FC Barcelona - Manchester City

Barcelona secured a comfortable lead of 2 goals in the previous clash between the two teams. Most experts believe Barca will seamlessly move to the next stage of the tournament, but hardly anyone in the squad of Barcelona thinks the task would be too easy.

Bearing in mind both teams goalscoring abilities, the football tips for over 2.5 goals in this game seem adequate.

Undoubtedly, Manchester City have the necessary potential to overcome any opponent. Earlier in the season, they even managed to win the visit to the current Champions League champions - Bayern Munich. In their home game against Barcelona, Manchester City ware without Sergio Aguero, who is now fully recovered and will participate in the upcoming match. With Aguero in their ranks, the citizens definitely look much more dangerous in attack.

Barcelona suffered a surprise defeat by Valladolid in the last round of La Liga. So, Barca rank third in the standings and this certainly does not appeal to their supporters. A potentional drop out of the Champions League at this stage is unacceptable for Barcelona and given their lead by 2 goals, it is expected to see the team in the quarterfinals.
