Pep Guardiola’s side favourites in Slovakian capital
Pep Guardiola’s side, again one of the favourites for the tournament, kicked off this year’s journey with a 0-0 draw at home to Inter Milan.
Picking up only a point in the new-look league table was no doubt disappointing but City are offered a great chance of claiming their first win of the campaign.
The Slovakian champions look like one of the weaker sides in the table, especially compared to the strength of City.
Slovan Bratislava vs Man City is scheduled for an 8pm BST kick-off time tonight, Tuesday, October 1, 2024.
The National Football Stadium in Bratislava, Slovakia will host.
TV channel: The game will be broadcast on TNT Sports 1.
Live stream: Subscribers will be able to watch on a live stream via the Discovery+ app.

Slovan Bratislava XI: Takac, Blackman, Kashia, Bajric, Wimmer, Savvidis, Ignatenko, Barseghyan, Tolic, Weiss, Strelec.
Subs: Trnovsky, Hrdina, Voet, Medvedev, Marcelli, Mustafic, Mak, Zuberu, Pauschek, Gajdos, Szoke, Metsoko.
Man City XI: Ortega, Lewis, Stones, Akanji, Gvardiol, Gundogan, Nunes, Savinho, Foden, Doku, Haaland.
Subs: Ederson, Carson, Walker, Dias, Kovacic, Grealish, Bernardo, McAtee.
Even with rotation in mind, it would be a huge shock not to see City win against these Champions League minnows.
After shipping five against Celtic in their competition debut, you really fear for Bratislava.
Man City to win, 5-0.
The two teams have never played.
Slovan Bratislava to win: 30/1
Draw: 11/1
Man City to win: 1/20
