Friendly match

odds 2.19

The teams played against each other in the 2016 Champions League group stage, with both matches ending in draws - 3:3 and 1:1. Celtic is undefeated in the off-season. Manchester City will play their first friendly match this summer.

Manchester City

Manchester City had an outstanding previous season in the English Premier League, securing another championship title. However, Pep Guardiola’s team fought for the “gold” until the final matchday, finishing just two points ahead of Arsenal. In the Champions League, the “Citizens” were eliminated in the quarterfinals.

Celtic

Celtic fully justified their status as the main favorites for the championship title in the Scottish Premier League last season. Brendan Rodgers’ team had to catch up with Rangers several times during the season, but ultimately took advantage of the “Gers” mistakes in the final stretch, finishing eight points ahead of their rivals and defeating them in the Scottish Cup final as well.

Prediction

Our expert pick: Manchester City will be without several key players who are still resting after the Euros and Copa America. However, they will surely aim to play their aggressive attacking style. Celtic, on the other hand, will not simply sit back and defend, and they are likely to create problems for City's defense.

We believe the match will be high-scoring. Our prediction is over 3.5 goals, with this outcome offered at odds of 2.19.
