Final Betting Analysis: RB Leipzig at Manchester City
RB Leipzig has been playing well enough to push Man City in this. But the Sky Blues are on a mission.
Earlier this season, City appeared to be struggling. The Sky Blues were never in danger of pulling a Liverpool, falling apart in the Premier League, but they did look bad in a few contests.
However, as of March 13, City is 5 points behind Arsenal for first place in the Premier. Not only that, but the Sky Blues rolled Arsenal in the last head-to-head, beating their rivals 3-1.
Manchester City is on a mission. The team has righted the ship. Give Pep Guardiola’s squad a huge chance to cover the handicap.
