Slovan Bratislava - Player To Watch
David Strelec has four goals in eight matches this season and scored a double at the weekend.
Man City - Player To Watch
If Man City still had Julian Alvarez, Guardiola might have given Erling Haaland a rest, but with no other strikers in the squad, the big Norwegian will likely be given the opportunity to run riot in Slovakia.
Slovan Bratislava vs Man City - Prediction
Even if Man City rest a few players, they will still have more than enough to win this game emphatically. Slovan did not look up to Champions League standard in the opening match versus Celtic and loss 5-1. Here, they face one of the best teams in Europe and should be afraid.
