Manchester City vs FC Porto Prediction & Betting tips
New rounds new opportunities. Pep Guardiola wants to score high in the Champions League again this season. FC Porto is the first hurdle.
Manchester City:
Manchester City had to leave the title to Liverpool last season and an unexpected and disappointing elimination by Olympique Lyon followed in the Champions League. As a result, it is Manchester City led by Pep Guardiola to make a shot at the cup with the big ears.
The season without awards was not followed by a major renovation of the selection. David Silva, Leroy Sané and Nicolas Otamendi left the Etihad Stadium and in their place the scholarship was taken for Nathan Aké, Ruben Dias and Ferran Torres, among others. All three will be in the base, partly because Kevin de Bruyne, Gabriel Jesus, Aymeric Laporte, Benjamin Mendy and Oleksandr Zinchenko are missing.
In any case, The Citizens had a strong dress rehearsal for the encounter with Porto. At home, Arsenal was beaten 1-0 by a goal from Raheem Sterling.
FC Porto:
FC Porto seized the double in Portugal last season. For the first time since the 2017/2018 season, Os Dragões (the Dragons) were once again the best in Portugal and then managed to beat cup winner and runner-up Benfica. For the time being, things are going a bit more difficult for Sergio Conceicão’s team this season, as they already lost two points. At home they lost to Maritimo Funchal and last weekend the points were shared with Sporting Lisbon.
Porto has lost a lot of quality in the last transfer period. With Danilo Pereira, Alex Telles and Zé Luis, three of the best players left, while proven goalscorers such as Tiquinho Soares and Vincent Aboubakar are no longer active in Portugal. Santa Clara’s left back Zaido Sanusi is the only newcomer to start last weekend. Felipe Anderson is also a potential base customer.
