LiontipsManchester City vs Barcelona. Prediction and bets on the friendly match
Command Analysis
Manchester City are not impressive in summer friendlies – losses to Celtic (3:4) and Milan (2:3). At the same time, the Citizens delight American fans with a productive game, which is very important for such exhibition matches. The reasons for the failures are largely due to the fact that not all the leaders are present at the training camp. Guardiola actively “tests” the youth in these sparring matches. Thus, Oscar Bobb is showing himself well in a team with Erling Haaland , in the match against Milan the Norwegian scored from an Oscar pass, the footballer also scored a goal in the game against the Scots.
Barcelona played only one friendly match in preparation for the new season, beating modest Olot with a minimal score of 1:0. Xavi left the post of head coach of the Catalans, and they quickly found a replacement in the person of Hansi Flick , who had been out of work for almost a year. In terms of transfers, everything is still quite calm in the Barcelona camp. They signed only Pau Vitor from Girona. Sergi Roberto, Serginho Dest and Marcos Alonso left the club as free agents.

The games against Celtic and Milan showed that Manchester City, even with a sub-optimal lineup, are far from their best, especially in terms of defensive performance. It is unlikely that anything will change radically today. Barcelona are certainly no weaker than their previous opponents and are quite capable of playing for a draw with the English giants.
