Manchester City Burnley betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

This will be a match between two teams that are having different campaigns so far in the competition. As Manchester City is still fighting for second place, with one of the best defenses and attacks in the league, Burnely is in the middle of the table, trying to get in the top 10, showing a weak attack. There is a huge quality difference between these teams, as Manchester CIty has a lot of World Class players and have a very superior squad. So, also due to the fact that they are at home, the most probable scenario for this match will be an easy win for Manchester, so we should back more goals than usual.
