[Champions League] They will fancy their chances of making the net ripple against a leaky Man City defence that has struggled to deal with counter-attacks in recent weeks.

Man City
Sparta Praha
Match Stats

The "Citizens" have experienced a few setbacks this season. A 2:2 draw with Arsenal was expected, given the form of both top teams. However, unexpected results came from a 1:1 draw with Newcastle and a goalless draw with Inter Milan in the Champions League. Nevertheless, Manchester City has been showing more confidence in recent matches.


In the Champions League, Pep Guardiola's side convincingly defeated Slovan Bratislava 4:0 and managed a tough 3:2 victory against Fulham in the Premier League. Heading into this match, City comes off a hard-fought 2:1 away win over Wolverhampton. Currently, they sit in second place in the Premier League, trailing Liverpool by just one point.


After an impressive start to the season, with an unbeaten run of eight matches (seven wins and one draw), the "Iron Sparta" has suffered a series of setbacks. First, they lost 3:2 at home to Sigma Olomouc. In the next round, they lost a crucial away match against city rivals Slavia Prague (1:2).


Sparta now holds second place in the Czech First League, six points behind Slavia. In the Champions League, Sparta began with a confident 3:0 home win over Austrian side Salzburg, marking their bright return to the competition after a 19-year absence. In their second group match, they earned a 1:1 draw against Stuttgart away from home.

Prediction: 3-0
