On paper, Pep Guardiola’s men should score four or five goals, โปรโมชั่นพิเศษจาก UFABET สมัครตอนนี้ รับโบนัสทันที shake hands, take some pictures and advance to the quarter-finals without any dramas.
However, with the way things have gone for the Citizens this season, it wouldn’t surprise us if things go in a completely different direction.
Guardiola’s once indomitable team are in a big old slump at the moment, losing four of their last seven matches and conceding 14 goals in that time.
Plymouth, of course, would need a miracle to beat a team that has won four Premier League titles in a row and has a market value of £1.3billion. Then again, that’s what we said when they playe Liverpool… and we know how that ende.
Man City -2 handicap
Yes, Plymouth got the better of Liverpool in the previous round, but you have to think about the context. The Reds have bigger fish to fry and they weren’t exactly fusse by the FA Cup this season.
Man City, on the other hand, will be looking at the FA Cup as their last potential source of silverware this season.
When you couple that motivation with the enormous gulf in quality between both teams, it’s hard to envisage anything other than a dominant City victory.
Guardiola’s men come into this game on the back of a 1-0 win over Tottenham. While beating Spurs is no great achievement nowadays, it does mean City are back on winning tracks. That can only spell bad news for Plymouth who should brace for impact.
