As we wrote in our previous prediction for Manchester City, the Citizens are gradually increasing their pace in the Premier League. In the last round the next victim of the Mankunians was Crystal Palace, which they defeated at home with a score of 4:0. This victory became already the fifth within the national championship for the wards of Josep Guardiola. Previously, Manchester City beat Southampton (1:0), Newcastle (2:0), Chelsea (3:1) and Brighton (1:0). In general, the unbeaten run of the Mankunians in the Premier League has already nine matches in a row. In seven of them the “townspeople” were successful. It should be noted that Manchester City is gradually gaining in performance. In three of the last four matches the team has scored at least two goals per game, while the defense is doing just fine. Josep Guardiola’s wards have conceded only twice in the last nine fights. Such a successful game in the last segment of the season could not but be reflected in the standings of the Mankunians. After the match of the last round with Crystal Palace, they pushed Liverpool in the standings and moved into second place. The townspeople are two points behind the leading Manchester United, but they also played less. So Manchester City is now the potential leader of the championship. The Mancunians’ infirmary is empty. In question for the match are Nathan Ake, Sergio Aguero, Emeric Laporte and Eric Garcia.
Last year Sevilla celebrated its 130th anniversary with a win in the Europa League. The start of the new season turned out to be successful for the Nervion team. After 17 rounds the “red-whites” won nine victories and shared the tournament points with their opponents three times. Such results brought 30 points and sixth place in the table, but it is worth noting that guests have less per game than the leaders. Following the draw with Betis (1:1) and the victory over Real Sociedad (3:2), Yulen Lopetegui’s charges could not oppose Atletico (0:2) on the road, for which we gave a prediction. The club performed successfully in the Champions League and reached the playoffs of the tournament. In the Spanish Cup Sevilla made it to the 1/8 finals, beating Linares (2:0) and Leganes (1:0) in turn. Today Vaclik, Fernandez and Escudero, who has an injured hand, will not be able to enter the field. More soccer statistics and predictions can be obtained from the link provided.
