The difference in quality is so big that anything but a win for Manchester City would mean a milestone for Viktoria Plzen. With a huge win and a bit of luck (if Bayern lose in Moscow), Manchester City would get on the first spot in the Group D.

Although there are several injuries (Silva, Kompany, Jovetic), the hosts have enough players to fill the gaps. Manchester City are having very good form and beside that surprising loss against Sunderland, they have three wins this month. Interestingly, in those games they scored an amazing eighteen goals (average of six goals per game).

Viktoria Plzen have all four defeats in the Champions League this season. They allowed twelve goals so far, making their defense one of the two worst in that competition. They are second in the Czech Liga where they have three straight wins in last three games. It looks like they gave up from European competition, as their chances for qualifying for the Europa League are slim and they have absolutely no chance of advancing to the next Champions League round.

Manchester City-Viktoria Plzen Betting tips:
