Manchester City v West Brom Betting Tips
City head back to domestic duty after playing out a 2-2 draw with PSG in the UEFA champions League quarter final first leg on Wednesday evening. It was a mixed performance where they weren’t too bad getting forward but they looked amateurish at times at the back. However, they face a West Brom side on Saturday who they have had a lot of success against in recent times. Manchester City have been struggling a bit for consistency in the Premier League but will be looking to build to a strong finish after beating Bournemouth 4-0 last weekend. They have to fight now because there are no guarantees yet that they are going to finish in the top four, thanks to pressure from Manchester United and West Ham in that regard. Manchester City will be expecting three points from this one after having won their last eight in a row against the Baggies.
This was a fixture on the opening day of the season when City went to the Hawthorns and took a 3-0 win. They have actually scored exactly three goals in each of their last five games against West Brom and you can take a shot at a Man City 3-0 correct score punt for a price of 15/2 with online betting site Betfred in this one. It is worth going over 2.5 goals therefore given the track record in recent meetings between these two and that is a 7/10. Sergio Aguero is trading at a price of 4/7 in the anytime goalscorer market, with the influential Kevin de Bruyne, who scored against PSG in the week at 6/5. David Silva may be worth a poke in the game as well as the Spaniard has also scored in each of City’s last three games against the Baggies, netting four in five against them. City have improved to just one goal conceded in their last four top flight fixtures.
The Baggies have recorded seven 1-0 victories, which is a league-high jointly with leaders Leicester City. The Baggies aren’t as lofty as the Foxes obviously and in seven other matches this season, they have failed to get a single shot on target. However, West Brom have been going along solidly enough lately with just the one defeat in their last six league matches (W3 D2 L1) but they have struggled to put wins on the board away from home. The Baggies have won only one of their last ten games away from the Hawthorns in the top flight and with their struggles against city, this looks to be a tough game for them. West Brom have lost 11 of the last twelve meetings with Manchester City since last beating them back in 2008. Salomon Rondo is a 3/1 anytime goalscorer option for them in the game, but the Baggies have managed to score just the one goal in their last four visits to City.

Manchester City v West Brom Predictions
If you are looking at the recent head to head record between these two then it should be a comfortable afternoon for the Citizens to be honest, despite having played in the week.
