INDIA FANTASY PREDICTION:

In this fixture of UEFA Champions League our bet is on the away team Manchester City because they have been a team with no fault in this season of football and they have been playing like the best European team currently so in a match against a home team that qualified in the round 16 of UCL six years back don’t possess much threat for the visitors.
