For the third successive period, Manchester City have attracted against Shakhtar Donetsk in their Champions League group.
The both sides possess one victory apiece in Kharkiv (the hosts’ temporary home)–Shakhtar winning the 2017 experience 2-1, until City thumped these 3-0 final season–so let’s just call this one the decider, will we?
City will need to down dust after their defensive operation at Norwich those asserting that Pep Guardiola’s side have lost their touch are bonkers. There is enough attacking firepower inside that squad to take any side in the world into the cleaners, so any assumptions they’ll continue to fight are ridiculous.
To the terror of many fans, Manchester City would soon be without Aymeric Laporte and John Stones for this particular trip to Ukraine, also while a bad defensive screen was their undoing from the Canaries, the side as a collective would be too great to last slipping-up, and that’s why I expect them to win and both teams to score; possession will still be dominated, chances will nevertheless be created.
So an off clean sheet does not look likely, particularly because City have kept just two clean sheets in their six games this season — Fernandinho and nicol??s Otamendi are Pep on Wednesday watertight.
While Skahktar have traditionally been excellent in home, draws to Lyon and Hoffenheim last time to follow with the City conquer capped-off a fairly bad Champions League effort, and I expect they will bear the entire brunt of City’s fury as Pep shows the Europe his negative imply business once more.
7/4 is a True tempter for this particular one. ??
I am also backing Shakhtar midfielder Taras Stepanenko to have revealed a card.
The 30-year-old has already been reserved in three of the seven Premier League matches this season, and for the previous two Champions League campaigns he has committed fouls-per-game’s second-highest amount at the Shakhtar side.
Stepanenko will soon be his team’s enforcer on Wednesday, also I like.
