Preview

A really crious one here as City have never faced a Serbian team and not Red Star, who are a one time UCL winner. A fun match between an unknown and City.

City will look to take advantage and start the new UCL campaign on the right foot.

That way the way to start up top in the group is easier with an opening match win.

It should be an interesting match.

Team News

City’s injuries are Mateo Kovacic, Jack Grealish and John Stones are out.

For RSB, seem all ready to go.

Prediction

Manchester City 3-0 Red Star Belgrade
