Manchester City - Everton betting tips and odds

Everton will have little to hope for against Manchester City. The home charges are bursting with confidence and it would take a small miracle for the away team to take anything from this game.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and The Toffees will be left with slim pickings in this match.

The Citizens suffered a narrow defeat in the last round away despite leading at half-time against Brighton & Hove Albion. No wonder their supporters ended up feeling disappointed knowing their team was a huge favourite to win at 7.50 top bookmakers online offered on them.

The Toffees managed to win their latest home outing against Wolverhampton Wanderers, if only by a hairpin. Most betting predictions expected more from them considering the balance of power was in their favour, though, and a narrow 1:0 is nothing be excited about.

The first step Manchester City need to make to improve is to shore up their defences. With more than 5 goals conceded over the last 3 matches, it seems to be the main aspect of play holding them back.

The previous two Premier League clashes Everton played ended with either one goal on the board or none at all. That doesn’t make for exciting viewing, but it can signal a decent Under 5 Goals opportunity.

The teams will meet after a string of convincing victories for The Citizens. They defeated the away team several times in recent memory. Interestingly, all of them were won with a considerable goal difference, even though some were recorder in competitions other than the Premier League.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Sunday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 1 odds offer a decent return.
