Manchester City look to sneak through into Champions League after missing out on automatic qualification due to a disappointing fourth placed finish in last season’s English Premier League.
The Citizens started their life with Pep Guardiola with a 2-1 win against Sunderland in the opening day of English Premier League. They win might not have been that convincing, but is a certain confidence booster after experiencing a difficult pre-season where they failed to win a single match inside the regulated ninety minutes.
City’s host for Tuesday, Steaua Bucharest are in some fine form at the moment. They have already played six competitive matches and remain unbeaten with 5 wins and a draw. They defeated a very strong Sparta Prague in the previous round on a 3-1 aggregate and their confidence will be very high. Also considering the fact that they are huge underdogs and will be playing with less pressure make them a difficult opponent for Manchester City to deal with.
