It is incredibly challenging to overlook the away victory when making a Slovan Bratislava vs. Man City prediction.
History in the Champions League could be made in Slovakia on Tuesday, as Man City aims to equal Man United’s record of 24 matches unbeaten in the competition.
City will be heavily expected to achieve that feat against a Slovan side that was humbled in Scotland on matchday one.

City in Pursuit of History
Pep Guardiola will be chasing more European history on matchday two of the Champions League. City could equal Man United’s 24-match unbeaten run in the competition if they avoid defeat.
The Premier League champions maintained their unbeaten sequence by the skin of their teeth on matchday one after playing out a drab 0-0 draw against Inter Milan at the Etihad.
It was just the second time in 42 home matches under Guardiola that City had failed to score. But, it would be an obvious worry for Slovan that City netted 15 goals in five away matches in the competition last term.
Slovan Chasing First Ever UCL Group Stage Win
You’d be hard-pressed to find a selection at bigger odds than Slovan in the Champions League this week. The Slovakian side will be major outsiders in their bid to win a match in the Champions League proper for the first time in their history.
It could be worth noting that they have been impressive against lesser opposition in home matches throughout the qualifying period. In total, they netted 15 goals in four home matches.
However, their glaring shortcomings at the top of the game were evident against Celtic on matchday one. Slovan became the ninth debuting team in the competition to concede five times in their first match in the competition proper.
Man City Prediction: Cityzens to Run Riot in Slovakia
Celtic scored five against Slovan on matchday one. Therefore, the writing could be on the wall for the minnows when they come up against one of the clear favorites to win the competition this season.
