Man City vs RB Leipzig score prediction
Leipzig have some big injuries to contend with here and that may end up being their downfall in an enthralling game.
Defending usually goes out the window when these two sides meet and there's reason to believe that both will score once again, but it could come down to how big of a boost playing at the Etihad will provide for Pep Guardiola's side.
For the neutrals, this could be a fun one, with City likely to squeeze through.
Prediction: Man City 2-1 RB Leipzig
