Europa League
2010-12-01 - Manchester City vs Red Bull Salzburg
A Sports Betting Pick by Cruiser
Analysis:Manchester City goes into this match needing to pick up a win after their last match ended in dissappointment when they suffered a defeat when they welcome the visit of Red Bull Salzburg.
In their last match City was beat 3-1 away from home to Lech Poznan and that equalled their worst away defeat in the club's competition. As it is now they are on second place after four matches and are level on points with Lech Pozanan with 7 points.
However, City can still qualify from their group if Juventus suffer defeat against Poznan and they get their win. But for the visitors, unless they get a win here then that will see Huub Stevens' Salzburg eliminated as they sit bottom of the group and without a win in six European matches.
When these two sides faced each other on the opening day, City won the match with David Silva and Jo scoring the goals to earn a first win over Austrian opponents.
As for the team news, Yaya Toure returns to the side after the midfielder missed Saturday's Premier League draw against Stoke with a migraine. Emmanuel Adebayor, who has been linked with a move out of the side, is back in the side after a groin operation.
The good news for the home side is that Argentine defender Pablo Zabaleta, suspended for the game at Stoke, can play in European competition.
Meanwhile for the visitors, Salzburg right-back Christian Schwegler is out of the side until 2011 after injuring his thigh during training.
Goals have been hard to come by for them as Dusan Svento has scored their only goal at this stage of the competition.
Take Salzburg and accept the handicap of 2 balls here.
