Manchester City Preview – Can City inflict further damage?
A resounding 5-0 win in Lisbon in the 1st leg of this round of last 16 in the Champions League has virtually sealed Manchester City’s ticket into the quarter-finals of this prestigious competition but having also won their last three matches on the trot, City will be keen to keep this winning run going.
Manchester City lost 3-2 at home to Tottenham immediately after their comprehensive win against Sporting in the Premier League but Pep Guardiola’s side have since redeemed themselves with victories over Everton and rivals Manchester United in the domestic top flight along with a FA Cup win against Peterborough United.
City have also won nine of their last 10 home ties in the Champions League.
Sporting Preview – Can Sporting put up fight?
Sporting face an almost impossible task of reaching the quarter-finals of this season’s Champions League unless they can pull a proverbial rabbit out of the hat at the Etihad Stadium as the visitors need to score six unanswered goals to progress.
Having won just two of their last six matches overall in all competitions (both of which were at home), Sporting face a daunting task in Manchester on Wednesday night, not least as they’ve lost four of their last five away ties at Champions League level.
