Manchester City have become an unbeatable force in the Premier League. The Cityzens are now 10-time winners of the competition, having won the title four times in a row. No team has ever managed to accomplish that before.
However, they could have performed better in other tournaments last year. They lost to Man United in the FA Cup final, and in the Champions League, they were eliminated in the quarterfinals, losing on penalties against Real Madrid.
City have not signed high-profile players during the summer transfer window yet. The only notable addition is Savio from Girona. During the pre-season friendlies, Pep Guardiola’s side already played a match against Celtic, losing 3-4.
In recent years, AC Milan have notably improved. When Stefano Pioli was appointed as a head coach, he was initially considered a temporary manager but ended up staying for four seasons. He managed to lead the team to the Champions League each year and helped them become Serie A champions in 2022.
However, it was decided to part ways with Pioli, and Paulo Fonseca became the new manager. The squad renewal, which started a year earlier, also continued. Charles de Ketelaere was sold to Atalanta, and veteran forward Olivier Giroud left for Los Angeles.
Milan have not been very active during the summer transfer window. Their main signing has been the recent European champion Álvaro Morata.
Bet hereManchester City approaches the upcoming match with a two-game losing streak. One of these defeats happened in the final match of last season, and the other in the first pre-season meeting.
Against Celtic, the defense was fragile, and they conceded due to many simple errors. However, the offence looked great, with Erling Haaland creating numerous opportunities.
They will definitely be motivated to halt the losing streak. The Cityzens typically perform well against Milan. In their four previous H2H matches, City won three times and drawn once. Now, the nominal hosts seem to be the undisputed favorites. We suggest placing a bet on Man City to win.
Manchester City were the most prolific team during the previous Premier League campaign. In 38 matches, Guardiola’s men scored 96 goals, averaging 2.53 per game – an extremely high figure for such a competitive league.
During the pre-season, City have already played one friendly match, which they lost to Celtic in a massive goal-fest. Historically, the rivalry between City and Milan is rich in goals, since in the four previous face-to-face matches they have scored 21 goals against each other (an average of 5.25 per game).
Based on this, the optimal Manchester City vs AC Milan prediction seems to be a total of more than 3.5 goals. Considering that City will score more than two goals in the following match is feasible.
