Manchester City - Everton predictions

Kickoff starts at 13:30 on 26/12/2024 played @ Etihad Stadium refereed by Simon Hooper

This is a fairly one-sided matchup in the hosts’ favour. While there may be a tiny chance of a draw or even an upset, we wouldn’t count on it. Manchester City winning is by far the most likely outcome.

The situation is crystal clear from the current perspective. Given the strength of the home team and the fact Everton are given 9.00 betting odds to win, a conclusion is not difficult to reach. Anything but a home win would be an incredible surprise.

Fans of The Sky Blues are hoping they will manage to make use of the home-field advantage this time. In the previous round against Aston Villa , they offered quite a poor showing as visitors – though the 2:1 defeat was by no means crushing.

Most bookies were expecting the away team’s previous match to be completely one-sided, but it ended with a 0:0 draw. They went toe to toe with Chelsea throughout the game’s runtime, which is not something most Premier League betting tips saw coming.

A high concessions rate is not a good look to have, and The Sky Blues have been on a downward spiral when it comes to their defensive performance. With 5 goals conceded over their past 3 games, there’s definite room for improvement.

Top bookmakers online are offering short odds on Everton winning to Nill because they haven’t conceded a single goal for the past 3 matches.

City will have to make use of this opportunity if they want to climb the table up from their current spot at number 7th. There is still time left, but the clock is already ticking.

Placed at 15th in the standings, Everton could stand to put some more distance between them and the relegation zone. With a good chunk of the season still ahead of them, there’s more than enough time left to climb the table. That said, the odds are against them in this matchup, so even a single point would be more than welcome.

If Manchester City managed to keep the form they had last season, this match won’t be a big problem for them. They defeated The Toffees more than once that year, and every instance was a decisive result with a goal difference of over 2.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Thursday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.53 if you use the Betway sportsbook.
