City are most definitely back to winning ways and are in fine form following a convincing 5-0 win against Newcastle. Manchester City have scored nine goals in their last two games. A phenomenal return.
The return of Yaya Toure and the addition of Wilfried Bony have really boosted this City side, and with Chelsea dropping points at the weekend, the Champions look more confident of reclaiming top spot in the league.
When Barcelona and City last met at this stage last year, Barcelona came away with the wins needed to see them through.
However in both matches Barcelona faced ten men as Demichellis and Zabaleta each got a red card.
This time around, City are in form and the game is set to be extremely tight. City to win the first leg is 23/10, and they are 15/8 to qualify. Barca are 4/11 to qualify after the two legs.
With such a tight game anticipated, it is 11/10 for there to be under 2.5 goals. However if you feel that we will have a free flowing, goals galore affair – over 2.5 goals is 4/6.
Both teams to score is 4/7, but with City looking so good in their last two games, a shut out could be possible. It is 7/2 for the City defence to hold firm.
Sergio Aguero has three goals in his last two games. The Argentine can be backed at 6/1 to score first and 17/10 to score anytime.
Wilfired Bony made his debut at the weekend, and with him now registered to play in the Champions league, the African Cup of Nations winner is 13/2 to score first and 15/8 to score anytime.
Samir Nasri is two from two, a good punt would be to back him to score either first a 12/1, or anytime at 4/1.
Both David Silva and James Milner are both in goal scoring form, Silva is 11/1 to score first and 7/2 to score anytime. While Milner is 18/1 to score first and 7/2 to score anytime.
Finally, a man who has fast become a fans favourite is Frank Lampard. A smart punt would be for super Frank to score last at 11/1.
