    Manchester City should control possession and create many chances at the Etihad, but AEK have scored freely domestically and could take advantage on the break. Expect a high-scoring City win given home form and AEK defensive frailties in the Champions League.

    Both teams to score55%

    Manchester City should control this at the Etihad, with strong home attacking form (14 goals in their last four home games). Their recent defensive lapses, including 4 conceded against PSG, give AEK a fair chance to score. A comfortable City win looks most likely.

    Manchester City are expected to dominate possession and create numerous scoring opportunities at home. AEK Athens struggled defensively in their previous European away trip and face a daunting task. A convincing, high-scoring victory for the hosts is the most probable outcome.
