Now, let’s take a closer look at some Champions League odds and betting angles for Wednesday’s fixture:

Monaco v Manchester City – Wednesday, 8pm

Punters can bet on Monaco v Manchester City with William Hill

Monaco made a disastrous start to this UEFA Champions League campaign after suffering a 4-1 defeat against Club Brugge after being completely outplayed by the Belgian side, something that doesn’t bode well with tougher tests to come.
It’s been a strange couple of weeks for Adi Hutter’s side, that thumping in Belgium was followed up with a 5-2 victory against Metz in Ligue 1 before suffering another shock defeat on Saturday away to Lorient against the odds.
Bouncing back from those defeats doesn’t seem too likely here for Monaco, as they’ve lost five of their last seven games in this competition, although they haven’t lost on home soil in their last nine games, last defeat here came against Benfica in this competition.
——————————–
Since returning from the International break, it’s been a good period for Pep Guardiola’s side who remain unbeaten in all competitions since their defeat at Brighton (W4, D1), they head to Monaco off the back of a big 5-1 victory on Saturday against Burnley.
However, City will need to bring that type of performance here with them on Wednesday as they’ve lost their last four Champions League away games and they’ve kept just one clean sheet in their last eight UCL outings.
These two sides tend to produce goals, their two meetings so far have produced twelve goals (City 5-3 & Monaco 3-1), i can see this one being another entertaining encounter but Pep Guardiola’s side should have enough to get all three points.

Prediction: Manchester City To Score Over 2.5 Goals, Monaco 1-4 Manchester City.
