Manchester City will aim to get back on track when they travel to the Red Bull Arena on November 4. RB Leipzig will have the home advantage for the Champions League fixture.

Leipzig in Winning Recent Form

Martin Demichelis will take confidence from RB Leipzig’s recent form, with wins recorded in the team’s last three games in all competitions.

Defensive improvement has been eye-catching, with clean sheets recorded in two of their victories over that period. Die Roten Bullen will be without striker Marc Guiu on Wednesday.

Romulo Cardoso excelled in his absence in Saturday’s 2-0 win against Schalke, scoring the second goal. Antonio Nusa has been in reliable recent form, registering five goal involvements in his last three appearances.

RB Leipzig predicted lineup vs Manchester City (4-5-1): Vandevoordt; Henrichs, Orban, Lukeba, Raum; Gruda, Reitz, El Aynaoui, Banzuzi, Nusa; Cardoso

Cracks Beginning to Show at City

Enzo Maresca's smooth start at Manchester City has ended with three defeats in six. Back-to-back Premier League defeats have seen the Citizens concede the top spot in the standings to Arsenal.

Saturday’s 1-0 loss against Brighton also marked the first time in 2026-27 that City have failed to score. Erling Haaland’s scoring output remains high, with six registered in five starts.

Antoine Semenyo is the only player missing due to injury. Iliman Ndiaye started in his place on Saturday, registering the joint-most shots in the defeat (4).

Manchester City predicted lineup vs RB Leipzig (4-2-3-1): Donnarumma; Nunes, Guehi, Dias, Gvardiol; Anderson, Fernandez; Ndiaye, Cherki, Doku; Haaland

Despite losing back-to-back league matches, Manchester City remain the standout selection. The Citizens have been dominant at this stage of the European competition, winning three of their last four away games.

Their overall road record in 2026-27 is strong, landing victories in four of their previous five. In contrast, Leipzig have lost three of their last five Champions League matches at the Red Bull Arena.
