Man City Form

Manchester City are undefeated in all 12 matches this season. They drew 0-0 against Inter Milan in the Champions League before a 4-0 win at Slovan Bratislava where they had 14-0 shots on target.

Pep Guardiola’s side returned to the Premier League with a 3-2 win against Fulham. They had 1.37-2.76 expected goals, Mateo Kovacic scoring two goals at the Etihad.

Man City are coming off a 2-1 win at Wolves where they fell behind once again. Josko Gvardiol equalised before John Stones scored in added time, ending the game with 78% possession and 22-3 shots.

Man City Injuries & Team News

Midfielders Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne are injured alongside young forward Oscar Bobb.

Kyle Walker remains on the injured list with Rico Lewis to continue at right-back.

Sparta Prague Form

Sparta Prague had a fantastic start to the season, winning 13 of their opening 15 matches. They got past Shamrock Rovers, FCSB and Malmo in the Champions League qualifiers.

Lars Friis’ side beat Salzburg 3-0 in their opening league phase game, doing it with 29% possession and 6-1 shots on target. They then drew 1-1 at Stuttgart where they had just 24% possession.

The victory in Germany came between two defeats in the Czech Liga. Sparta bounced back by beating Slovan Liberec 2-1, the victory leaving them six points behind Slavia Prague at the top of the table.

Centre-back Elias Cobbaut is injured alongside left-back Imanol García de Albeniz.

Veljko Birmancevic, Victor Olatunji and Lukas Haraslin have all scored six goals this season.

Verdict

Man City v Sparta Prague

Man City have seen BTTS in five of their last six matches and Sparta Prague have nothing to lose here. I am backing Pep Guardiola’s side to outclass the Czech side in the Champions League.
