Schalke will host Manchester City in the first leg, in the last 16 of Champions league. This match will take place at the Veltins stadium. Shake for this time must be willing to carry the status of Underdogs despite playing on his own home.

Three participation in Liga champions, always failed when entering the round of 16. Schalke certainly needs a hard struggle if he wants to decide on a negative event that happened for 3 consecutive periods and progress to the quarter-finals. Defeating Manchester City in Germany is the first round to get there. But is Schalke able to do it?

On almost all sides even on paper, Schalke still loses in quality. If in front of Manchester City, the giant 'England, with a star-studded cliff and led by Pep Guardiola, I also seem to be less favored.

Schalke are group runners-up below Porto. The 11 points they collected are a draw from home games. Win twice after defeating Galatasaray 2-0, Lokomotiv Moscow 1-0 and draw held by Porto 1-1.

Nabil Bentaleb is a topscorer player currently owned by Schalke. He should be wary of Manchester City players. He has scored 6 goals for Schalke in all competitions.

The strength of the city is certainly no doubt. The quality of the city is superior to Schalke. So far, City have recorded that there are five players who have contributed goals to double digits in all competitions.

The deadly striker is Sergio Aguero with 23 goals, Gabriel Jesus 16 goals, Raheem Sterling 14, Leroy Sane 12 goals and Riyad Mahrez 10 goals. Of the five top scorer names for Manchester City, Mane may be familiar to Schalke players.

Sane had played Schalke in 2014 until 2016 before choosing to join Manchester City. But unfortunately, there is news that blows that Pep Guardiola will not lower Sane as a starter.

So far, Manchester City are unbeaten in their three away games and their last home. Wins away at Hoffenheim 2-1, 3-0 vs Shakhtar, and drew 1-1 when meeting Lyon.

In the group phase yesterday, City have met German clubs, Hoffenheim admitted with a final score of 2-1, both away and home matches. Sergio Aguero and David Silva scored twice in Germany, while Sane scored two goals from Hoffenheim at the Etihad.
