Match Preview

Pep Guardiola’s Man City made an excellent start to the Champions League a couple of weeks ago after registering a comfortable 2-0 success against Napoli. Erling Haaland netted the opening goal in the success, before the victory was secured following Jeremy Doku’s effort.

Meanwhile, Monaco will be aiming to get their European campaign on track after suffering a heavy 4-1 loss in their matchday one clash with Club Brugge. The defeat extended the Ligue 1 team’s winless run against Belgian clubs to five matches.

However, it could be worth noting that Monaco have avoided defeat in six of their last seven home matches against English teams. In fact, they have recorded victories in all three previous group stage matches against teams from the Premier League.

But, Guardiola is a mastermind in the opening round of the competition. The Man City boss has lost just two of his last 33 matches in the opening two rounds of the Champions League. Interestingly, both defeats have been suffered against Ligue 1 clubs.

Monaco vs. Man City Picks

Man City were dominant on MD1 against Napoli, but this should be a trickier assignment on the road. However, Monaco are yet to produce a level of form that would suggest that they are capable of upsetting the odds against a European heavyweight, meaning the preference is for the visitors when making Monaco vs. Man City picks.
