Manchester City is most likely to win the Premier League, which means that part of Pep’s goal this year is being finalized. However, the aim is still set for the Champions League, and Pep is struggling to break Spain’s dominance over the last few years in the Champions League.
Manchester City is one of the great favorites to win the entire tournament. Together with PSG, Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Real Madrid they belong – in advance – the biggest favorites. However, we are somewhat skeptical of whether Manchester City’s defense is capable of finishing the playoffs. This is where the big question mark is placed, and in our opinion, does not belong to Otamendi / Stones and Kompany / Laporte, the strongest. Obviously, the offensive in the City building weighs heavily, but it will undoubtedly be interesting to witness whether or not to resolve that question.
The draw clearly made way for Peps men, and Swiss Basel will probably be defeated fairly comfortably – seen over two matches. And then we can see the correct trial at a later stage of the City’s contest.
Basel stood for a strong group play when they ended up just behind Manchester United in Group A. They also defeated Manchester United with 1-0 on St. Jakob Park, and to be noted for a victory in this double meeting, this is the one to defeat Manchester City. However, it is going to be difficult, but that you are opposed – is not an impossible scenario.
FC Basel has been superior in Switzerland for many years, and has also won the series for eight consecutive years. However, you place four points behind Young Boys in the league game today, and there is thus room for a new league winner this season.
However, in the Champions League game, it has looked far better, and we were undoubtedly impressed by Basel in the fall. They scored in all matches, except for one on Old Trafford against Man United. That is why we are aware that FC Basel can also sprinkle a balja against Manchester City on Tuesday. As we used to be, Manchester City’s backline does not look quite stable, and just there, Basel should be able to threaten.
Manchester City has nevertheless released at least one goal in five of his last six games in the league game. You have done the same thing in the Champions League – in three of their four last matches. Therefore, we call the target market in this meeting.
PREDICTION: City win @ 1.33
