Champions League: Ida
Basel surprised by qualifying in this group because we thought Benfica would do so for other seasons … however the Swiss showed strength playing at home winning Manchester Ut and Benfica without receiving a goal, but lost to CSKA Moscow 1-2.
Manchester City is a favorite in betting to win the tournament, because of the way it plays, its so strong that it is breaking several records in the Premier League … in the group stage it only lost its last game by sending a very alternate team and still gave fight falling 2-1 vs Shakhtar.
It is rare for the citizen to get more goals for visitors, because they battle more in Etihad Stadium as the rivals go out to defend themselves … instead of the visitor the rival has to look for the win giving spaces and more court to demonstrate his offensive power.
My bet will be over, Basel will have to come out to propose and Manchester is very difficult to go without scoring goals … besides Guardiola will want to finish the tie or take a good lead.
Prediction Today: Over 2.5 goals
Odds: 1.57 in Paddy Power
