Barcelona – Man City

Barcelona will host their former coach, Pep Guardiola, who now leads the Qatari funded Premier League powerhouse which is Manchester City.

I think City looked very good under Guardiola for the most part of the season. Like usual, when his teams play good, he starts tinkering, doing all sorts of changes, using players out of their favorite positions, and so on. So the latest results were not good, including 2 draws vs Celtic and Everton, and a categorical loss 3-0 against Spurs, away from home. But i think Guardiola knows Barca better than anyone else, maybe even better than the current Barcelona coach, Luis Enrique.

Here are the probable lineups and injuries / suspensions:

Barcelona: Ter Stegen; Sergi Roberto, Piqué, Mascherano, Alba; Rakitic, Busquets, Iniesta; Messi, Suárez, Neymar.
Out: Cillessen (ankle)

Manchester City: Bravo; Zabaleta, Stones, Otamendi, Clichy; Fernandinho, Gündogan; Sterling, Silva, De Bruyne; Agüero.
Out: Sagna (hamstring), Delph (muscle)

Absolutely nothing important with injuries and suspensions. The big news is the return of Messi, who was injured for a while, but he came off the bench and scored, in the weekend, vs Deportivo.

I think Barcelona will have a very hard game on this Champions League Wednesday. I expect Man City to avoid a high-score loss, and maybe even get a point. Bet on Man City +1.5 handicap with odds of 1.76 @ 1xBet or 1.74 @ Pinnacle.

Pick: Man City +1,5
Odds: 1.76 @ 1xBet
