Current Form Man City
Manchester City is among the bookmakers one of the big favorites for the Champions League title. If you now complete a long-term bet on the overall victory, you get odds around 3.50 for the English. The Skyblues can also get the triple from Henkelpot, Championship and FA Cup. In the first leg it looked like a surprise defeat for the Guardiola-Elf. Kun Agüero brought the guests into the lead after a good fifteen minutes. 2 missed penalties before the break by Nabil Bentaleb but turned the game.

Exactly Schalke-based Leroy Sane hit a straightforward free-kick and Raheem Sterling struck late in the stoppage of success for the Citizens. The guests played more than 20 minutes outnumbered. Defender Nicolas Otamendi is missing in the second leg because of the yellow-red. Now the English are clearly in the advantage for the rise. And for the win in the second leg, which we want to treat at this point. ManCity, which leads the Premier League by 1 point ahead of Liverpool, has already defeated a German team in their own stadium in this premier season: Hoffenheim 2-1 in the preliminary round.

The offensive of the English master is extremely difficult to calculate. 4 players have 3 hits: Agüero, David Silva, Gabriel Jesus and Sane. 8 players have already met in the premier class. Sterling also marked a hat-trick against Watford (3: 1) at the weekend. The last 34 games in which the 25-year-old English team striker was present, has not lost his team. City has recently won 4 consecutive wins over Bundesliga teams. With only 1 defeat they brought a total of 7 wins and 2 draws. In addition, the Skyblues never had to beat home in a second leg match if they had already won the first leg.

Current form Schalke
Much does not speak for Schalke 04 at first sight. And even on closer inspection, only the courage of desperation for the miners could be the decisive factor in this duel. In the home game you have indeed seen that you can bring the big favorites for 85 minutes to the brink of defeat. The initial situation, however, indicates a departure among the last 16 out. In addition, there are disputes in the environment of the club, as the performance in the Bundesliga leaves much to be desired.

The Royal Blues are only 14th, 4 points ahead of the relegation zone. Coach Domenico Tedesco may only lead the team for mercy. But perhaps this mood on Schalke leads to a now-now-right-mentality that unleashes unimagined powers and surprises the supposedly overpowering opponent. After all: ManCity has won only 1 of his last 5 home games in the knockout stages of the Champions League. Schalke's away record, however, is devastating. In competition terms, they have only celebrated a complete success in foreign countries since November, with 3 draws and 5 defeats.

At least since last week we know that supposedly safe starting positions in the UEFA Champions League do not always lead to the next round. Defending champions Real Madrid and Paris St. Germain were eliminated despite fierce defeats in the first leg, after fierce defeats at home. Strictly speaking, FC Schalke could take on an example for Ajax Amsterdam or Manchester United before the deciding return match at Manchester City, but lacking, probably not only in the neutral football fans, any belief in such a sensational coup. The background is primarily the sporting crisis that the Royal Blues have been undergoing since the beginning of the season and even moved into the relegation battle of the Bundesliga. In addition, the reigning English champion is, of course, much better in terms of quality.

That in the match Manchester City vs. Schalke are thus issued such one-sided quotas, by no means surprising. However, the "Citizens" should not completely take the easy task against the Gelsenkirchen, because after all, the first match ended only three weeks ago with a 3-2 away win for the big favorite, who also only in the final stages of the match could turn in their own favor. Also interesting is the fact that the Guardiola team has been able to survive in the last five seasons actually only twice the round of the last 16 in the premier class. Will the English get cold feet again? If you want to tip Manchester City and Schalke to an away win for the Tedesco team, you could multiply your bet by a factor of 23.00 and win a mega-win

Manchester City and Schalke faced each other four times in competitive matches. A tip on the "Citizens" paid off in three cases. The only success of the Royal Blues dated from the 1969/1970 season has logically no influence on the upcoming match. In the first leg, the Schalke presented themselves as unpleasant opponents and missed it, despite a 2-1 lead and superior, at least to draw a draw.

Manchester City - Statistics & Current Form
The mood at Manchester City could not be much better right now. The team of coach Pep Guardiola has indeed the opportunity to realize the perfect season. The English Community Shield and the League Cup have already won the "Citizens"; In the FA Cup (quarter-finals) and in the Premier League (currently league leaders), the chances are also very good. Nonetheless, it is certain that some players would be willing to give up one or the other national title in order to be able to raise the handle of the UEFA Champions League for the first time. Also in the premier class, the reigning English champion now hopes for the very first title in club history.

Although there is still a long way to go until the final on June 1st at the Wanda Metropolitano Stadium in Madrid, nobody really doubts the great quality of the light blue and white people. However, the outlook was already rosy over the past few seasons, when ManCity finally failed to live up to its own expectations. As already mentioned, the English only survived the round of 16 in two of the past five years.

Also significant is the fact that the Guardiola team won only one of the five home games in the round of the last 16 in this period. Even the 5: 3 in front of home backdrop against AS Monaco in the season 2016/2017 was not enough to progress. From a statistical point of view, the signs for the return match are Manchester City vs. Schalke and the corresponding prognosis are therefore by no means as clear as the bookmakers' prices suggest.

Logically, the (historical) numbers are but a maximum of half the truth, because by no means should be neglected that Sergio Aguero and Co. last presented in great shape and, after the penalty shoot-in the League Cup Final including eight success games won in a row. In the Premier League, the "Citizens" in ten of the last eleven games left the place as the winner. Among them were home wins against Arsenal FC, Liverpool FC or Chelsea FC, who are much more callous than FC Schalke 04. Due to the clear increase in the form curve compared to the months of December / January, they are in the second leg between Manchester City and Schalke the odds on the favorites set so low because we have virtually no option left, as to look for alternative betting markets.

The balance against German teams can be seen from the point of view of the English champion. From the past eight direct duels with Bundesliga teams ManCity celebrated seven victories and shared once the points. In front of their own fans in Etihad Stadium kept the Guardiola protégés in all four encounters the upper hand. Nevertheless, the total yield of only six successes from the last twelve home games in the European Cup leaves questions unanswered. On the Tuesday night, are the light blue and white guys actually scrapping for the first time in their own club history, even though the first leg was made victorious abroad? Otamendi must be blocked after his red card in the first leg. De Bruyne, Fernandinho, Mendy and Claudio Bravo are injured.

Jochen Schneider was presented as the new sports director and thus successor to Christian Heidel at FC Schalke 04 last week. Eight days later, the ex-Leipzig is already facing the first allegations. Reason is his statement after the 2-4 defeat that he has seen a turnaround in performance. Admittedly, the Royal Blues in Bremen presented much better than in the previous week, but an even worse appearance than at home 0: 4 against Fortuna Dusseldorf would not have been possible anyway. Moreover, it may seem doubtful when a decision-maker of the reigning German vice-champion speaks of a step in the right direction, although their own team conceded four goals in just the second time in a row and had to take another setback in the fight for relegation. Trainer legend Peter Neururer even went so far as to say that Jochen Schneider made himself vulnerable to these words and did not recognize the seriousness of the situation. Although Christmas is nine months in the future, the tree in Gelsenkirchen is burning brightly! That this fire just on Tuesday night in the premier class expires, seems almost impossible.

From the past nine competitive games, the Ruhrpott club could only keep the upper hand in the DFB Cup knockout round against Dusseldorf. There were also two draws as well as six, some significant, defeats. But the fact that the Royal Blues has always swallowed at least three goals in their recent four meetings and had to accept a whopping 14 goals in total, proves the current uncertainty around the Veltins Arena. In order to make a positive prognosis for the Underdog from the Bundesliga in the second round playoff Manchester City against Schalke, it therefore requires the typical "pink club sunglasses".

The last away win of a Gelsenkirchen team in the knockout round of the Champions League, some fans will like to remember. 2014/2015, the Ruhrpottler sat down at the Estadio Santiago de Bernabeu 4: 3 at Real Madrid, but retired due to a 0-2 home defeat in the first leg yet. The same result would be enough on Tuesday for a sensational progress. The fact that the Schalke have won none of the past six appearances on the island (two draws, four defeats) complicates the venture in addition, although the record of just three bankruptcies in the last 15 European matches in foreign countries at least somewhat obsessive optimism. Schöpf, Mascarell and Caligiuri must fit injured. Players like Sane, Rudy, Harit, Mendyl, Uth or Konoplyanka were recently denied the necessary mentality, so they will probably not be used in Manchester (from the beginning).

Manchester City v Schalke Germany Tipp & Prognosis - 12.03.2019
Before the match between Manchester City and Schalke, bookmakers' odds imply a huge favorite role for the English champion. The reasons for this are obvious, because after all, it gets the current leader of the Premier League with the table-14. the Bundesliga. Manchester City last celebrated eight straight wins in a row, while the Royal Blues managed to win only one of their most recent nine matches in all competitions. Moreover, the fact that individual quality, experience at the highest international level and self-confidence clearly speaks in favor of the "Citizens" is not even open to discussion.

In this respect, Manchester City vs. Vancouver should be seen as a match. Schalke's priority is to pay the tip on the Guardiola team. Due to the extremely low prices for a simple home win or a handicap victory (-1), however, these bets have too low a value to offer, which is why we have opted for an unusual at first glance recommendation. We think that the hosts will dominate the game from the very first second and shift into the S04 half of the game. This superiority in connection with the recent weak defense of the Bundesliga could have the consequence that a penalty is whistled for the home side. Also in the first leg, which ended 3: 2 for the Gelsenkirchener, the home team got two penalties and turned both. We therefore prefer Manchester City and Schalke to the idea that ManCity will receive a penalty in normal time and will also meet. Our use of four units could more than quadruple if successful.
On Tuesday, the second wave of the second leg of the second round of the premier class awaits us. For the Knappen from Gelsenkirchen go to the Citizens to Manchester City and for Royal Blue is, after the desolate last weeks, again a game of fate on the program. Domenico Tedesco is still sitting on the coaching bench at the Schalke, but the air for the 33-year-old has become more than short on the last matchdays and one wonders if he has gambled away his credit even with the new board. Both after the duel against Fortuna, as well as after the Bremen game wobbled his chair - but he was again each expressed the confidence. Maybe also to bring with a change of coach before the important Champions League game not unnecessary unrest in the team.

How much patience but the board and especially the fans still muster is unclear. After all, the Ultras took after the Fortuna game Stambouli the bandage of Ultras. Keeper Ferryman got this bandage at the start of the season as a sign of Ultras support. This loan is already used up. With Tedesco it burns on all ends and it's hard to calm all sides quickly. Now the struggling miners must drive in the second leg to leaders Manchester City. Because of the 2: 3 defeat from the first leg is now an enormously difficult task on the shaken Schalke. By reaching the quarter-finals Tedesco would succeed but a great miracle and he could at least short-term out of the run. Whether he succeeds in the big surprise or continues to get bogged down and he even deeper into the downward spiral, decides on Tuesday, the 12.03.2019, at 21:00 clock in Manchester.Manchester City - FC Schalke 04

In the Premier League, City finally managed to pass the Reds of Jürgen Klopp two games ago during the exciting championship fight. Currently they are one point ahead of Liverpool FC on the table. From the last six games they have the maximum number of 18 points and are also currently on a strong course. With the EFL Cup won against Chelsea, Pep Guardiola has already secured the first title of the season - but City wants more and a victory in the second leg actually formality.

The miners are suffering from defeat to defeat. After the sad low point against the Fortuna, where they picked up a 4: 4 swatter in front of their home crowd, many saw Tedesco already fired. But the newly appointed board strengthened him for the time being on a new back. In the last game against SV Werder Bremen, however, the miners claimed their 14th defeat of the season. After all, the Schalke worked in the duel freed and especially the first half made hopes, yet the turnaround went again in the pants. How long should the Schalke tragedy continue? Making a turnaround against the city would be a clear sign - however, it is very optimistic to think that they could really hold their own against the Sheikh club. After all, they have been without victory in the Bundesliga for seven games, of which five were defeats. With 23 points in the account, the relegation places in the league are their biggest opponent.

Of the four previous duels the S04er could win only one game. City won three times. At the gates also the British have the better yield, with 10: 4 hits. The first leg was, despite the general desolate performance of Schalke, quite scarce and royal blue acted for long stretches on equal terms. They could not defend the 2-1 lead against the Citizens. Leroy Sané headed in with a powerful free-kick and a 85th-minute strike, and Sterling made it perfect for City in the 90th minute. Pep can now, with three away goals in the back, relaxed go to Gelsenkirchen. Schalke were not cold enough again to save the lead over time, especially since they were still on the pitch with a man from the 68th minute.
Betting Picks Matches: Manchester City - FC Schalke 04
Even without a 3-2 victory in the first leg, City, in the face of the current Schalke performance, would have the much better cards in the second leg. But since the first leg went to the Citizens, only the next disappointment awaits on Royal Blue. We would all wish for a sensation, but the current performance is just too different. Despite the slight avoidable increase in performance against the Bremer, it will not be enough for well-rehearsed Citizens. Tedesco is heading for his next field of rubble, which can cost him his head for good. Since most bookmakers also rate Manchester City as a big favorite, you only get a weak 1.14 ratio for a city win.

MANCHESTER CITY
English Grand managed to achieve the minimum win in the game on the road (3: 2), so that the Germans had virtually no chance to reach the next leg of the Champions League. As part of the English Premier League show "citizens" the highest football level and fight with Liverpool for the championship title. Under the leadership of the already legendary team, Josep Guardiola City has earned the reputation of a team with the most dangerous attack in English football and is fully committed to the European football arena. In the first confrontation with Gelsenkirchen there was a clear underestimation of the British, but in the second game we do not expect such mistakes from the "citizens".

The composition of Manchester is rightly considered one of the best in world football, but here Guardiola has some staffing difficulties. So many talk about the weakness of the position of the left-back, in which the Spanish coach increasingly uses Zinchenko. But most of the coaches in the world would be happy to hear about Guardiola's problems and worries as he has such brilliant footballers as De Bruyne, Aguero, Sané, David Silva and many others.

The German club tried their best to create problems for the city in the first game, but the classes of these teams are too different. For the Tedesco Stations it is a great success to win the round of 16 of the Champions League. Sure, if the lot to Schalke would be cheaper, the German club could claim to reach the quarter-finals. In addition, Schalke makes a clear bet on the Champions League, because in the national championship, the team is doing very badly - the 14th line in the standings and the defeat in the last round of Werder (4: 2).
Domenico Tedesco does not have the strongest human resources available, and Schalke does not want to keep all his leaders in the lineup. The modern leaders of this team can be safely attributed to Kalijuri, Bentaleb, Fermann, Nastasich and Makenia.
