Slovan Bratislava will take on Manchester City in a Champions League group stage match on Wednesday at the Tehelne Pole Stadium in Bratislava, Slovakia.
The hosts will be eager to put on a better show than what they managed in their previous Champions League outing, where they suffered a 5-1 loss against Celtic. They come into the match on the back of a 4-2 win over Michalovce in the domestic league.
