It has been a slow start to the women's UEFA Champions League for Manchester City Women and they face a difficult trip to the Stadio Brianteo to face Inter Milan Women on Tuesday evening.
Three European draws have left Manchester City Women 10th in the league-phase table, one point and two places behind Inter Milan Women, who were thumped 6-0 by Lyon Women on matchday three.
Despite the slow start in the women's UEFA Champions League, the Citizens are unbeaten this season and they will be feeling optimistic about registering a win in Italy.

Inter Milan Women v Manchester City Women Prediction
Best Bet: Manchester City Women to win and both teams to score @ 7/4
It has not been an easy start to the league phase for City, who came from 2-0 down at Bayern Munich Women to salvage a 2-2 draw on matchday one before again coming from behind to draw 1-1 at home to Real Madrid Women.
A first European win looked to be on the cards when Khadija Shaw scored in the 85th minute against Paris Saint-Germain Women to put the Citizens 1-0 ahead, only for Tara Elimbi Gilbert to equalise three minutes later.
City have responded to that share of the spoils against the French outfit with back-to-back wins in the Women's Super League, beating London City Lionesses 2-1 and West Ham Women 5-0.
Shaw bagged a hat-trick in that victory over the Hammers and she is one of a number of attacking options at head coach Andree Jeglertz's disposal, with Lauren Hemp and Aoba Fujino expected to start in Italy.
City have impressed in attack, scoring 27 goals in the WSL and four times in Europe, but they have kept just two clean sheets this term and they may struggle to keep Inter Milan at bay.
Inter head into this contest having beaten both Lazio Women and AC Milan Women 3-0 and they have scored at least twice in each of their last three home matches.
Two of City's three away wins have seen both teams score and there looks to be a strong chance of this bet landing again.
Alternative Bet: Over 3.5 goals @ 11/10
An attacking contest is anticipated and backing there to be at least four goals looks like a good value play.
Inter's matchday three outing ended in a 6-0 loss to Lyon, and their last two matches have gone close to creeping over the 3.5-goal mark, with 3-0 wins recorded against Lazio and AC.
City showed their attacking prowess in the 5-0 win over West Ham on Saturday, making it the third time in their last six fixtures that there have been four or more goals.
Of the Citizens' 12 games this season, seven have gone over the 3.5-goal mark and it would be no surprise to see that bet land again.
Inter Milan Women v Manchester City Women Bet Builder Tip
Draw/Manchester City Women - half time/full time
Most goals in second half
Over 10 corners
Pays @ 11/1
City have been level at the break in their last two away trips and they may have to be patient against Inter before turning on the style in the second period.
There have been more goals in the second half in five of City's last six matches and in two of Inter's last three fixtures.
With City averaging 6.4 corners per game in the Women's Super League and Inter 7.5 in Serie A Femminile, these two teams can combine for at least 11 on Tuesday.
