Manchester City

WDWWWD 📈

Manchester City, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 1-3 Premier League victory over West Ham United.

In that match, Manchester City managed 69% possession and 29 shots on goal with 15 on target. For Manchester City, the goals were scored by Jérémy Doku (46'), Bernardo Silva (76') and Erling Haaland (86'). West Ham United had 6 shots on goal with 3 of them on target. James Ward-Prowse (36') scored for West Ham United.

Their latest results shine a light on the fact that much respect should be given to the Manchester City rearguard. Manchester City have given the opposition little, seeing the number of goals that have gone in at their end during their previous six outings standing at 3.

Red Star Belgrade

WWWLWL

After being beaten in their last game against Čukarički in SuperLiga competition, Red Star Belgrade and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

The only name on the scoresheet from Red Star Belgrade was Jean-Philippe Krasso (48'). Marko Docić (24') and Sunday Adetunji (75') scored for Čukarički.

Illustrating their appetite for high-scoring matches, goals have been seen as many as 21 times in the last six games in which Red Star Belgrade have sent out their troops, yielding an average of 3.5 goals each fixture. Opposition teams have hit 6 of this grand total. While that may be of interest, we must now wait to see if that pattern shall continue on in this match or not.

🗞️ Team News: Manchester City

Kevin De Bruyne (Muscle partial avulsion), Jack Grealish (Hamstring Injury) and Zack Steffen (Knee Surgery) won’t be able to feature for Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola.

In all likelihood, The Citizens look set to use the 4-2-3-1 formation, handing starts to Ederson Moraes, Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias, Nathan Ake, Sergio Gomez, Rodri, Matheus Nunes, Bernardo Silva, Julian Alvarez, Phil Foden and Erling Haaland.

📰 Team News: Red Star Belgrade

Red Star Belgrade boss Barak Bakhar has a number of players out of action. Filippo Falco (Unknown Injury) and Aleksandar Katai (Back Injury) miss out here.

We reckon that Zvezda will likely elect for a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Omri Glazer, Srdjan Mijailovic, Nasser Djiga, Aleksandar Dragovic, Milan Rodic, In-Beom Hwang, Marko Stamenic, Osman Bukari, Mirko Ivanic, Stefan Mitrovic and Cherif Ndiaye.

⚡ Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Manchester City are likely to be able to create a high number of chances and successful shots on target.

At the same time, Red Star Belgrade could well struggle to get a goal of their own although we do think that they will probably end up converting at least once as well.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a decent 3-1 winning score for Manchester City after 90 minutes.
