Why Bet on Manchester City?
Despite winning another Premier League title, it was not a great season for Manchester City. They won the league, suffering until the last day after a battle with Arsenal, a club they lost to in the Community Shield. Meanwhile, in the FA Cup, they also lost the final against Manchester United, and in the EFL Cup, they reached the third round, losing to Newcastle.
On the other hand, at the international level, they fell in the quarterfinals of the Champions League against Real Madrid, so they could not defend the crown. They did win the title in the Club World Cup.
For this season they only signed Savinho, but they saw the return of two good players who were on loan: Joao Cancelo and Yan Couto. The Portuguese fullback wants to stay at Barcelona but the Spanish club’s economy has been a problem, while the two Brazilians, who had a great season at Girona, will look to make a place for themselves at the Citizens. Savinho will stay, while Couto’s future is still uncertain and Borussia Dortmund is bidding for him.
On the soccer scene, they have just lost 4-3 to Celtic, in a game where Pep Guardiola tested 20 players. The goals were scored by Norwegians Oscar Bobb and Erling Haaland, in addition to Argentinean Maximo Perrone (21 years old), another of those who returned from his loan spell at Las Palmas and hopes to earn the chance to stay at Manchester City during this preseason.
It should be remembered that several players who were in the Copa América and Euro, or some like Julián Álvarez who is in the Olympic Games, have not reported for training.
Why Bet on Milan?
For its part, Milan has just finished runner-up in Italy, but that’s just an understatement, as there was a 19-point difference with the first, Inter, which had no rivals this season in Italy. For the Rossoneri to improve, the board decided to make a change from the head, and that is why there is a new coach.
The Portuguese Paulo Fonseca arrives after his time at Lille in France, where he achieved fifth and fourth place in Ligue 1, in addition to his previous time at Roma, so he knows what Serie A is like. Stefano Pioli leaves the club with a league title.
In terms of transfers, the only one completed is the arrival of Alvaro Morata, who will replace Olivier Giroud who left for MLS. Morata comes from scoring 15 goals last season in LaLiga with Atletico Madrid and was already Serie A champion with Juventus.
There are no other major additions or departures at the club, but the arrival of more players is expected to raise the level of last year and be able to compete with Inter.
In their first match, still with many absentees due to vacations after Copa America and Euro, they drew 1-1 in Austria with Rapid Wien. Alessandro Florenzi scored the goal after an assist from Daniel Maldini, Paolo’s son, who returns from his loan spell in Monza with the desire to earn his place.
Final Betting Analysis: Manchester City vs. Milan
The last time they met was in another friendly match in 2014 and Manchester City won 5-1.
The numbers at Gambyl Exchange have Manchester City as the favorite. Their Moneyline shows 1.57, Milan has 5.25, and the draw is at 4.6.
A friendly duel between two important teams in Europe that always must win and be champions. However, at this stage of the preseason, they still do not have all their players and do many tests, so we believe it will be a draw.
Go for a draw. If you bet $100 at 4.6, you will gain $360 for a total payout of $460.
