Manchester City
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City will have their sights set on Champions League history this week. City could set a new European record of 26 matches if they avoid a home defeat against Sparta Prague.

Meanwhile, City have been dominant at home, winning 28 of their last 32, meaning that they currently have the fourth-longest unbeaten sequence in home matches in European history.
City started their Champions League campaign with a goalless draw against Inter, followed by a comfortable 4-0 victory against Slovan Bratislava, and are expected to secure the three points in the upcoming clash.
Sparta Prague
Sparta Prague will be massive outsiders in the betting on Wednesday, and as expected, it is hard to make a case for the visitors. The Czech team has picked up four points from their opening two matches, and positives could be taken from their draw at Stuttgart on matchday two.
However, this is a considerable step up in terms of opponent quality. It is hard to ignore how open they were defensively in that clash in Germany, a tactic that could prove costly against City’s exceptional forward line.
Sparta allowed Stuttgart to register 26 shots, and if the hosts hadn’t been so wasteful with their chances, they would have endured a humbling night in Europe. They aren’t likely to get away with it against City on Wednesday.

Manchester City vs Sparta Prague Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Phil Foden To Score
- Odds: (22Bet)
Phil Foden has found starts hard to come by for City this season, but he will likely be handed a one on Wednesday.
The Englishman has been forced to play second fiddle to Jeremy Doku in the early months of the season, but has been excellent in the Champions League after registering two goal involvements in as many appearances. With Erling Haaland priced up very short, it could be worth taking a chance on Foden to score at a bigger price.
