Man City vs Burnley betting tips and summary
Man City to win – far the better side, chance reflected in 1/6 odds
Erling Haaland to score – in outstanding form, EPL top-goalscorer so far
Over 3.5 goals in the match – good trend in H2Hs
Eight-time English Premier League champions Manchester City welcome newly-promoted Burnley to the Etihad Stadium on Saturday afternoon.
The hosts have begun this campaign with a respectable – if not spectacular – points haul totalling seven, after two wins, two losses and a draw.
City’s latest match saw Erling Haaland’s opener cancelled out by a stoppage-time equaliser, as Gabriel Martinelli earned his Arsenal side a 1-1 draw at the Emirates Stadium.
Manager Pep Guardiola will hope to see his team get back to winning ways, as they look to extend their unbeaten run to four matches – including a 2-0 victory over Napoli in the Champions League.
Saturday’s visitors have made a satisfactory return to the EPL, following their promotion from the EFL Championship last season.
Their latest draw at home to Nottingham Forest means that manager Scott Parker has seen his side pick up four points from five games, though they have suffered unjust losses in two of their last three matches.
Two injury-time penalties were enough to down the Clarets in their matches against Manchester United and Liverpool, with both matches destined to end in a draw until converted spot-kicks broke Burnley hearts.
They will be keen to cause an upset on Saturday, as they seek their first win at the Etihad Stadium.
What are the best bets for Man City vs Burnley?
Man City to win
Burnley have shown themselves to be difficult to beat so far this season, though Saturday’s match represents one of the toughest tasks there is for a newly-promoted side.
City have never lost to Burnley at the Etihad Stadium and the bookies have priced them very short to continue that record.
Erling Haaland to score two or more goals
The Norway striker seems to score every time he steps on the pitch, be it for club or country.
Across all competitions, including international duties, Haaland has bagged 13 times (six in the English Premier League, across five matches) since the opening day of the season.
He is also the current top-goalscorer of England’s top flight.
Over 3.5 goals in the match
Burnley have only scored once in the previous nine head-to-head matches between these two teams, so they are seemingly at the mercy of City’s firepower – who are in fine form.
