Stoke City vs Manchester City

Premier League

STK VS MCI MATCH PREVIEW:

The Champions-elect Manchester City will be traveling to the windy bet365 Stadium to face the strugglers Stoke City in the Premier League on Monday night.

Pep Guardiola’s team is only four wins away from clinching their 3rd Premier League title, and based on current form of both the teams, there are more than decent chances that it would be three games after the match against the Potters.

Though Stoke are at 19th place, and in the danger zone, they are only seven points worse off from 11th placed Brighton & Hove Albion. Also considering that all the teams surrounding them have dropped points during the weekend round of fixtures, Stoke can move out of the relegation zone with a win over the Citizens.

But can you see it happening?

Paul Lambert has certainly weaved his magic since he took charge of the Potters. He has managed to build some momentum as his side is now on a five game unbeaten streak. But that may not be enough to save Stoke’s Premier League status as his team will be facing the likes of Manchester City, Arsenal, Tottenham, and Liverpool in the remaining fixtures.

Manchester City, on the other hand, are having a campaign where they could be the only team to collect more than 100 points in a single season. To achieve that feat, Pep needs only 20 points from the remaining 27 available, and it is really achievable for Man City.

Manchester City have lost only one game in the Premier League all season. That loss came on the road and against Liverpool.

INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:

Manchester City are the entertainers and are the hot-favorite in this match. But Stoke City are fighting for their lives and that makes them a formidable opposition. Also, everybody knows about the cold and the windy night in Stoke and how it plays into the hosts’ hands. So City will definitely not be cruising in this match.

A 1-3 win for the visitors.
