The champions league continues today with the Big Dogs Manchester City taking on Bayern Munich. It will be an entertaining match, and I have a strong hunch that it may end in a draw because both teams are strong and have plenty of champions league experience. Manchester City will win in the worst-case scenario, and as the league gets tougher, the champions league winner will ultimately come as a surprise to everyone. let's see how the match will end today.
It certainly won't be a 0-0 game. The chances for a 0-0 are a lot bigger in the match between Benfica and Inter Milan. But at Manchester City - Bayern Munich there can be a number of goals. Probably not very soon, in the first half it can also be 0-0 at half time. Haaland seems to be fit, he has trained with the selection and therefore does not seem to be bothered by an injury. Crucial, of course, whether or not he joins City. Guardiola is already comparing him to Messi and Ronaldo, maybe not very smart to do but he just wants to compliment him.
The starting lineup is available and Haaland will play from the start, after all, it seems unlikely that Haaland will be benched at this moment unless Haaland gets a serious injury. So yes, it's definitely an interesting match but I'm not sure about a 0-0 or a draw.
Because after all, Manchester city has been building a team with its best squad for a long time, it's different from Bayern Munich which seems to have some small changes at this moment because Bayern Munich has a new coach. So yes, even though a draw is still possible but with both teams to score, I think Manchester City still have a better chance of winning.
