Manchester City vs Barcelona Prediction & Betting Tips - Clubs Friendlies
by Devesh Jaganath in Football Predictions
European heavyweights Barcelona and Manchester City will face off in a pre-season friendly at the Camping World Stadium in Florida on Wednesday. Blaugrana are playing their first match of the summer while the Citizens have already played twice this month. Here's our prediction of this clash of the titans.
Barcelona will head into the 2024-25 league season hoping for a better showing than last time out when they finished 10 points behind arch-rivals Real Madrid.
Over the course of last season, Blaugrana posted a record of 26 wins, seven draws and five losses while ending the term with five consecutive victories on the bounce.
The Spanish outfit scored a total of 11 goals in their final five league games and found the net two or more times in each of their last seven games in all competitions. They only conceded one goal in the last 360 minutes of game time.
These two sides last faced each other two years ago in a friendly which ended 3-3.
Meanwhile, Manchester City’s preseason tour has certainly not been short of goals, with their first match against Celtic ending 4-3 while Sunday’s encounter with AC Milan finished 3-2. Unfortunately, they were on the losing end of the scoreline in both matches.
The Citizens have now scored two or more goals in each of their last nine matches in all competitions and only failed to do so twice in their last 15 games.
