An endless streak and an operation to overtake to set the record straight. After the beating they took against Liverpool, which came at the end of a week that also saw them eliminated from the Champions League, Guardiola’s Manchester City seem to have found their rhythm again with two wins in a row, one in the FA Cup, to try and give a different meaning to the season.
And on Saturday afternoon the smell of a big match could help the Catalan coach’s team continue to win and put the hammer down against a Nottingham team that is the real surprise package of this season. The home team is one point ahead in the Premier League standings, which was truly unpredictable at the beginning of this season. But that’s the way it is at the moment and we have to accept it, just as we have to accept something else that we mentioned in our title.
What does the streak mean? It means one thing for sure, and that should continue on Saturday afternoon: in the last five matches between these two teams, Manchester City have won 4 times and only once have they conceded a goal (a 1-1 draw). These have always been clear victories and for Nottingham it’s clear that the Citizens are a tough nut to crack, too difficult to beat. So we believe that the away win is widely predictable.

The prediction
Maybe this time City could even score, given the defensive problems they’ve had during the season, but in the end Guardiola’s team will take three points and return to third place in the standings. No doubt about it.
