Manchester City will be looking to add to Slovan's Champions League woes as the former champions look to improve from the goalless draw against Inter Milan

Slovan Bratislava's first foray into the Champions League group stage was nothing short of a nightmare, and the road ahead looks no less daunting as they prepare to host the star-studded Manchester City.

Their opening match was a harsh awakening, with a 5-1 drubbing at the hands of Celtic in Glasgow. Brendan Rodgers' squad displayed sheer dominance, leaving Vladimir Weiss' men floundering in the hostile atmosphere of Parkhead.

The Slovakian side struggled to cope with Celtic's relentless pace and attacking prowess, their defence torn apart by the Scottish champions' swift forwards. This baptism by fire has set the stage for what could be an even more challenging encounter against Manchester City.

Pep Guardiola's team, often touted as one of Europe's finest, is eager to bounce back after a series of underwhelming performances. Their Champions League campaign began with a disappointing 0-0 draw at home against Inter Milan, followed by goalless draws against Arsenal and Newcastle in domestic play.

Key injuries to pivotal players like Rodri and Kevin De Bruyne have certainly hampered City's form. However, Guardiola's squad remains packed with talent and firepower. If they find their rhythm, Slovan Bratislava could be in for a torrid time on the pitch.
