THE KEY STATS

  • Crvena zvezda have won only two of their last 13 European matches (D2 L9).
  • Crvena zvezda are without a win in their last nine Champions League group stage matches (D1 L8). Since a 3-1 home victory against Olympiacos in October 2019.
  • Man City have won their last seven Champions League matches. They have never won eight successive matches in the competition before.
  • Man City are unbeaten in their last 19 UEFA club competition matches (W13 D6).
  • Man City have scored three goals in each of their last six Champions League group stage matches.

THE PREDICTION

Although they have long since secured their passage into the round of 16 as Group G winners, Man City are aiming to extend an unbeaten run in the Champions League now spanning 18 games. Although a number of key players are missing through injury and other stars may be afforded a rest by manager Pep Guardiola, the depth of the reigning European champions ensures that a very good side will still take to the field in Belgrade. Against an already eliminated Crvena Zvezda outfit who have lost four of five matches across this season’s group stage, Man City are still well-worth backing to pick up the victory.

TIP: MAN CITY TO WIN
