PREVIEW & PREDICTION – Burnley vs Manchester City 3/02/2018

Saturday, at 12:30, Manchester City plays on Burnley’s ground in the 26th Premier League. The season is nearing the end, and City is almost sure of the title, being on the first place with only one defeat in 25 matches (goal 73-18). Burnley is in 7th place and has escaped the relegation, with a 20-22 goal.

Burnley seems to be in a free fall and has not won an 8-match match! With 4 failures and a draw in the last 5 rounds, Sean Dyche’s band has lost confidence and the quality difference to City will be hard to cancel. By comparison, “citizens” have four consecutive successes (after Liverpool’s failure) and will have the initiative from the start. The last 3 matches of Burnley did not have more than two goals, so we will keep on such bets on “Turf Moor”.

There are big problems with host injuries that are not based on Brady, Marney, Walters, Wood, Defour and Tarkovski, while City comes without Jesus and Sane. That leaves Aguero in the lead and his share for a goal scored well! It will be a game in which the technique and the speed of the players will finally make the difference on the table.

Guardiola is a pragmatic manager and he does not intend to postpone the title, especially as City has proposed great things in the Champions League. A victory for the difference is the most likely result, but the odds of the guests bring little value to the gap market. That’s why we’ve targeted the scorer Aguero!


PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.65
