Man City vs Inter Milan preview & prediction

Match preview

On Saturday at the Ataturk Olympic Stadium in Istanbul, the UEFA Champions League will showcase what is perhaps the biggest match of the season thus far as Inter Milan takes on Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City team.

Inter Milan has had a solid start to the season and ended third in the Serie A standings. The Nerazzurri narrowly defeated Torino 1-0 in their previous match, and they will have to put in a lot of effort this weekend to repeat that feat.

Since the beginning of the year, Manchester City has been in terrific form and has already won two titles this year. The City Citizens defeated Manchester United to win the FA Cup last week, and they have a chance to complete the triple in Sunday’s game.
