JAKARTA - Manchester City will play the second matchday of the 2023/2024 Champions League Group G phase with a trip to RB Leipzig headquarters at Red Bull Stadium. The match will be held Thursday, October 5 in the morning WIB.

City as the visitors are favored to win point three over the home team. This situation could not be separated from City's record with Leipzig in the previous four meetings in the 2021 and 2023 Champions Leagues.

The Citizens won twice and only lost once against RB Leipzig. One more game ended in a draw,

Last season, the two teams also met in the round of 16. Again, The Citizens were in the top position because at that time Leipzig was eliminated by a landslide.

Even though they host the favored guests, Leipzig is also not discouraged. Because the host is also in a good trend.

Leipzig bagged the win during the first matchday of the Group G phase. While visiting Young Boys headquarters, Leipzig won 3-1 from the hosts.

In another competition, Leipzig also recorded good results because from the last five matches they managed to win four times and the rest drew.

For Leipzig, hosting the favored City is also not a scary thing. Because lately The Citizen is not in a too good situation.

Pep Guardiola's team lost their last two Premier League games, namely 0-1 to Newcastle and 1-2 to Wolverhampton. The decline in the current performance of the reigning champion could be a gap for Leipzig to set victory
