Manchester City and AS Monaco play Tuesday night for the first time against each other in the Champions League. The Monegasques like to play against English teams, as evidenced by their recent results. They can also stunt at City?
Manchester City
In the already crowded program of Manchester City is still crammed an extra game, as The Citizens last weekend did not win at the somewhat puny Huddersfield Town. The formation million Pep Guardiola did not score against the current number three in the Championship, but Guardiola was nevertheless not dissatisfied. His team played like he wanted to like it, and if there is then a replay comes out, then so be it.
That is of course remarkable, because a replay is the last thing you want in a program like this. However, Manchester City have the “luck” that the match against Manchester United, which was originally for Sunday on the program, does not go through because United will play the final of the League Cup. The next match will be played so until next Tuesday, and that is – indeed – the replay against Huddersfield Town.
Guardiola does at Monaco so do not take into account players to trot a little later in another tough contest. He did reasonably well last weekend, for a number of regular players were rested. Players like Kevin de Bruyne and LEROY SANÉ fell later and Raheem Sterling got the entire game rests. Why were some important basic players like Aguero, Fernandinho and Otamendi the full ninety minutes of action.
Probable formation Manchester City
Caballero, Zabaleta, Otamendi, Stones, Kolarov, Fernandinho, Touré, Sterling, De Bruyne, Silva, Aguero
Monaco
The statement that AS Monaco is one of the best teams in Europe, was made by the manager of Manchester City, Pep Guardiola. There’s probably some truth in because Monaco has made more goals than any other team in one of the top five leagues in Europe. In Ligue 1 AS Monaco has been 76 goals scored in 76 matches, an average of nearly three goals per game.
That average AS Monaco last weekend did not help. Visiting SC Bastia was a draw with 1-1, which Monaco could not benefit from the earlier point loss to Paris Saint-Germain. The Monegasques are still in first place, but could increase the gap to PSG by five points. Instead, there are therefore three points between, but Monaco has – of course – have a much better goal difference.
Despite the confidence of AS Monaco will still be great. The team additionally enjoys playing against English teams. Earlier this season, Monaco won once on English soil. Tottenham Hotspur was in the group phase, namely with 1-2 records in Wembley. In addition, Monaco lost only two of his last nine away games against English teams in all competitions. Of those nine games, five were won. Manchester City is forewarned.
Probable lineup Monaco
Subasic, Sidibe, Glik, Raggi, Mendy, Silva, Bakayoko, Fabinho, Lemar, Germain, Falcao
