Leipzig will ride at home to "Red Bull Arena" Manchester City, this Wednesday evening, in the first leg of the Champions League final.
Manchester City qualified for this round by topping its Group G with 14 points, which included Borussia Dortmund, Sevilla and Copenhagen, while Leipzig finished second with 12 points in Group F, which included Real Madrid, Shakhtar and Celtic.
Manchester City have lost just one of their last 17 Champions League games against German sides, recording 14 wins and two draws, and scoring an average of 2.6 goals per game in those games.
Manchester City suffered the only defeat against Leipzig in particular, and that was in the group stage of last season (2-1), and then City had secured qualification for the final price before playing that match.
In the first round meeting at the Etihad Stadium, City won (6-3), and then Christopher Nkunku scored a hat-trick for the German team to become the first player from Leipzig to score a hat-trick in the tournament, and he is looking in today's match for scoring for the third consecutive match in the tournament.
Of all the managers who have played at least 50 games in the Champions League, Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola has the highest winning percentage in the competition at 63 per cent, with 97 wins out of 154 games.
Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has scored six goals in his previous 4 games against RB Leipzig (all with Borussia Dortmund), an average of one goal every 60 minutes.
Leipzig have won their last four games in the competition, the longest consecutive winning streak for the German side in the competition, including Celtic (3-1) and 2-0, Real Madrid (3-2) and Shakhtar Donetsk (4-0).
However, RB Leipzig have lost their last three matches in the knockout stages without scoring a goal, including two defeats to Liverpool (2-0) in the final of the 2020-2021 season.
Manchester City have been in outstanding form recently in the Champions League and want to extend their good run to 13 games in the competition, during which they suffered one defeat, which came against Real Madrid in the semi-finals last season.
While RB Leipzig have scored in 15 of their 17 home Champions League games, Manchester City have kept five clean sheets in their last six Champions League games, including all three (away) games in the group stage this season.
