Slovan Bratislava’s initiation into the Champions League group stage has been nothing short of a baptism by fire, and the challenges only intensify as they prepare to welcome Manchester City’s galaxy of stars.Their debut match was a sobering experience, suffering a 5-1 thrashing at the hands of Celtic in Glasgow.
Brendan Rodgers’ team showcased their superiority, leaving Vladimir Weiss' squad overwhelmed and struggling in the intimidating atmosphere of Parkhead.
The bookies as well are expecting a one-sided affair as City are the favourites at 1/20 with Betfred while Bratislava are 40/1 huge outsiders to send shockwaves across the European competition and a draw is 14/1 too.
The Slovakian side found it tough to handle Celtic’s unrelenting speed and attacking flair, with their defence left in tatters by the Scottish champions' rapid forwards.
