Two of Europe’s biggest clubs meet in Orlando with Barcelona facing Man City at the Camping World Stadium on July 29. Barcelona are one of the most iconic clubs on the planet, and Manchester City have been one of the most successful over the past decade.
These two gigantic clubs will meet in front of a sold-out stadium, and my Barcelona vs. Man City predictions expect Erling Haaland to give them a show.
Barcelona vs Man City picks and predictions
My best bet:
Erling Haaland to score (-125 at Betano)
My analysis
This is the first preseason game for Barcelona, but it isn’t for Man City, who've already played twice on their American tour — losing 3-2 and 4-3 to Milan and Celtic, respectively.
We’ve not seen a number of key stars for City in preseason, with Kyle Walker, Ruben Dias, Jeremy Doku, Rodri, Bernardo Silva, John Stones, Nathan Ake, Kevin De Bruyne, and Manuel Akanji all missing due to Euro 2024 participation, as well as Julian Alvarez who is currently in Paris playing at the Olympics.
Although City will be starting a number of youngsters, they’ll be playing alongside Erling Haaland. The Norwegian has started both games of the U.S. tour so far and managed to score in both before being substituted.
He’s scored 63 goals in the Premier League since he arrived in Manchester, in addition to 18 in the Champions League. Haaland truly is the best finisher in the world and has shown how lethal he is in front of goal throughout his career.
You can always be confident in a Haaland goal, but against a Barcelona backline who are only in their first preseason game, we should have increased confidence.
Barcelona have a good defense, but they’re short of match fitness, and the speedy Norwegian should be able to take advantage thanks to his sharpness, as well as his supreme talent.

Erling Haaland to score
Both teams to score
Over 3.5 goals
This is of course Barcelona’s first preseason game but for Man City, we’ve seen them play twice in the USA already, with BTTS and Over 3.5 goals landing in both games.
With each side sending out weakened lineups and neither truly taking it seriously, this should be a high-scoring game with both Barcelona and City finding the back of the net.
