St. Polten W vs Manchester City W

, KO: 17:45 Oct 16, 2024, Generali Arena
Manchester City W

Manchester City will be looking to continue their fine start to the UEFA Women’s Champions League as they travel to St. Polten on Wednesday. City are playing with plenty of confidence at the moment and should be too strong for their Austrian hosts.

St. Polten began their campaign in the Women’s Champions League with a 2-0 defeat to Hammarby. They were second best to the Swedish side throughout the contest and could only manage a single attempt on target.

The Austrians have been a bit erratic lately, winning just one of their last three matches across all competitions. That victory came last weekend as Liese Brancao-Ribeira’s team triumphed 3-0 over Lustenau/Dornbirn, extending their home record to 11 straight wins.

Manchester City were in fine form in their opening fixture as they eased to a 2-0 victory over reigning champions Barcelona. Goals in each half from Naomi Layzell and Khadija Shaw were enough to earn them the win.

City have looked imperious this season and are yet to taste defeat across all competitions. Gareth Taylor’s men head onto Wednesday’s clash off the back of five straight wins, including a 2-1 victory over Liverpool last weekend.

How the bookies view it: City overwhelming favourites

Manchester City have been installed as overwhelming favourites and are priced at 1/33 by bet365 to claim the win. A victory for St. Polten is valued at 50/1 while a draw is set at odds of 14/1.

Head to head: City superior

Manchester City have won the two previous matches against St. Polten. They claimed 3-0 victories across both legs in the 2017 Women’s Champions League.

Players to watch: Shaw to lead City attack

Shaw has been the standout player for Manchester City this season and has found the net sis times in the last five matches. The striker is often supported by Chloe Kelly and Lauren Hemp and can help City produce over 2.5 goals at 2/7 by bet365.

Having never conceded against St. Polten, Manchester City will be targeting another shutout on Wednesday. Alex Greenwood and Laia Aleixandri will be the ones to watch at the back and can lead the visitors to a clean sheet at 2/7 with bet365.

Probable line-ups

Rita Schumacher was on target off the bench last weekend and could be given the nod in attack for St. Polten alongside Valentina Madl. Melike Pekel should start in midfield while Jennifer Klein is set to feature at the back.

Manchester City have a pretty steady line-up and are unlikely to make too many alterations to their team. Kelly could come in to join Shaw and Hemp in attack while Aleixandri and Greenwood should continue their central defensive partnership.

St. Polten: Sieger, Krizaj, Klein, Wenger, D’Angelo, Mikolajova, Pekel, Krznaric, Hildebrand, Madl, Schumacher
Manchester City: Yamashita, Ouahabi, Aleixandri, Greenwood, Casparij, Park, Hasegawa, Roord, Kelly, Hemp, Shaw

Anything else catch the eye?

Manchester City are expected to be dominant on Wednesday and could be backed in the -3 handicap market at 5/6 with bet365. There have been more goals in the first half in the two meetings between both teams and a repeat is priced at 15/8 by bet365.
