We are starting the 35th matchday of the Premier League, and Manchester City is keeping a close lead after taking first place from Arsenal, who had the lead almost since the beginning.
We have only a few matchdays left and the teams are making everything they can to get the most points at the end of the regular season, which makes each clash even more interesting.
This time, we will have a duel between teams at opposite ends of the table, as Manchester City seeking a new trophy faces a desperate Leeds.
When:
Saturday, May 6th at 8:00 am ET at Etihad Stadium
Moneyline odds:
Manchester City -625
Leeds United +1375
Draw:
+720
Where Can I Watch it?
Why Bet on Manchester City?
Manchester City is coming from 9 straight victories as the leader in the scoreboard, carrying a one-point lead in the Premier League, and a total of 25 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses.
The Citizens eased past West Ham United by a 3-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend. The performance in this game and the previous one showed some tiredness from a squad that also suffered rotation. Pep Guardiola is a manager who prefers to make changes at the starting eleven, not midmatch. In this sense, is possible we could see some new names in the sheet tomorrow. With Real Madrid on the horizon, names like Phillips, Gomez, Laporte, and Lewis should not be discarded.
However, we are yet to see how much can this help Leeds, as the difference in squad deep is remarkable.
Why Bet on Leeds United?
Leeds United are currently in the 17th spot and they are hanging on the edge of the relegation zone, as they have 8 wins, 6 draws, and 20 losses so far; facing such a strong opponent, they are right now between a rock and a hard place.
The away side slumped to a 4-1 defeat at the hands of Bournemouth last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture. Javi Gracia’s spell was, indeed, disgraceful, and is a miracle the team is not in the relegation zone. The defense is in a low mood, and the Lilliwhites pressed the panic button and brought Sam Allardyce.
“Big Sam” has a behemothic challenge at the end of the season, as this one is the first in a row of hard matchups. With 4 losses in their last 5 matches, they are not coming in with the best momentum.
Final Betting Analysis: Manchester City vs. Leeds United
Manchester City have an excellent squad at their disposal and will be intent on extending their lead at the top of the league table. Erling Haaland has enjoyed a record-breaking season so far and will look to add to his goal tally in this fixture.
Leeds United have struggled this season and cannot afford another debacle this weekend.
Saturday’s result could have huge implications at both ends of the table. The Lilliwhites are running out of games to save themselves and now head to the Etihad as huge underdogs. Their rival is an in-form Citizen’ side who are seeking to retain the Premier League title.
Bolstering a woeful Leeds backline on such short notice, and against the most potent attack in world soccer, is a difficult task even for Allardyce. We expect Manchester City to eventually emerge as comfortable winners, even if they experience periods of frustration as they did in the first half of the West Ham game.
Go for a Manchester City win at -625. If you bet $100 at such odds you could get $16 for a total payout of $116.
