While pre-season matches typically feature rotated sides, Manchester City‘s strong squad depth means that a competitive lineup is expected. Players like Jason McAtee and Rico Lewis may also get extended playing time. The projected starting lineup for City includes Ortega (GK), Walker, Ake, Stones, Lewis, Kovacic, Phillips, Palmer, McAtee, Alvarez, and Grealish.
Atletico Madrid will aim to bounce back after a surprise 3-2 defeat to a K-League All-Stars team. Their projected starting lineup features Grbic (GK), Azpilicueta, Savic, Hermoso, Kostis, de Paul, Saul, Lemar, Griezmann, Morata, and Galan.
Pre-season games are often unpredictable and may not accurately reflect a team’s performance in competitive matches. While there is a possibility of a surprise defeat for Manchester City, their strong squad and depth in all areas of the pitch may give them an edge over Atletico Madrid. The prediction for the match is a 2-1 victory for Manchester City.
