Manchester City, one of the tournament favorites, is looking for a straightforward win as they head to Slovakia to face Slovan Bratislava on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League.
Despite high hopes that Pep Guardiola’s squad will replicate their 2023 success in the tournament, City has not been in optimum form recently, securing only one victory in their last four matches. Their recent 1-1 draw with Newcastle in the Premier League highlighted the absence of midfielder Rodri due to a knee injury.
City is set to play against what many consider to be the weakest team among the 36 competing in the new single league phase of the tournament. Slovan Bratislava suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat against Celtic in their opening match.
The game between Slovan Bratislava and Manchester City will take place on Tuesday, October 1, at the Tehelné pole stadium, kicking off at 9 p.m. CEST in Slovakia. This translates to 8 p.m. BST in the UK, 3 p.m. ET and 12 p.m. PT in the US and Canada, and 5 a.m. AEST in Australia on Wednesday morning.
