Over 2.5 @ 1.70 odds on Bet9ja

This game is between two teams that are known for their attacking styles, as both have also not looked their best defensively this season. Manchester City scored 14 goals in six group games, averaging over two goals per game. Leipzig, on the other hand, scored 13 goals in the group stage but conceded nine goals. The two UCL meetings between these sides have produced a total of 12 goals. It is a no-brainer to back goals in this tie. 

Both teams to score @ 1.67 odds on SportyBet

Leipzig might have found joy in front of the net during the UCL group stage but they could not keep it tight at the back. As for Manchester City, they have conceded 24 goals after 24 Premier League games this season, having conceded 26 throughout last season, showing their dropoff defensively. 

Given the nature of both teams this season, we expect both defenses to be breached in this game.

Erling Haaland to score anytime @ 1.74 odds on SportyBet

Haaland has scored 32 goals this season, with five of those goals coming in four UCL games this season. He is City’s go-to guy for goals this season, and he is more likely to find the net than anyone in the City team.
