Manchester City - Everton betting tips and odds

This match itself isn’t likely to be much of a contest. The hosts are an overwhelmingly stronger team, and most bookmakers and experts agree that Everton don’t stand much of a chance.

Everton are massive underdogs and will be extremely lucky to avoid complete annihilation at the hands of Manchester City.

Most Premier League betting predictions saw their most recent victory coming. The bookies priced them winning at 13.00, and they were already ahead at halftime. Ultimately, they earned 3 points and recorded a decisive 1:3 victory.

Despite the home-field advantage, Everton had little reason to feel optimistic about their most recent matchup with Wolverhampton Wanderers. The betting odds were clearly against them, and they failed to pick up any momentum in the first half. The second half predictable ended with a 1:2 away win.

The hosts have been careful not to let their goalscoring stats slip. They’ve scored more than 5 times during the last 3 matches, indicating consistent offensive results.

Results and standings notwithstanding, The Toffees have run into some defensive issues in this stretch of the Premier League. In the past 3 matches, they allowed more than 5 goals to their opponents, which may be cause for concern for their supporters.

City have built up a lot of confidence with a successful half of the season behind them. That said, there’s plenty of time to lose the number 2nd spot they secured so far. They should be able to take this game, though, and inch themselves closer to the leading spot.

The Toffees are not too far from the relegation zone as we enter round 18, and they’ll have to be careful not to dip below the line. There’s definitely cause for concern among their supporters, though, considering how unfavourable this matchup in Etihad Stadium is.

Looking back at the head-to-head history of this matchup, it’s understandable why most bookmakers online decided to price a home win at 1.15. They soundly defeated The Toffees last season, and it’s reasonable to expect another triumph.

If you’re feeling confident, a Draw/Home wager in the Half Time/Full Time market is the way to go. It’s a fairly risky move, but likely the best way to get some value out of the match this Saturday.
