Betting on Manchester City
Manchester City comes into this match as the favorites of its group. Playing at home, and with a successful run in the Premier League and the Champions League, Josep Guardiola’s men are ready to hit the ground running in yet another competition, aiming to win the treble at the end of the season.
For this Manchester City vs Burnley clash, it is likely that star player Erling Haaland, who scored five goals in the last Champions League match, will not be in the starting eleven, but reserved as the match progresses. In the last round, Manchester City won by 3-0 and eliminated Bristol City.
It is clear that this team, which is second in the Premiership, is a headache for any opponent. In fact, it has been Burnley’s nightmare for years, since Manchester has beaten that team in the last four FA Cup matches.
Possible Lineup (4-3-3): Stefan Ortega; Rico Lewis, John Stones, Aymeric Laporte, Nathan Ake; Kevin De Bruyne, Kalvin Phillips, Bernardo Silva; Riyad Mahrez, Julian Alvarez, Phil Foden.
Betting on Burnley F.C.
Although the visiting team comes to this Manchester City vs Burnley without having played in the Premier League, it is very likely that it will be one of the participants in next season’s competition, since it remains the firm Championship leader, and is only nine out of 18 points away from promotion to the English Premier League.
Their head coach, Vincent Kompany, has been in charge of keeping this team on top of its game, which has shown itself to be far superior to its rivals for several months now. This duel is special for the coach, who was well known for passionately defending Manchester City’s colors as a player for more than a decade. In the FA Cup Round of 16, his team faced Fleetwood and won by 3-0.
Burnley currently holds an eighteen-game unbeaten streak, and will be hoping to achieve the feat in the upcoming Manchester City vs Burnley, even against the odds.
Possible Lineup (4-2-3-1): Bailey Peacock-Farrell; Connor Roberts, Hjalmar Ekdal, Jordan Beyer, Ian Maatsen; Jack Cork, Josh Cullen; Anass Zaroury, Johann Gudmundsson, Nathan Tella; Ashley Barnes.
JefeBet Prediction
We believe that the home team will be the one taking the victory in this Manchester City vs Burnley. Manchester City is on a nine-game unbeaten streak at home, although having several of its top players sitting out may give Burnley space, who is in a position to surprise its opponents.
In this case, the level and intense pace of competition to which Manchester City is exposed can erase the illusion that carries the visitor. Besides, stars such as De Bruyne, Alvarez, and Foden can put a lot of pressure.
Prediction: Manchester City wins by 2-0.
