Monaco vs Manchester City Preview and Team News

Monaco Team News

Monaco are in a deep crisis. In the opening round of the Champions League, they were thrashed 4-1 by Brugge in a game where the Belgians completely dominated and barely allowed them a chance.

Domestically, the hosts sit fourth with 12 points. In the last round, they lost to Lorient 3-1 and were left with 10 men, as Thilo Kehrer was sent off in the first half.

Injuries are also a major concern for the Monegasques. They’re missing all of the key midfielders, including Denis Zakaria, Aleksandr Golovin, and Aladji Bamba. Also, Paul Pogba, Lucas Michal, Christian Mawissa, and Lukas Hradecky are out. 

Monaco predicted lineup vs Manchester City (4-4-2): Kohn; Vanderson, Dier, Kehrer, Henrique; Akliouche, Teze, Coulibaly, Minamino; Biereth, Balogun.

Manchester City Team News

Pep Guardiola’s men have recovered from their recent poor run, when they lost to Tottenham 0-2 and Brighton 1-2 before the international break in August. In September, City won four of their five matches, drawing the other 1-1 against Arsenal

The team’s attacking prowess is undeniable, as they’ve scored 14 goals in the Premier League – more than anyone else in the competition. In the Champions League, they beat Napoli 2-0 and will now look to secure a spot in the top eight.

There are several absentees in the visitors’ camp. Omar Marmoush, Rayan Ait Nouri, Rayan Cherki, and Abdukodir Khusanov are all sidelined. 

Manchester City predicted lineup vs Monaco (4-1-4-1): Donnarumma; O’Reilly, Gvardiol, Dias, Nunes; Nico; Doku, Reijnders, Foden, Silva; Haaland.

Monaco vs Manchester City Prediction, Odds

Man City have a great opportunity to end their four-game losing streak in away matches in the Champions League. Their chances will be increased, considering the hosts are facing an injury plague.

Monaco have won all of their home fixtures this season, but none of their opponents have been of City’s calibre. Adi Hütter’s men have conceded in each of them and struggled defensively.

We believe the Cityzens can take advantage of Monaco’s weaknesses. The visitors will likely dominate the encounter and grab a convincing victory. 

Monaco vs Manchester City Betting Tip

Even with the best lineup, the Monegasques have often made costly defensive mistakes. Still, they’ve managed to score at least three goals in each of their home fixtures this season.

Monaco lack the resources to contain Man City. It was clear against Brugge, where the absence of quality midfielders created gaps, allowing the opposing forwards to launch quick attacks. However, even in a positional game, the English club have an advantage. 

Manchester City are much stronger opponents, but the home team can count on at least one goal, especially with Ansu Fati in the squad. We expect a lively affair with an exchange of goals and plenty of action.
