Steaua Bucharest vs Man City Predictions
I do expect Manchester City to successfully navigate their way into the Champions League group stages but this will not be an easy first leg in Bucharest. Steaua have started their domestic season with three wins out of three and knocked out Sparta Prague in the last Champions League qualifying round. They have scored in their last six home Champions League matches and in their last 12 at home in all competitions. Even though I’m predicting a Man City win here I also fancy Steaua Bucharest to score so my first Steaua Bucharest vs Man City betting tip is for Man City to win and both teams to score; the best odds for this are 23/10 at William Hill.

Sergio Aguero unsurprisingly opened the scoring against Sunderland on Saturday but it was Raheem Sterling who impressed, winning the early penalty. He should be able to stretch the Bucharest defence on the counter attack and it could lead to the attacking midfielders getting chances. For my anytime goalscorer bet I am going to shy away from the short odds and Sergio Aguero and instead pick an attacking midfielder. My second Steaua Bucharest vs Manchester City prediction is for Kevin De Bruyne to score anytime and the best odds are 17/10 with Ladbrokes.

Finally, I will look to the correct score odds for Steaua Bucharest vs Manchester City and pick out a correct score prediction. City were 2-1 winners at the weekend and they will want to ensure a strong display here with a couple of away goals. I think another 2-1 scoreline is certainly on the cards and that is my third and final Steaua Bucharest vs Manchester City prediction. The best odds for City to win 2-1 are 15/2 with Bet Victor.
