Manchester City host Hoffenheim in their last game of the round-robin phase on Wednesday evening at Etihad Stadium. The Citizens are three points clear off Lyon in second place and hence need a point here to secure the top spot in the Group F. Nevertheless, they will come into the game as heavy favourites given they are up against the vulnerable defensive line of Hoffenheim’s.
Man City won’t head into this in the highest of spirits either. They fell down to second place in the Premier League ladder after a disappointing 2-0 defeat to Chelsea on Saturday evening at Stamford Bridge.
Hoffenheim, on the other side drew 2-2 away at Wolfsburg. It was their seventh consecutive BTTS match in all competitions. Die Kraichgauer shipped nine goals in last four outings and we are not quite confident about their chances of leaving Etihad Stadium without at least three goals in their net.
