Manchester City v Hoffenheim Preview and Prediction

Date/Time: Wednesday 12^th December 2018 (Kick-off 8 PM)

On Wednesday night, Manchester City host Hoffenheim in Group F of the Champions League.

City have already qualified for the knockout stages and a draw in this clash will see Pep Guardiola’s side win the group. Hoffenheim are out of contention for qualification, but can still finish in third with a win in this game, but only if Shakhtar lose against Lyon.

City are unbeaten in four Champions League games, having collected three wins and a draw. In fact, a 2-2 draw at Lyon last time out ended a three-game winning run for the Citizens in Europe.

The home side has been prolific in the competition of late, scoring two or more goals in their last four matches. One negative for the Citizens is that they have lost three of their last four home games in Europe’s elite competition.
