Steaua - Manchester City
Steaua - Manchester City
Probable teams:
City: Caballero, Stones, Otamendi, Kolarov, Zabaleta, Fernando Fernandinho, Silva, Stirling, de Broglie, Aguero
Steaua: Nice, Tamas, Toshka, Enache, Momcilovic, Achim, pint, Tudorie, Aganovich, Stanchu, Golubovic
The two teams face first against one another on the European stage, which is understandable because of the late appearance of "citizens" among the elite on the continent.
Former European champions Steaua enter with great confidence in clashes with the English club led by new manager Pep Guardiola. The coach of Romanian Laurentiu Regekamf believes that his boys will take groups of the most prestigious European club tournament.
Steaua has played 18 games against English clubs, recording five wins and nine defeats, each success was achieved on Romanian land. The UK team has two draws and seven losses in nine meetings.
Manchester City has played just once against a team from our northern neighbor. This happened in 2010, in the playoffs for entry into the Europa League. Then "sky-blue" eliminated Timisoara with a total score 3: 0.
City will be without the injured Nasri, Bonnie, manganese, Zinchenko, Kompany, Gundogan, Sanne and Denayer, while Yaya Toure left in Manchester because of a decision of Guardiola not rely on it today. However, Pep took in the group matches youngsters like Gunn, Adarabioyo and Tasende.
