Tournament favorites Manchester City aim for a straightforward win as they head to Slovakia to face underdogs Slovan Bratislava on Tuesday in the UEFA Champions League.
Despite being widely expected to replicate their 2023 success in this tournament, City enters the match struggling with their form, having secured only one victory in their last four outings. A recent 1-1 draw against Newcastle in the English Premier League highlighted the impact of midfielder Rodri’s ongoing knee injury on the team’s performance.
On Tuesday, City will encounter arguably the weakest team among the 36 participating in the revamped league phase of the competition. The Slovakian champions suffered a heavy 5-1 defeat to Celtic in their opening match.
Slovan Bratislava will face Manchester City at the Tehelné pole stadium at 9 p.m. CEST local time in Slovakia, which corresponds to an 8 p.m. BST start in the UK, 3 p.m. ET or 12 p.m. PT in the US and Canada, and a 5 a.m. AEST kickoff in Australia on Wednesday morning.
