Manchester City Monaco betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This game has a great tendency to be balanced, since it puts in the field two teams with great technical-tactical quality. On the one hand, Manchester City is at home and should try to dominate the match from the first minutes, and Monaco should maintain the defensive organization and explore the space on the back of the opponent's defense. Having said this and taking into account the moments of form of these two formations, we admit that Manchester City can win, however, by the minimum margin.

Preview
Manchester City and Monaco meet at Etihad Stadium, in a match for this stage of the UEFA Champions League (8th Finals). These two teams have never met before, so this will be the first head‑to‑head between them. In this match the home advantage may play an important role, since Monaco presents significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Man City

The home team got access to this stage of the UEFA Champions League (8th Finals) after having finished the group stage in the 2nd position of Group C, with 9 points won. This is a team that usually maintains its competitive level in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 8 wins, 2 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 28 goals scored and 17 conceded; against 9 wins, 5 draws and 1 loss at their stadium, with 30 goals scored and 14 conceded. In their last match, for the FA Cup, they got an away tie against Huddersfield Town by (0‑0). In the last 4 UEFA Champions League home matches Manchester City has a record of 3 wins and 1 draw.

In this competition, they haven’t lost any of the last 4 home matches. Their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 7 of the last 8 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 5 of their 8 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Manchester City set out for this match with a disheartening draw against Huddersfield, 0-0, in a game to count for the fifth round of the FA Cup. In this match for the Champions League coach Pep Guardiola should play in 4-3- 3 benefiting possession of the ball and attacks by the runners, especially through the left. Argentine Sergio Agüero is Manchester City's top scorer with 11 goals. Looking at the last 10 games, it is possible to notice that the english have a great offensive quality, since they scored on average 2 goals per challenge. It seems that the coach cannot rely on Gabriel Jesus and Gundogan, both injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Willy Caballero, Bacary Sagna, Nicolás Otamendi, John Stones, Fernandinho, Yaya Touré, Kevin De Bruyne, David Silva, Leroy Sané, Sergio Agüero, Raheem Sterling.
Coach: J. Guardiola i Sala.

Analysis Monaco

The away team comes to this stage of the UEFA Champions League (8th Finals) after having finished the group stage in the 22th position of Group E, with 0 points won. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 5 wins, 7 draws and 3 losses in away matches, with 30 goals scored and 21 conceded; against 13 wins, 1 draw and 1 loss at their stadium, with 52 goals scored and 9 conceded. In their last match, for the Ligue 1, they got an away tie against Bastia by (1‑1). In the last 5 UEFA Champions League away matches Monaco has a record of 2 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 8 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In their away matches there is a tendency for goals, since 29 of the last 32 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals and 21 out of 32 have ended with Over 2,5 goals. In 10 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 4 times and have never been able to turn the score around. In the last 20 away matches for all competitions there is 1 period that stands out: they have conceded 9 of their 24 goals between minutes (76'‑90').

The Monaco club arrives in this game with a draw to a ball against Bastia, however, and despite this equality the team follows in the top positions of the French championship: Bernardo Silva was the author of the only goal of the team. In this first hand Coach Leonardo Jardim should opt for a more defensive strategy, with the back lines, betting only on the counterattack, exploiting in the best way the defensive difficulties of the opponent. Striker Falcao is the French striker with 16 goals scored. Like Manchester City, Monaco has an impressive offensive quality as it has scored 2.5 goals per game in the last 10 matches. Guido Carrillo and Boschilia are the only ones missing from this game due to injury.

Confirmed Lineup: Danijel Subašić, Djibril Sidibé, Benjamin Mendy, Kamil Glik, Andrea Raggi, Fabinho, Bernardo Silva, Tiemoué Bakayoko, Thomas Lemar, Kylian Mbappé, Radamel Falcao.
Coach: K. Schmidt.
