Swindon - Manchester City Prediction, Picks and Tips
The beauty of the English Cup games is also given by this kind of confrontation. Swindon Town - Manchester City is a duel that will pit the Premier League champion against a modest League Two club. Certainly, it is not a question of the final result, but only of the final score. However, Man City may not have pressed the accelerator pedal too hard. It will be a real celebration for the fans and the players of the hosts, who are probably in front of the career match. Swindon is a team with claims to promotion to League One this season. At the moment, "the Robins" occupies a play-off position (5) in the fourth echelon, with 37 points obtained in 22 stages. There are only two "lengths" to Sutton, on the 3rd, on the spot that ensures automatic advancement to the next division. However, Ben Garner's students have only won one of the previous five rounds of League Two. That only success came this weekend: 5-2 vs Northampton. Swindon had previously lost to Barrow (0-2) and Leyton Orient (1-4), but had drawn with Stevenage (0-0) and Harrogate (1-1). Swindon Town reached this phase of the FA Cup after beating Crewe (3-0) and Walsall (2-1).
On the other hand, Pep Guardiola's students continue in the usual grade and do not give any chance to the opponents in the Premier League. Man City is already considered the champion by many specialists, and the results from the beginning of the year came as if to confirm this. Taking advantage of the 2-2 draw between Chelsea and Liverpool, the "citizens" now have a 10-point lead at the top of the Albion hierarchy. City defeated Arsenal 2-1 on January 1 in a not-so-easy match for the Emirates guests. The decisive goal was scored by Rodri in extra time. This was after the "gunners" had opened the score and evolved in numerical inferiority following a red card received by the Brazilian Gabriel. City had five wins in a row in the Champions League after losing to Leipzig (1-2): 1-0 vs Wolves, 7-0 vs Leeds, 4-0 vs Newcastle, 6-3 vs Leicester and 1- 0 vs Brentford.
