Just over a year ago, Manchester City and Inter met in the Champions League final, which was hard-won by the Citizens. Now the two teams meet again and once again City are seen as strong favorites. They are also the hosts in the match, which further increases their chances.
Repetition of the final in IstanbulAt the start of the new Serie A season, Inter are showing the level of the past championship for them, but in their four matches so far they already have two draws, while City have four wins in the same number of matches played since the start of the season. In the Champions League, City are incredibly good, especially at home, having won 13 of their last 14 home games.
Bet for under 3.5 goalsIt seems that expectations here are for more goals, which is normal when Manchester City are playing. However, Inter are capable of keeping their defense tight and have done so many times, so I don't think we will see more than three goals in this match.

The most elite international club tournament is here, with the new format, most participants, and a different way of ranking in the qualifiers, literally nothing is known. In the first round, it is impressive that there is a match, which we watched as the final of this tournament in 2023. We are talking about the match between Manchester City and Inter.
One very interesting and important thing that is expected to be taken into account by both teams, even though it is early in the season, is that both teams have quite tough matches coming up this weekend. Inter faces Milan in the Milan derby, while Manchester City faces the title contender in the Premier League - Arsenal. Probably both teams will be thinking to some extent about these upcoming clashes, without throwing all their available resources here. We must note that this is the first match in the Champions League, so I'm not sure that Manchester City and Inter will give their absolute best.
I admit, I expect a draw, precisely because of the schedule they have this weekend. I don't think either of them will easily give the victory to the other, I don't think there will be that many goals either. Let's say 1:1 as the final result. It seems to me that in any case, both teams will not want to lose and then think about a possible victory in the first round of the Champions League. It's early and a draw seems like a fair option.
