Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the friendly match.
Manchester City
Manchester City have been playing brightly in their attacking actions. However, their defence leaves much to be desired. At least three goals have been scored in each of the games they’ve played. Overnight to Wednesday Barcelona had a lead twice and finally beat the Citizens on penalties. The English side uses their reserve and key players in positions they’re not used to. They let Barcelona create 1.74 xG. Defensive game is a weak point of Manchester CIty now.
Chelsea
At least three goals have been scored in 3 games that Chelsea have played in the USA. They started well in the game against América, with Nkunku and Guiu scoring a goal each by the 21st minute. Madueke scored the 3rd goal in the end of the game, proving Chelsea were the best in this match (24:10 shots statistics).
Manchester City - Chelsea Prediction
The Manchester City fans shouldn’t be afraid of the 3-games losing streak in the friendly matches as some young players got their time on the pitch. Top stars are coming back to the Manchester City squad. Chelsea have been using all their available players. The Citizens will use high pressing. The sides will have some free space. so they can score a lot even before the half-time.
