Slovan Bratislava vs Man City Bet Builder Tips: Haaland to score as part of 23/10 punt

Slovan Bratislava could hardly have been given a harder draw for their first-ever Champions League fixture at the Tehelne pole as the Slovak First Football league champions take on Manchester City on Tuesday night (kick-off, 20:00 BST).

We’ve put together a 23/10 effort for our Slovan Bratislava vs Man City bet builder tips for this European encounter, as both teams look to get their first three points on the board of the new continental campaign.

Football Odds

Over 3.5 goals

City’s form has taken a slight downward turn in recent weeks, with just one win from their last four matches in all competitions.

However, despite the loss of key players to injury, most notably Rodri who is out for the season, the star quality that the Citizens possess across the field should see plenty of goals in Slovakia on Tuesday.

Eight of City’s last 11 matches in this competition have produced a minimum of four goals, while eight different players have found the back of the net this season for Pep Guardiola’s side across all competitions.

The Tehelne pole has also produced some high-scoring encounters in recent weeks - with two of the last three here seeing winners in the over 3.5 goals market - while Slovan were also thrashed in their last Champions League fixture (5-1 against Celtic).

With the hosts looking leaky defensively and Guardiola’s men ever-dangerous in attack, a high-scoring meeting looks a real possibility.

Erling Haaland to score anytime

While eight players have scored for City this season, only one man - striker Erling Haaland - has netted more than once and the Norwegian looks a strong bet to open his Champions League account for the season.

The 24-year-old already has 10 goals to his name in the Premier League this season and has only failed to score in three of his eight appearances in all competitions so far.

Haaland has netted 18 goals across his last two Champions League campaigns and so it is unlikely that the former Borussia Dortmund man will remain off the scoresheet for too much longer.

David Strelec to have 1+ shots

The hosts are not expected to pose too much of a threat to the Citizens in this encounter, but they possess some quality in attack that could ask questions of a City defence that has failed to keep many clean sheets in recent weeks.

Slovakian forward David Strelec could be their best chance of testing the goal of the visitors and he heads into this encounter on the back of scoring twice in a 4-2 victory at Michalovce.

Strelec registered two shots in their Champions League opener at Celtic and has eight goals in all competitions this season for the hosts.

The 23-year-old may be a lonely figure at times for the Belasi in this encounter, so do not be surprised if he tries his luck whenever possible.
