Man City vs Celtic preview

The English and Scottish champions meet in a tasty pre-season clash in the United States later tonight.

City are just beginning their pre-season preparations with this meeting the first of four matches across the pond.

They’re without many of their Euro 2024 stars, though the likes of Erling Haaland, Ederson and Jack Grealish are involved and will likely see some minutes at least.

For Celtic, they’re much further on in their prep with the Scottish season kicking off in just over a week.

They’ve scored ten goals across their last two games, including four against DC United just a few days ago and you’d fancy they’ll be much sharper for this one.

The pair last met back in 2016, playing out 3-3 and 1-1 draws in the Champions League group stages.

Chance to impress

City’s squad is mostly made up of youngsters – a category Oscar Bobb fits into.

But he’s gained some vital first team experience which puts him ahead of his peers and this could be a breakthrough season for him, with this game an early chance to impress.

Goals galore

These sides are used to racking up plenty of goals domestically and the settings of this match-up suggests that won’t change here.

Celtic scored four the other night and will fancy themselves to score a couple here, particularly with the abundance of youngsters City will play and with their prep further ahead. City will score too with the attacking talent they bring.
