Liverpool - Manchester City betting tips and odds

Liverpool will have to put on their best performance to record a home win against Manchester City. The price of 3.10 indicates a difficult battle and that’s exactly what we expect to see in this match.

The Citizens will need to bring their top form if they want 3 points from this matchup – and they do. The Reds are not easy pickings, although the visitors are widely seen as close favourites.

As if the first 45 minutes of The Reds’s last match against Brighton & Hove Albion were not disappointing enough, the second period saw their rivals break the deadlock and run away with a bag filled with three points in a 0:1 loss.

Last round saw The Citizens take the lead in the first half against Burnley and maintain the upper hand up until that final whistle. The matchup was highly favourable, of course, but they might be able to keep that same momentum going against The Reds.

The Reds are on a bit of a streak when it comes to scoring. With more than 6 over their last 3 matches, fans are feeling fairly confident in their goal-scoring ability. Likewise, bookmakers online are fairly confident the Sunday match will yield Over 4.5 goals.

We’ve seen some impressive offensive performances from The Citizens in the past few weeks. Their latest 3 league outings were marked by more than 5 goals scored, which means this match is likely to confirm markets like BTTS and Over 5 Goals.

Liverpool are on the track to a Champions League qualification with their current table placement, but the season is still in its early stages. Coming out on top this Sunday will be a difficult task in its own right, so the future is uncertain.

City have pulled ahead to the top table position in the first half of the season. Their road to the title is far from secure, though. A lot of matches are yet to be played, so a win at The RedsS would do nicely for breathing room.

Despite being favourites, The Citizens couldn’t manage to secure a victory the last time they played against Liverpool. This gives the hosts some precedent when it comes to beating the odds, but it’s not a strong case.

Both teams will have to play with an above-average number of injures. Virgil van Dijk, Joe Gomez, Joël Matip, Naby Keïta, Sadio Mané are unavailable for the hosts. Conversely, Sergio Agüero, Scott Carson, Nathan Aké, Cole Palmer will not be able to play on the visiting side. The odds still favour City, though.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.50 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
