Famous journalist and editor-in-chief of Football magazine Artem Frankov has prepared a forecast for the return leg of the Champions League 1/8 finals between Manchester City and RB Leipzig.
Artem Frankov"If you say that City will win, well, what kind of expert are you, because even a hedgehog can understand that! If you bet on Leipzig at least in terms of not losing, I'm not talking about the passage - they will twist their finger at their temple, especially since I myself initially did not see any chance for the Saxon team against these Anglo-Saxons It would be much more interesting to play with the parallel match, where the bookmakers for some reason made Inter too obvious a contender for the passage.
Here, of course, I also see the hosts as not just a favorite, but a superfavorite. Moreover, they show no signs of a crisis, for the most part, confidently churning out the results they need and having no problems with the squad. At the same time, Marco Rosso's team has been thinned out by injuries (Schlager, Nkunku, Gulaci, Diallo), and can only be pleased with the 3-0 defeat of the completely gloomy Borussia Gladbach in the last round of the German championship.
Let's assume that against Leipzig, City does not face the worst danger - Pep Guardiola's experiments. And secondly, the English have a pretty tough schedule (Burnley in the Cup and Liverpool in the league are coming up), and they shouldn't jump out of their pants to beat their opponent. In general, I don't expect a repeat of 6-3.
My bet: I will allow myself a victory for City and TM 2.5 at 4.15," said Frankov.
