then Guardiola demolished Rose 7-0 in foggy Albion. Judging by the odds, a victory for the English giants is expected, and it seems to be an easy one. However, it's not certain that they will be that eager to pursue it. So for now, let's go with the option of total under 3.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.5 scored goals.
