Manchester City vs CSKA Moscow – Preview and betting tips

Manchester City and CSKA Moscow will face each other in the fourth fixture of Uefa Champions League group stage. These two teams were in the same group last edition too, and City are without defeat. The game is scheduled this wednesday from 19:45.

The citizens have only one option in this game, to get all three points, otherwise their chances for the second position in Group E will be considerably reduced. The english champions are without victory so far, proof that they recorded two draws and one defeat in the first three games. They were very close last roung, but they struggled in the second half against CSKA. Pellegrini won’t have Kolarov, Silva and Lampard. More than that, Mangala is in doubt and could miss the game.

CSKA Moscow will try to get at least one point at Etihad Stadium, their mission being a very difficult one. The russian champions have only one point at the moment. They played very well at home, but when it comes about away matches they didn’t impressed, losing 1-5 against AS Roma seven weeks ago. The away team will have only two missing players, Panchenko and Elm, both injured.

Two weeks ago City were leading in Russia 2-0 at half time, but CKSA Moscow managed to score two goals in the second part, winning their first point in this group. Last season City defeated CSKA both times, 2-1 away and 5-2 here.

Man City vs CSKA Moscow probable lineups:
Man City (4-4-2): Hart – Zabaleta, Kompany, Demichelis, Clichy – Milner, Fernando, Toure, Nasri – Jovetic, Aguero.
TSKA Moscova (4-2-3-1): Akinfeev – Fernandes, Ignashevitch, Berezoutski, Schennikov – Tosic, Eremenko, Dzagoev, Musa.

Prediction: 1/1 @ 1.67
We expect Manchester City to start very well, just like two weeks ago. This time they shouldn’t make the same mistakes and win the game. The odds are very good and attractive right now, so we should give a try.
