Manchester City – Inter. Forecast and announcement for the Champions League match

On September 18, the match of the 1st round of the Champions League will be held at the Etihad, in which “Manchester City” will meet with “Inter”. The match will start at 22:00 Kyiv time.

Manchester City

The year before last, the team finally achieved its long-standing goal – won the Champions League. And she could have done it again, but Real Madrid was against it, and bad luck. With a clear advantage over the cream, the English ended up losing to them in a penalty shootout. And Bernardo Silva’s failed scoop was decisive – Lunin didn’t start guessing and calmly caught the ball flying straight at him. After all, the townspeople won the Premier League, and then added the Super Cup of England – already without Alvarez, who went to Atlético, and then Bobb broke down. At the same time, reinforcements came from Spain: Savio, who opened in Girona, and Gundogan, who returned after a one-year business trip to Barcelona. They helped to start with victories, although, of course, Holland mostly soloed, which is worth two consecutive hat tricks. With Brentford, he added another double, completed a new victory.

Inter

Before the beginning of the last season, the club significantly changed its composition. It seemed that he was barely changing those he had to say goodbye to. And in fact, the blue-blacks gathered an excellent group of players that won the Scudetto, leaving no one in doubt about the fairness of such an outcome. At the same time, in other tournaments, including the Champions League, not everything was successful, but it was written off, celebrating the title. This was the last success of Chinese investors – due to credit problems, the Milan project came under the control of bankers. So it is not surprising that Simone Inzaghi received reinforcements in the form of free agents, albeit good ones: Tarema and Zelinsky. The champion immediately lost points in Genoa, conceding in the 95th minute. But after 2:2 with Genoa, Lecce and Atalanta were beaten – and they defeated their neighbors 4:0. But Montsei again lost points on the road, playing 1:1.

Statistics of personal meetings

The giants exchanged victories in friendly matches. Well, many people remember the only official match: in the final of the 2023 Champions League, Rodra’s only goal sealed the victory for the English.

Forecast

Bookmakers do not believe in guests – the Italians on the road do not impress. We bet that Holland and company will win with a handicap of -1 goal (coefficient – 1.78).
