Manchester City v Red Star Belgrade – Gut Feelings

How The BnB Workforce Suppose City Will Do Towards Red Star

Champions Manchester City welcome Red Star Belgrade to the Etihad Stadium because the blues begin the defence of their Champions League crown.

They face the Serbian facet for the primary time of their historical past and, whereas some think about this to be a straightforward opening tie, it’s something however.

Red Star had been a part of the previous Yugoslavia when, in 1991, they upset French champions and favourites for the European Cup Marseille to take the trophy. A boring match ended goalless, with Red Star successful on penalties.

It’s a distinct facet right now, with Red Star now being a part of Serbia, however they nonetheless can’t be taken frivolously.

So, how do our staff assume the blues will carry out tonight? Let’s have a look.

I do not forget that recreation between Red Star and Marseille. Effectively, after I say keep in mind, I keep in mind betting with a bloke concerning the eventual champions and the penalty shoot-out.
