With home ground advantages – Basel need to have at least 1 point against MC and need to stop them from scoring. If not, it will be very difficult for them to have a chance.

Man City recent performance is far better. They are super ready to conquer in Champions League. Have just defeated Leicester with the 5-1 score – including Aguero’s poker – MC are on top of the form and are more than ready to find 3 points in Belgium.

It is quite impossible to stop Man City scoring. And in another hand, Basel need at least a goal to have some hopes.
