Manchester City Team News

Manchester City had a dream season last year, winning the Premier League, FA Cup, and, most importantly, the UEFA Champions League trophy. Pep Guardiola’s team’s ambitions are well-known: to defend all these titles, and it’s clear that they have already shown their determination to achieve that goal after the first five rounds of the domestic championship.

In addition, Manchester has already claimed its first trophy this season by defeating Sevilla in the UEFA Super Cup final, after a penalty shootout. Even though they lost their primary playmaker, Kevin De Bruyne, due to injury, which will keep him sidelined for several months, it doesn’t significantly impact the team’s performance.

City tops the Premier League table with five wins in five matches and a goal difference 14:3, making them the best defense and the second-most prolific scoring team in the league. The “Citizens” started the season with a 3:0 win over Burnley away, followed by a 1:0 victory against Newcastle in a derby of the round. Afterward, Manchester City secured three more wins against Sheffield United, Fulham, and in the previous game against West Ham, demonstrating that they are in excellent form ahead of the start of the Champions League.

Crvena zvezda Team News

The good results of Crvena zvezda and Partizan in Europe over the past five years have contributed to the Serbian champions having a direct representative in the UEFA Champions League group stage this season. Despite Zvezda being placed in the third seeding pot, they have drawn a tough group, mainly due to today’s opponent, Manchester City. Zvezda’s group also includes Red Bull Leipzig and Young Boys. In these duels, the Red-Whites will seek their chance to progress to the next round or, more realistically, aim for third place, which leads to the Round of 16 in the UEFA Europa League.

Although Crvena zvezda began the season superbly and appeared poised to establish a significant lead in the domestic league early on, their results and performance in the last three matches have fallen well below the expectations of their supporters. Zvezda suffered two defeats during this period, losing 3:2 to Vozdovac and 2:1 to Cukaricki, with an unconvincing victory over Novi Pazar. Even more concerning than the losses is that the team’s performance in these matches was subpar, and Zvezda did not resemble the team they appeared to be during their preseason preparations.

It remains to be seen on Tuesday whether the reason for this dip in form for the Red-Whites is that their focus was on the match against Manchester City or if it’s a deeper crisis in form. Nonetheless, there is no doubt that Crvena zvezda will face the most challenging test in the first round of the UEFA Champions League.

Manchester City vs Crvena zvezda Prediction

Anything other than a convincing victory for Manchester City in this match would be a huge surprise. The hosts will want to establish themselves as the clear favorites for winning the UEFA Champions League right from the start, and they couldn’t have asked for a better opponent to face. Their rivals, Crvena zvezda, are the group’s underdogs and have been further shaken by recent setbacks in the domestic league. We recommend a home win for Manchester City with a halftime lead and three or more goals. It wouldn’t be surprising to see a high-scoring match, so for more daring bettors, consider a recommendation for a goal-fest.

Prediction: Manchester City – Manchester City & Over 2.5 goals total
