Dortmund's press and wingbacks will test Betis's first pass before the visitors can switch play wide. A lead may bring another attacking phase for both sides, since recent games have turned again after the first goal. Manchester City can control the ball against Leipzig, but Leipzig's pressure and left-side delivery can make the first City exit uncomfortable. The second clean chance after a reply matters in both matches.
Betis can move the ball through Roca, Fornals and Isco before Ezzalzouli or Antony attack Dortmund's outer defenders. Parrott played the latest match and has already supplied a European finish without Cucho; Bartra brings another arrival from a restart. Dortmund's recent leads against Bremen and Villarreal still brought renewed opposing pressure, giving Betis room for a distinct response. I am siding with Betis to keep the match close through those open-play and restart routes.
Leipzig can press City's first pass and use Nusa and Raum to feed Rômulo, with Baumgartner confirmed to start after a shorter appearance in the last match. City's first-line errors against Villa and Brighton give that sequence a current opponent-specific opening, while PSG's press delayed City's first accurate shot. Leipzig's attack has also improved after the break in recent wins, giving it another phase to answer City's Doku and Haaland route. I am siding with RB Leipzig to stay in the contest through a separate attacking response.
