The British derby in terms of Champions League group stage will be played on the upcoming Tuesday in Manchester, where City will host Celtic on their Etihad. The game will not bear any tournament significance, as whatever the outcome of the forthcoming match will be, Manchester City will remain on the second place of the table in Group C, and Celtic will be fourth, however, some principal subtext of the game is present, as two British squads meet, one of which represent England, and the other one is from Scotland.
Besides, Manchester City will play after defeat from Chelsea, the match, where Eagles did not use a great deal of favorable moments, and finally lost bitterly, although they had been leading 1:0 within the course of the game. This situation forces Mancunians to show their maximum and win in the game against Celtic, desirably with confidence.
If at home Celtic can show some resistance, Celts have constant problems away. Barcelona encounter, lost 0:7, proves that. Everything’s ok for the team from Glasgow in the domestic championship even in away matches, however, only due to a low level of opponents in the tournament.
Manchester City will try to show its maximum in front of their own audience, and Celtic will probably help Eagles with that, as it is hard to compare the levels of the opponents, with significant superiority of Manchester City. Apart from that, Manchester City footballers would like to get a satisfaction after the defeat from Chelsea.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -1.5 Asian handicap.
