Manchester City vs Cardiff
Manchester City seems unstoppable, and it’s hard to believe Cardiff can mess it up. Wednesday, April 3, at 21:45, “Etihad Stadium” will be the duel between the en-titre champion and the newly promoted Cardiff. It is played at stage 33, which is one of the intermediate ones.
Manchester City: The program benefits
In full form, “citizens” taught a new football lesson at the end of the last round. They had a 2-0 away from Fulham, another team with a newly promoted status. Moreover, it was the 12th consecutive victory in all competitions, being involved in both the Champions League and the English Cup. So far he has already a trophy in his account, EFL Cup and has a good chance to take the title. I say this because City ranks second with 77 points, two less than Liverpool, and a minus match. At the same time, it is also the best attacking squad, out of 81 goals, 19 belong to the Premier League goalie, Sergio Aguero.
- The probable team: Ederson – Walker, Stones, Laporter, Zinchenko – Bernardo Silva; Fernandinho, Bruyne – Sterling, Jesus, Sane
- Injury: Claudio Bravo, Vincent Kompany, Sergio Aguero
Cardiff City: Lost all matches against grandees
The level Cardiff City has proposed against the claim teams was a very weak one. I expect this to be repeated again, but the Welsh beaten quite badly. In the previous round they managed to lead 1-0 on Chelsea, but ended losing by 1-2. Both goals received came in the last seven minutes of the match and this makes it the 18th with 28 points. In a relegable place, Cardiff is five-point neutral. There was no good news from the Wednesday match, it was easy to leave. Of the 42 points he could get, he managed to raise eight and more, had the weakest attack.
- The probable team: Etheridge – Peltier, Manga, Morrison, Bennett – Arter, Gunnarsson – Murphy, Camarasa, Hoilett – Zohore
- Injuries: Sol Bamba, Callum Paterson, Matthew Connolly, Jazz Richards
Manchester City vs Cardiff Picks
It is as clear as possible what is the real difference between the two teams. The tour was 5-0 for “citizens”, being the third consecutive victory of the four defeats in their recent history. Maybe it’s a risky bet, but I expect to see a substantial difference since the break.
