Manchester City has just finished a gala performance against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, and already has another important challenge for the national league against Leicester at the Etihad.
Still chasing leaders Arsenal, City can’t even think about drawing or losing a game at home. Letting those points slip would be terrible for the ambitions of coach Pep Guardiola, who still believes it is possible to reach the Premier League title.
Leicester has been without a win for a few weeks and occupies the penultimate position in the Premier League standings. The visiting team will need a complete change to try to face the mighty Etihad.
Check out everything that matters about the Manchester City-Leicester City duel in our review below and our top prediction for the match.
When:
Saturday, April 15th– 12:30 PM ET at the Etihad
Moneyline odds:
Manchester City -625
Leicester City+1400
Draw offs:
+710
Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Manchester City?
City demonstrated, once again, that they can be the best team of the 2023 season. With exciting performances and many goals scored Pep Guardiola’s team has stood out for their offensive power and their ability to destabilize the opposing defense throughout the game.
They come from destroying all opposition in their last five games in all competitions. Having an average of almost 5 goals per match in this period, they destroyed teams like Liverpool and Bayern.
Against Leicester, Manchester City will have a great opportunity to keep pace with Arsenal, as they are expected to win this match without much difficulty. Kevin De Bruyne, Haaland, and Bernardo Silva have been in a special moment and everything they do works out on the pitch.
Even against the strong Bayern Münich, City was able to impose their game, from start to finish, opening a great advantage for the return game. Betting on City in the Premier League is always a great option. Although, their games rarely pay a lot, (at -625 vs. +1400, the odds for this match are almost funny).
Why Bet on Leicester City?
The chances of Leicester achieving a result different from the defeat pass through the feet of Harvey Barnes and James Maddison, who were the athletes who scored the most goals for the team this season. In addition to them, goalkeeper Danny Ward is very likely to have a noon of terror when facing Manchester City’s attackers.
In the penultimate position of the table, Leicester will need to be very competent to avoid a historic defeat. Marking opponents aggressively and staying organized throughout the match could be a good way to avoid embarrassment.
Final Betting Analysis: Manchester City vs. Leicester
Manchester City vs. Leicester was one of the most exciting games of the Premier League in recent years. They gave us classics such as the 1-0 victory of the Citizens with a wonder goal by Kompany that gave them the title, or the 2-5 steamroll that the Foxes applied in 2020. Whatever the case, this Leicester team is almost unrecognizable. We could say they look even worst than the one from their first season in the Prem. Yes, that team that was second to last almost all tournament.
It’s a sad view, this match was becoming some kind of a modern classic, but now we expect a game similar to the one from the first half of the season, with the Foxes sitting deep. However, this time we don’t believe they’ll be as solid, and we expect the Citizens to put at least 3 past them.
We believe in Manchester City’s victory.
If you put $100 into City’s win, you could get $16 back for a total payout of $116.
