Burnley v Manchester City Betting Preview – Premier League 26th November
The Citizens will want to drive home another away win in the Premier League when they head off to face Burnley on Saturday lunchtime. City took a win at Crystal Palace last weekend, but that has only been two wins for them in their last six league outings. They have to start nailing better consistency than that. Burnley have put in decent returns at Turf Moor this season and they beat Manchester City the last time they hosted them in the Premier League. Can the Clarets pull off another upset against the Citizens or will City win back to back games for the first time since September in the league?

Burnley v Manchester City Betting Tips
Burnley have done a pretty solid job of things at home in the Premier League this season. The Clarets have produced a W4 D1 L2 record so far and have triumphed in three of their last four there. So some positive form from them and that is what is propping them up because they have been extremely poor away from home. The question is, can they give the Citizens a tough afternoon at Turf Moor on Saturday? They did the last time they played host to them because they ran out 1-0 winners against the odds. That was back in March 2015. That was a huge result for them but it has has been their only win in their last 11 league games against Manchester City (D5 L5). But with their home form being positive, can they stick in there and grind out another shock? 91% of their league goals this season have all been at home (10/11).
You can take a price of 19/20 with bookmaker Bet Victor on both teams to score in the match. Running with some scoring form against them is George Boyd who has netted in each of his last two Premier League games against the Citizens. He is a price of 7/1 in the anytime goalscorer market for this latest clash and they have Andre Grey as their shortest priced option in the goalscorer market at 11/4. So of their four previous Premier League games against Manchester City, Burnley have produced a surprising W1 D2 L1 record. Three of the last four between them have gone over 2.5 goals and that is a quote of 1/2 at Bet Victor to happen again in this one. The Burnley defence is a worry though as they allowed their opponents more shots on target than they have attempted themselves this season (28 attempted, 82 conceded).
The Citizens haven’t been in the greatest winning form lately having posted a W2 D3 l1 record across their last six in the top flight. But their away form is still standing up having won their last two out on the road, taking wins at West Brom and Crystal Palace. So Pep Guardiola’s men have the away form running at the moment and in five of their six away games this season they have scored at least two goals. Manchester City have scored 56% of their goals away from home this season. The Citizens have only lost one of their last 14 games across all competitions against Burnley now, suffering just the one loss in that sequence. Across that sequence of 14 games against the Clarets, Manchester City have averaged 2.6 goals per game as well. A Manchester City 2-0 correct score is trading at 6/1 with Bet Victor, the shortest priced option in the market.
Sergio Aguero is trading at a price of 8/15 in the anytime goalscorer market for this one. Burnley is actually just one of two Premier League opponents that Sergio Aguero has failed to score against in his career. He has only faced the Clarets once before though and the Argentinean has 31 goals in his last 33 Premier League appearances. City’s other main options like Nolito and De Bruyne at even money. There’s no question about City’s threat and potential output going forward and they have netted eleven goals in their last four Premier League games against the Clarets. Manchester City have gone W5 D0 L1 out on the road so far this season and they will be firm favourites to pick up the three points. It may not be the easiest of afternoons for them though.

Burnley v Manchester City Predictions
Look for a goal at both ends here as City have one clean sheet in their last seven top flight games. They aren’t reliable at the back and even though the Clarets are a low scoring bunch, it’s worth backing them to sneak something onto the scoreboard. Look for a both teams to score wager with City coming out on top in the game. Well worth having a punt on Man City/Man City half time/full time too, as four of their last seven league goals have been in the first half of matches.
