Monaco vs. Manchester City Odds, Expert Pick & TV Info
Written by Henry Watkins on March 13, 2017
One thing that we cannot complain about with the Champions League this season is a lack of goals. Usually at this stage of the proceedings, the Round of 16, teams start to tighten up a little and play things close to the vest, but it has been the opposite this season, as free-flowing football from the best teams in Europe has led to a flood of goals. Nowhere was that more apparent than in the first leg game between Manchester City and Monaco at the Etihad a couple of weeks ago. Football fans were well aware of the attacking prowess of both teams, but I don’t think anyone believed that 8 goals would be scored, with City coming from behind to win 5-3. While it certainly was a display of great attacking football, this game also highlighted the defensive frailties of both sides, which may lead to their eventual downfall as this tournament progresses. These teams will not be looking beyond this game, though, and I think we might be in for another goal treat, as both teams are going to need to go all out for the win and a spot in the quarter-finals.
