Slovan

Slovan lost 5:1 away to Celtic in the first leg of their 2024/25 Champions League tie. In the 60th minute, Wimmer scored the game's only goal from Tolich's pass. Slovakia began its international campaign on 10 July and was in the round of 16 Champions League qualifying. The future hosts knocked out the following clubs in the qualifying round: Struga, Celje, APOEL, and Midtjylland. The Celtic defeat was Slovan's second of the season despite the club having already played 19 official matches. 

Manchester City

Manchester City already have one title to their name, having beaten Manchester United on penalties in the English Super Cup. The Mancunians kicked off their Champions League campaign with a 0:0 draw at home to Inter Milan, although statistically, City had 23 shots on goal and five shots on target, scoring 2.24 goals per xG index. City's only other APL game was a 1:1 draw away at Newcastle. City is second in the standings with 14 points after six games, one point behind Liverpool.

Expert Betting Tips

If Celtic scored five goals against Slovan, why can't Manchester City do the same? Especially after the draw with Inter, City need three points, and it wouldn't hurt to improve their goal difference, given the record of some teams like Bayern. There is a vast difference in class between their future rivals, and the Brits will be looking to take full advantage of that. We doubt that the Slovaks will even be able to score a goal despite the factor of their pitch.
