21.10.2020 Manchester City – Porto – Review
One of the richest clubs in the world Manchester City failed again to win the Champions
League, but now Pep Guardiola’s team will make another effort. On Wednesday the
Cityzens begin their 2020/21 campaign with a home game against Portuguese giants
Porto. Here are our free soccer betting tips for this clash at the Etihad.
Dissapointment – that’s how we can describe Manchester City’s performance in the
Champions League last season. The English side eliminated Real Madrid and reached the
final 8 of the tournament, but they shockingly got eliminated by French side Olympique
Lyonnais. This was another proof that there are no unbeatable teams in this competition.
Manchester City made some small changes to their line-up during the summer. They
reinforced their defense with Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake while Ferran Torres was signed
to boost the offensive line. We need to wait and see if these transfers will prove effective
for the Cityzens. So far during the season Manchester City are not really the most
consistent team in the world, but during the weekend they proved their quality and
recorded a 1-0 win over Arsenal.
Porto are once again the champions of Portugal and now they return to the Champions
League with a lot of hunger for a successful performance. The Dragons have won this
competition twice, so they have enough confidence to rival the best teams on the
continent.
In the Portuguese Primeira Liga Porto didn’t start the new season in the best way possible
as they won just 7 points in the first four rounds. During the weekend the Dragons faced
Sporting CP in Lisboa, but the match ended without a winner – 2-2.
These are our free soccer betting tips for the Champions League showdown between
Manchester City and Porto at the Etihad. Is this going to be a bright start in the competition
for Man City? Or maybe we are going to witness a surprise?
