Manchester City vs Sparta Prediction: We expect Pep Guardiola's side to give the visitors a fight

Prediction for the UEFA Champions League Manchester City vs Sparta match which will take place on October 23rd. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Manchester City's first Champions League opponent was Inter Milan. It was a tense encounter, with both teams failing to score and sharing the points. In the second round, the Citizens traveled to Bratislava to visit Slovan and made a good impression. The English champions gave their opponents no chance, scoring four unanswered goals. The four points leave City eighth in the Champions League standings. Last week, Guardiola's side picked up an impressive 2:1 win away to Wolverhamptonomo in the APL.

In the first round of the Champions League Common Stage, Sparta hosted Salzburg at home. In this match, the Prague club's players understood the game well and sent three unanswered goals into their opponents' goal. In the second match, the team played away to the German side, Stuttgart, which ended 1:1. With four points, Sparta was tenth in the LC standings. Last weekend, the club returned to winning ways in the Czech Championship with a 2:1 win over Liberec.

Sparta has been performing better in the Champions League than in the local Czech league. However, repeating the success of the first two rounds away to Man City will be a tall order. We expect Pep Guardiola's side to give the visitors a fight, take all three points, and improve their position in the Champions League standings.
