Slovan Bratislava vs Man City Preview
Slovan Bratislava
There will be few teams at bigger odds to be a winning selection than the hosts when making a Slovan Bratislava vs Man City prediction this week. It was a disappointing start to their European campaign for the hosts, and they continue their hunt for a first-ever win in the Champions League proper on Tuesday.
Bratislava suffered their biggest defeat in European Cup history, losing 1-5 to Celtic on matchday one. However, they did threaten in the opening period of the second half after pulling a goal back. Defensive errors were ultimately costly, and their open nature would be a major concern ahead of the visit of one of the most dominant forward lines in Europe.
Manchester City
Pep Guardiola’s City are chasing European history, as they could equal Man United’s record for most matches without a defeat. On the road, City have avoided defeat in their last eleven, which includes victories in four of their last five.
City’s xG from open play in the Premier League indicates the hosts may endure struggles. The English champions have an xG of 9.35 and an xG of 2.69 from set pieces.
However, defensively, there is room for improvement, as evidenced by an expected goals against (xGA) of 4.25, suggesting that they have been somewhat vulnerable at the back.
As City chase historic records and titles, balancing their attacking intent with defensive solidity will be crucial.

- Pick: Man City (-3)
- Odds: 1.79 (22Bet)
- Score prediction: Slovan Bratislava 0-5 Man City
Bratislava’s open approach to the game at Celtic Park ensures that they are massive outsiders this week. City will endure more testing clashes against better sides in the absence of Rodri, but they look extremely good value to cover the handicap when making a Slovan Bratislava vs Man City prediction this week.
Slovan Bratislava vs Man City Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Erling Braut Haaland Total Over (1.5)
- Odds: 2.55 (22Bet)
Erling Haaland has already scored ten in six league matches this term, and he boasts a productive xG of 5.76 from open play. Against such a weak defence, the Norwegian could be a standout selection to score at least two times in Slovakia on Tuesday.
