On the upcoming Tuesday, two matches will be held within the Champions League, one of which will be an encounter between Manchester City and Monaco. The first game of the clash will be held at Etihad in Manchester, the second one will be held in Monaco. Bookmakers see the Eagles as clear favorites of the first encounter, and one can probably agree with such position, but one should not underestimate Monaco. The team is in a terrific shape and plays great away.
Last Saturday, Manchester City played their match against Huddersfield Town within the English Cup. The hosts gave the Eagles a real fight, the result of which was a 0:0 draw. Before the draw, Manchester City won four times in a row, and the defeated teams were Crystal Palace, West Ham United, Swansea City and Bournemouth.
Last Friday, Monaco had an away game against Bastia and didn’t win against the Corsicans. The result of the encounter is 1:1. Before the split of points, the Monegasques won against Nice, Montpellier and Metz within Ligue 1. Monaco are on the first position in the tournament table of the French championship, three points ahead of Nice. The future hosts have had 13 away games in the current season within Ligue 1, in which they got seven victories with four draws and two defeats.
Manchester City perform great at home, but Monaco are very strong competitors, being probably the best in away games in France, therefore, even if Man City will win the upcoming game, it will be one goal maximum. A bet on the guests in this pair is actual.
Prediction for the match: Monaco to win with +1.5 Asian handicap.
