Manchester City host Porto in the first round Group C tie in
the Champions League at the Etihad (Manchester) on Wednesday, October 21 and
the match kicks-off is at 8pm (UK).
MATCH PREVIEW
These two teams have clashed twice in Europe so far, with Manchester City winning both of their previous two meetings with Porto, doing the double over the Portuguese - an away 2-1 win and 4-0 at home - in the Last 32 of the UEFA Europa League in 2011/12. Both Man City and Porto have progressed to the knock-out stage last season, with city losing the quarter-final (3-1) to Lyon and Porto being beaten home and away by Bayer Leverkusen in the Round-of-32.
MATCH ANALYSIS
If Manchester City were one of the strongest sides to feature in Pot 2 of UEFA’s seeding system, Portuguese champions Porto were arguably the weakest to come from Pot 1. As such, City are strong favourites to qualify as Group C winners and progress to the knockout stages for an eighth successive season. However, Manchester City’s indifferent start to the 2020/21 Premier League season has not filled fans with optimism. With the games beginning to build up in the final two weeks of October, the Guardiola may opt to rest certain stars for this game, he will be confident of picking up a straightforward three points against Sergio Conceicao’s side, despite City’s mixed record of four defeats in their nine opening Champions League group games since 2011.
As for Porto, they lost a lot with Fabio Silva’s departure. The teenager who was supposed to be their playmaker left, and to make it even worse, Danilo Pereira jumped to PSG and Alex Telles to Man Utd at the finish of the transfer window. The most prominent signing, Evanilson, is an enigma, and we’ll see how he handles the new environment. Unlike previous years, Porto heads into the campaign with several experienced players who will be crucial for their performances.As usual, the Dragons play 4-3-3 but aren’t that keen on pressuring the rivals in the moments when having the lead, so don’t expect from them to provide high-efficient matches often enough. They will probably have to fight it out for the 2nd place in the group with Marceille and Olympiakos and every point here will be huge for them

Ten seasons after his last Champions League title, there are plenty of questions about Pep Guardiola and whether his philosophy leads the game as it once did, but few of them are likely to be asked in the group stage. Even though Porto have lost only 2 of their 12 group stage games in the UEFA Champions League under Sérgio Conceição (W8 D2), winning each of the last five in a row, Manchester City are huge favourites ahead of this match so,
My prediction is: Manchester City win
