The first leg of the Champions League round of 16 tie between RB Leipzig and Manchester City will take place on Wednesday at the Red Bull Arena.

RB Leipzig

RB Leipzig finished second in Group F, behind Real Madrid, with four wins and two losses. RB Leipzig is currently fifth in the Bundesliga after defeating Wolfsburg 3-0 in their most recent league game. The previous 1-2 home loss to Union Berlin had ended their 18-game unbeaten run, and this was their first defeat at home in 12 games in all competitions.

Manchester City

Manchester City tops Group G with four wins and two draws. After a 1-1 away draw with Nottingham Forest at the weekend, City enters this match in second place in the Premier League. However, they must improve their away form, as they have only one win, one draw, and three defeats in their last five visits in all competitions.

Prediction:

RB Leipzig has a strong home record throughout the season, whereas City struggles on the road. As a result, my prediction for this match is that RB Leipzig will win the handicap.

AH Pick: RB Leipzig +0.5/1
