Slovan Bratislava is set to face Manchester City in a Champions League group stage match on October 1, 2024, at the Tehelne Pole Stadium in Bratislava, Slovakia. Following a disappointing 5-1 defeat against Celtic in their last Champions League outing, the hosts are eager to improve their performance. They enter this match after securing a 4-2 victory over Michalovce in their domestic league.
Manchester City, on the other hand, seeks to achieve their first Champions League win of the season. The team was held to a goalless draw against Inter Milan in their opening match and followed it up with a 1-1 draw against Newcastle United in the Premier League. Both teams are looking to capitalize on this crucial fixture.
As the match approaches, both squads are reported to be in good health, with Slovan Bratislava having no injuries or suspensions. Slovakian striker David Strelec, who netted two goals in the recent league win, is expected to lead the attack for the home side. Manchester City will likely field a strong lineup featuring key players such as Erling Haaland and Jack Grealish.
This highly anticipated clash promises an exciting encounter, with Slovan Bratislava hoping for home advantage against a formidable Manchester City side.
