Comprehensive Analysis:

This season, Monaco has indeed lacked stability in terms of results so far. In their first Champions League match, they lost 1-4 away to Club Brugge. Admittedly, there were factors affecting their preparation for that game: their flight failed to take off on time due to an air conditioning issue, which meant the team only arrived at the away venue on the day of the match. Their overall preparation was fraught with disruptions, and they ultimately lost. Returning to the league, in their last match, they were defeated 1-3 away by Lorient. Although a red card was a contributing factor in that game, one key point to note is that the team is currently suffering significant losses in the midfield. Several absolute key midfielders—Aleksandr Golovin, Denis Zakaria, Youssouf Fofana Camara, and Mohamed Bamba—are all injured. As a result, defenders Axel Disasi and Ismaël Jakobs have been playing as makeshift midfielders, and this situation will remain the same in this match. The team still faces a shortage of personnel in the midfield, which is a current weakness for Monaco. Clearly, it will be difficult for them to take on Manchester City.

Manchester City easily defeated Napoli in their first Champions League match this season. Of course, the opponent’s red card played a role—Napoli captain Giovanni Di Lorenzo was sent off in the 21st minute, and Napoli basically gave up the game afterward, allowing City to win with ease. The team has also been in good form recently in the league: in their last league match, they beat Burnley 5-1, with Erling Haaland scoring 2 goals and providing 1 assist, still named the Man of the Match. From the perspective of the current squad, a few players including Cherki and Malmström are absent, but this has basically had little impact. At the same time, there is a positive factor: Rodri, the team’s key midfielder, did not play in the last league match but will return for this one. Up front, the attack is still led by Haaland, who has scored 50 goals in 49 Champions League appearances. He still aims to set a new record in this match.

Summary:

Initially, the Asian Handicap offered a maximum of Manchester City [-1.0] with high odds and a minimum of [-0.75] odds. In the subsequent trend, most bookmakers basically adjusted the handicap to [-1.25] with medium-high odds. Combining the fundamental situation and recent form of both sides, the [-1.25] handicap provides strong support for Manchester City. In terms of European Odds (1X2), the odds for home win (Monaco) and draw have shown an upward trend, while the odds for away win (Manchester City) have decreased significantly, with the figures basically controlled around an average of 1.48. Specifically, William Hill’s odds shifted from 4.33-4.00-1.67 to 6.00-4.40-1.44. Up to now, Asian and European odds have remained basically in sync. Under the [-1.25] handicap, Manchester City maintains medium-low returns. In addition, the European Odds clearly support the away team, so it is advisable to back Manchester City to secure a big away win in this match.
