Anytime Goalscorer Tip
Erling Haaland has scored a remarkable amount of goals since signing for Manchester City in the summer. Haaland is on track to break goal scoring records in the Premier League, and I’m backing him to continue his fine goal scoring form in this fixture. City will have a large amount of possession as they travel to Leipzig, and Haaland will have a number of chances to continue his form. He bagged a goal against Arsenal last week in City’s 1-3 victory over the Gunners, which was his first since his hattrick against Wolves on 22 January. In the Champions League, he has scored five goals in the four games he has played, and I think he will add to his tally in this one.
Shots on Target Tip
- Christopher Nkunku over 0.5 shots on target
Christopher Nkunku is Leipzig’s main danger man, and I think he will cause City some problems in this fixture. He has scored 12 goals in the Bundesliga this season in the 14 starts and two substitute appearances he has made this season, and I think he will have a number of chances in this fixture. I’m unsure if he will get himself in the scoresheet, but I do think he will have chances and I think he’s a shoe-in to have a shot on target at least. He averages 1.32 shots on target in the Bundesliga, and 1.35 shots on target on average in the Champions League, where he has three goals in his six appearances. I think this is a good selection and think there’s a good chance of it landing.
Tackles Betting Tip
- Kyle Walker over 1.5 tackles
Some might think that this is the most unrealistic selection on this bet builder tip today. However, going on average tackles this season, this selection comes in more often than not. In his 13 starts and one substitute appearance he has made in the league this season, he has averaged 1.58 attempted tackles per game. In the Champions League, he averages 2.38 attempted tackles per game, with an average of 2.07 successful tackles. I think he will have to make a few tackles in this one against a good Leipzig side away from home, and I think this selection has a good chance and really boosts the odds on this bet.
