The Germans of the Schalke today hosts for the first leg of the Champions League round of sixteen the Manchester City. The first come to this challenge after the second place in their group behind the Port. The second instead passed the round winning the group with 13 points out of the total 18.
So let’s start from the hosts who have met a fairly balanced group and not easy to overcome. In fact, the Port won 5/6 match by drawing only one. However, they decided to concentrate their forces on this competition and in fact the numbers in the league are really disastrous. After 22 days, just 23 points have been won by finding themselves in the lower area of the standings with a victory that has been missing in the Bundes for a good month. A team that has encountered many difficulties this season also complicates the numerous injuries and today will have to concentrate its forces against an opponent on the strongest card.
Guests who come from the success achieved in the Champions League group. In Premier, however, they reached Liverpool at the top of the table even if the latter have one race less. Saturday then in the FA Cup match against Newport they took home the victory that is therefore worth access to the quarterfinals. Dense of meaning represents the 6-0 tennis game against Chelsea in the last championship. A result that best incorporates the excellent moment of the citizens who come to this challenge with a very good form. A team that runs perfectly with a technician, Pep Guardiola, still at all victories and trophies.
Eighth end from the outcome quite taken for granted. Favorite guests on the card, they certainly have a stronger rose than the Germans, plus the excellent state of form combined with the experience of the technician easily describe what the outcome will be. We therefore expect success from the guests, also followed by numerous networks.
