THE PREDICTION
Man City will finish top of Group A regardless of the result here while Leipzig - who parted ways with coach Jesse Marsch over the weekend - are unable to advance to the round of 16 but can secure a berth in the Europa League assuming Club Brugge do not better their result. Pep Guardiola will no doubt rest some of his key men here but such is the strength of his squad that it will still be a formidable City line-up, while Leipzig have proven that they can be dangerous having scored 13 goals in their five group games to date. The reverse fixture between the two was a nine-goal thriller on Matchday 1 and this could easily be another goalfest, with over 2.5 goals or even over 3.5 goals worth looking at.
