After back-to-back draws in the Champions League against Inter Milan (0-0) and Arsenal in the Premier League (2-2), Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City will look to bounce back to winning ways when they host Watford on Tuesday evening.
In the Inter Milan contest, Man City’s attack was blunted significantly by the robust rearguard by the Serie A champions.
Against Arsenal, Manchester City’s superior 78% possession, 33 shots, and 11 shots on target could not separate them from the Gunners, who had to play a man down in the entire second half after the sending off of Leandro Trossard on the brink of halftime.
Pep Guardiola will look to rejig his attacking fluency when they welcome Watford to the Etihad Stadium in the EFL Cup.
Our expert soccer predictions show that Manchester City will look to dominate possession, dictate the tempo of the match from the middle of the pack, and pin their opponents back in their half. They will press from the front and look to make a quick start.
Watford have had an average start to their Championship campaign; they have won three times, drawn once, and lost twice. They have collected 10 points and sit 10th on the table and a point removed from the play-off places.
Last time out in the Championship, Watford were thoroughly beaten by a rampant Norwich City side, with the match ending 4-1. This match and result highlights the core challenge facing Tom Cleverly’s side. They had a fairly good amount of possession (45%) and attempted 11 shots, with just three on target to Norwich’s eight on target.
Although they have scored an impressive 10 goals in six goals, Watford have also conceded nine times, which has been their Achilles heel this season. Football predictions analysis on 22Bet show that Tom Cleverly must find a balance for his side to retain their attacking edge while minimizing the number of chances they give away to their opponents.
Specifically, when coming up against the potent Manchester City attack, they will need to rejig their approach and prioritize solidity and compactness to stand a chance of taking something from the match on Tuesday.
