Roma vs. Manchester City - Soccer Prediction

Today’s match between Roma and Manchester City is a direct confrontation of who will ‘accompany’ the Bayern Munich team in the next phase of the tournament. In a case of a victory, Roma will certainly qualify. Even if the citizens win, however, Manchester City could be out of the tournament if CSKA Moscow defeats Bayern in the next match. If there is a draw, then both teams are risking dropping out of the UEFA Champions League. If the tie is of a 2:2 or more goals, City can go forward given that CSKA loses against Bayern. Here is the soccer prediction ofSoccer-Tips:

Roma came into this match with some good news, because all the important players in the squad are going to play. Astori is returned in the group as well. Only Baldzareti, Kastan and are outside of the game. However, that will hardly prevent the Wolves to show a relatively good performance.

For the team of Manchester City the situation is quite more difficult. The citizens are going to play today without their two most important players. Sergio Aguero has a concussion and will rest for about a month. Yaya Toure is still punished. The good news is that Captain Vincent Kompany is feeling better now and will start in the central defense alongside Demichelis. Frank Lampard will be holder in midfield. Jovetic Gekko will operate in the attack.

Manchester City is facing a third dropping out in the group stage in the past four seasons. Citizens ' task is even more daunting because Roma played greatly at home against the English team. In the last seven meetings at Olimpico with any English teams, the Wolves have 5 wins and only 1 loss – in 2007/08 against Manchester United in the quarterfinals.

Given the lack of important players for the team of Manchester City, the more likely it is that Roma will win that match.
