Phil Foden is dealing with a foot injury, but it’s expected that he’s going to be able to go in this game. Kevin De Bruyne was on the bench in the last game, but he could move into the starting lineup here.
RB Leipzig Betting Preview
On the other side of this matchup is RB Leipzig, who are coming off a victory on Saturday. RB Leipzig faced off against Mönchengladbach, and they were able to secure a 3-0 victory. Two games ago, in Dortmund, they were defeated 2-1. Nkunka, Xaver Schlager, Peter Gulacsi, and Abdou Diallo are all going to be missing this game because of injuries. In this game, RB Leipzig is going to have to push numbers forward because a draw isn’t going to be enough for them to advance to the next round.
Shane’s Free Pick
Manchester City’s offense is the strength of this team, but RB Leipzig knows they need to take chances with the defense because they are going to need to find a way to score goals. Pushing numbers forward is going to exploit the back line, and Manchester City is going to get the job done. Back Manchester City -1.5 to cash here.
