Basel’s home form impresses
In the group game, they won both Manchester United and Benfica at home and the fact is that they won four of their last five home matches in the Champions League. Furthermore, you have the same home-match results against English resistance in the tournament. The young goalkeeper Dimitri Oberlin has scored four goals in the tournament.
City is aiming to go all the way
With a coach who won the Champions League on two occasions and with a team that heads the 16-point Premier League, it is clear that you are aiming high. But the fact is that only one-and-a-half passed at one time and it was the 2014/15 season that went out in the semi-final against Real Madrid. Furthermore, the team has only managed to win one of its six last away matches in the tournament races and has scored goals in all six matches. So there are some question marks there. City’s top goalkeeper is Raheem Sterling and he has scored four goals in his last five matches in the tournament.
PREDICTION: City win @ 1.33
