Why Bet on Manchester City?

The Citizens shipped four goals against Celtic and then three against AC Milan while scoring five themselves over the two games, so,it’s safe to assume this should be another goal-laded affair.Either way, the thing to take note is that Manchester City hasn’tbeen successful in any of these friendly matches yet.

Ederson will be pushing for another start after getting the nod against AC Milan. Josh Wilson-Esbrand and Rico Lewis should get further opportunities, with Erling Haaland also in the squad.

Why Bet on Barcelona?

In the few times that both of these clubs have met before in official games, we have to note that there have been no draws, with City taking the win once, and Barcelona proving to be the ones with the upper hand, getting five victories.

Now, the Culés kick off their pre-season preparations with this clash, as new head coach Hansi Flick takes charge of his first game since being appointed.

Raphinha, Ilkay Gundogan, and Jules Kounde will join up with the Barcelona squad after this game, leaving the likes of Marc-Andre Ter Stegen as one of the few regular first-team stars.

Final Betting Analysis: Manchester City vs. Barcelona

Both teams are still missing the bulk of their squad who played at international tournaments this summer, but there will still be plenty of quality on show.

This is also an opportunity for Barcelona to see how things feel now that they have their new head coach taking charge, and for that reason, this game is a lot more interesting.

We expect the Spain representatives to get the win here, as they tend to get the upper hand over their current opponents. Go for a 3-2.

Go for a victory for Barcelona at 2.64. If you bet $100 at such odds, you could get $164 for a total payout of $264.
