In the first leg tie, Monaco led twice but lost focus in the last 20 minutes to give the game to City. With twenty wins and one loss in twenty-three home matches this season, the French side come into this match with full confidence to win this second leg tie at home, at odds of (2.55) with SportyBet.

Manchester City have lost six away games in all competitions this season but are priced to secure another victory in this tie at (2.55) with SportyBet, just like Monaco.

With two of City's three away games in this season’s competition resulting in draws, another draw is on offer at (3.77). Following the 5-3 win at the Etihad Stadium in the first leg, City coach Pep Guardiola promised to continue with his attacking football in the second leg and this is no surprise.

Manchester City have struggled at the rear this season and if they are going to win matches like this, their best chance is surely through attacking.

Monaco are the top goal scorers in Europe this campaign and will also be going for the goals they need to win this encounter. Over 4.5 goals comes at (2.99) with SportyBet.

Monaco have been superb at home this season and will want to continue with their good form in this tie. The two-goal lead may be a little too much for the French club to overturn but that doesn’t mean they cannot win this game. Monaco to win and both teams to score is on offer at (3.45) with SportyBet.

Meanwhile, the Citizens will be hoping to go far as much as they did last season, where they reached the semi finals.  Pep Guardiola has never lost out in the round of 16 tie in his managerial career, and would be hoping to win his 8th round of 16 tie.

Man City have been unbeaten in close to two months, winning eight of their last ten matches in all competitions and getting their confidence back. With City keeping three clean sheets in a row, against a fast Monaco attack, it's doubtful they can make it four in a row.

But a clean sheet for The Citizens is available on SportyBet at (4.59). Odds of (1.91) is available for over 3.5 goals being scored in another entertaining tie between these two attack-minded teams.

Highly rated youngster Kylian Mbappe, 18, didn't show any nerves in the first leg against City, scoring one of Monaco's three goals.

He is tipped at odds of (2.25) to score another goal in this tie. Reborn Radamel Falcao, who scored one of the goals of the season in the first game is at (1.80) to net in this encounter.

A rejuvenated Sergio Aguero who led City's attack in the first leg to help win the first leg 5-3, is tipped to score once again by SportyBet at (1.75). Raheem Sterling is (3.00) to score anytime in this encounter.
