Manchester City vs Bayern Munich Prediction :
Despite having a talented squad, Manchester City will be facing a tough test this week. They have started the season poorly on the European stage, and they will be looking to prove their critics wrong.
Under Thomas Tuchel, Bayern Munich have started to show signs of improvement, and they will need to continue to do so against Manchester City. The Citizens have been more consistent throughout the season, and they hold a slight advantage over their opponents.
