Liverpool vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting tips
Before the season starts again in the highest English league, the English Super Cup 2019 is approaching. In the history of the Community Shield, it is already the seventh edition, in which due to a double win (Cup and League) of a team, the runner-up from the Premier League at the Community Shield must compete. Thus, after dominant domestic performance at the national level, Manchester City meets reigning Champions League winner and runner-up Liverpool. For Guardiola it would be the seventh title win with the Skyblues and the second Super Cup success in a row.
In contrast to the Skyblues from Manchester Liverpool completed significantly more warm-up games in the summer preparation. The team of Jürgen Klopp presented anything but sovereign and remained four times in succession without victory, until the dress rehearsal against Lyon recently 3: 1 succeeded. Reason enough for the English media to pry at press conferences against the Liverpool coach. When the importance of the Community Shield was viewed by a journalist as a kind of advanced preparation, Jürgen Klopp literally burst his neck.
Due to the Africa Cup and the Copa America, Klopp and Guardiola did not have all the top performers in the summer preparation. Manchester City showed much better performances in the absence of many top performers, which is why the listing on a city victory but very lucrative. On Sunday afternoon, the Community Shield will rise at 15:00 pm at Wembley Stadium!
Liverpool:
The Reds did not look good in the preparation, but had to do without the regular staff for long stretches. However, the dress rehearsal before the English Super Cup succeeded the team of Jürgen Klopp. The reigning Champions League winner beat Olympique Lyon 3-1. Reds coach Klopp changed the entire team and spared his achievers for the upcoming duel against Manchester City. Although Liverpool star Mo Salah completed a halftime break with Lyon, it remains to be seen how far the Egyptian will be in the match against the Skyblues.
Due to the short preparation time with the team, it remains to be seen anyway, which start-up decisions Klopp will make in the match against Manchester City, especially since many top performers have joined recently. When considering how the Reds presented themselves without the regular staff in preparation, it would not be surprising if Klopp still sends the best squad on the pitch. After the missed championship in the Premier League – only one point separated Liverpool from the Skyblues – the Reds will have yet to settle an open account with Manchester City.
Last season, it is also in the new season to tie. After four years Liverpool the Champions League success was the first title win for Jürgen Klopp as coach of the Reds. This season, Klopp now wants to pull out the Premier League Coup and win the championship for the first time since 1990. In the Community Shield talks due to the weak preparation of Liverpool against Manchester City not much for a forecast on the Klopp team. In none of the last six friendly matches has Liverpool kept the white vest.
Manchester City:
Is the next successful season for Manchester City under Pep Guardiola? Last year, Pep Guardiola cleared all sorts of titles in England but failed to achieve the desired international success. Manchester City was eliminated in the premier class against Tottenham surprisingly. Really foreseeable was the defeat against the Premier League rivals not. With 32 wins in 38 Premier League games put the Citizens namely a bear-strong season. In addition to the Ligacup success, there was also in the FA Cup final against Watford an unchallenged title win.
Manchester City will match Liverpool, last season’s runner-up, in the Community Shield. In preparation, the Guardiola-Eleven completed only four friendly matches and had to renounce as far as possible on top performers. Despite lack of regular staff City delivered but outstanding performance in the test matches, so it remains to be seen which startup Guardiola sends in the English Super Cup. Last season, Manchester City scored the strongest offensive in the domestic league with 95 goals in 38 Premier League games.
In the previous transfer window, the Citizens have shown rather restrained. Only Rodri of Atletico Madrid has switched to the Skyblues for nearly 70 million euros. Although Zack Steffen and Angelino strengthen the team in the Kaderbreite, but are expected to play rather a minor role. With Luiz, Delph, Garcia and Mari, there have been no significant departures so far.
The resignation of Vincent Kompany hurts, but will be compensated in the current squad. In addition, the transfer carousel around Leroy Sane does not seem to have ended yet. The offensive player is courted by Bayern Munich, but still no change was confirmed. Probably only a matter of time, until finally all details about the change are clarified.
