Manchester City Prediction – Can Man City keep rolling?
Tuesday night’s hosts, Manchester City, racked up a fourth straight win on the trot in all competitions over the weekend when they disposed of Everton 3-1 away at Goodison Park as Pep Guardiola’s side prepare for this upcoming clash in the Champions League against Croatian outfit, Dinamo Zagreb.
Previous wins against Shakhtar Donetsk 3-0 away from home on Matchday 1 of this competition along with an 8-0 thrashing of Watford in the Premier League and a 3-0 win away from home at Preston North End in the League Cup have started the ball rolling for Manchester City, and they look in ominous form right now.
Overall results in the Champions League have also been impressive as City have won 8 of their last 10 matches, while at their Etihad Stadium they’ve won their last 4 matches on then trot with victories over Shakhtar Donetsk, Hoffenheim, Schalke and Tottenham.
The goals have continued to flow for the hosts despite the big step up in quality of competition, while City’s defence appear good enough to keep a clean sheet in this clash too.
