Defending Premier League champions Manchester City head to the NRG Stadium in Houston to kickstart their pre-season campaign against Liga MX juggernauts Club America.
Manchester City pulled off a jaw-dropping second-half comeback to turn a 2-0 deficit into an all-important 3-2 home triumph over Aston Villa on the final weekend of last season. It did not only make it four matches without losing in all competitions (W3, D1) but helped them beat Liverpool to the Premier League title by a single point. After winning back-to-back league crowns, Pep Guardiola has acquired the services of the world’s most talented young striker Erling Haaland from Borussia Dortmund. The Norwegian goal machine should add a new dimension to Guardiola’s intimidating firepower up top, with Man City coming into this fixture having netted an impressive average of 3.75 goals across their last four outings.
Meanwhile, Club America’s utmost effort to avoid defeat against Chelsea in Las Vegas last time out came a cropper as they eventually slipped to a 2-1 loss. The Mexicans’ topsy-turvy spell of form has seen them pick up just one triumph from their last four matches (D1, L2), bagging under 1.5 goals in three. Playing away from home won’t improve their hopes of bouncing back, as they’ve only won once in their last five games on hostile turf (D1, L3). In doing so, they conceded 2+ goals on four occasions, casting doubt on their hopes of keeping Man City’s outrageous attacking line-up at bay.
