SK Slovan Bratislava vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting Tips - Champions League
by Kennedy Kechula | in Champions League Predictions
Manchester City will do with a break from English football after a tough run of matches. This Tuesday, they will shift attention to the Champions League, where Slovakian side Slovan Bratislava awaits them. The Sky-Blues will host the Cityzens in this match and here is the preview and our prediction below.
This match will be staged at the Stadion Tehelne Pole in Bratislava starting 19.00h GMT. Slovan Bratislava are playing their first season at the league/group phase in this competition. Going by their Match Day 1 performance, they are obviously having it tough, and there’s no promise it’s going to get easier.
Manchester City have been termed one of the best, if not the best in the world at the moment. Two seasons ago they lived up to this billing, and went on to win their first Champions League title at the second time in the final. It is still early days but Pep Guardiola will hope for stability now and the future.

SK Slovan Bratislava - Manchester City: Form Analysis
Slovan Bratislava have enjoyed some calm times in the recent matches after their league phase debut. The storm is coming soon, as former European champions Manchester City visit.
This one is definitely going to be a sterner test than their Match Day 1 encounter with Celtic. Slovan Bratislava suffered a humiliating 5-1 thrashing by the Scottish giants.
It wasn’t the best introduction to the league phase of the competition but at least they know what to expect now. Three straight wins before this game were good to calm nerves but Slovan Bratislava kept no clean sheet in five.
Slovan didn't really enjoy their league phase debut, losing to Celtic 5-1!
Manchester City will want to drop no more points, having already conceded two for Match Day 1. The Premier League champions were frustrated in a 0-0 draw with Inter Milan at their own backyard.
That was just one of their recent frustrating outings. City, a team that started the season with four straight wins, has now managed just one win in the last four matches.
In their most recent outing, City were pinned to a 1-1 draw at Newcastle United. It was another of the hard-fought encounters City have come to experience lately and they will expect something similar.

SK Slovan Bratislava & Manchester City Squad Analysis
Slovan Bratislava must have taken a cue from recent Manchester City games; opponents have been setting up defensively. We expect the same here, which means Kevin Wimmer and Jurij Medvedev will be manning the backline.
There’s, however, expected to be no slot in the team for Kenan Bajric who is listed as doubtful. Meanwhile, Lukas Pauschek is a confirmed absentee as he recovers from injury.
The biggest injury news in this game belong to City. They have Rodri and De Bruyne out!
At Manchester City, they will miss a number of key men, especially in midfield. Earlier it was confirmed that Spanish midfielder Rodri would be out for the remainder of the season as he nurses a knee injury. In the City treatment room he has Kevin De Bruyne for company.
The Belgian hasn’t featured since limping off at half time against Inter Milan. Injured Oscar Bobb and Nathan Ake are the other players set to miss out

Both teams can’t term their defences as the strongest departments; they rarely keep clean sheets. Therefore, our prediction for Slovan Bratislava v Manchester City is for Manchester City to win and both teams to score.
