Manchester City Vs Leicester H2H
- Manchester City won the last five matches in England Premier League and they won 12 home games at Etihad Stadium.
- Leicester City did not win any of their last five matches in the Premier League and they won four away games.
- Manchester City won 14 times in their past 23 meetings with Leicester City.
- Manchester City will most definitely dominate Leicester City because of their unique playmaking and counter-attacking ability. Coupled with Leicester’s sheer incompetence this season, I wouldn’t be surprised if this match ends with over 3.5 goals.
BTTS Market
While I predict that City will go on a goal-scoring bonanza against Leicester in this extremely easy encounter, I don’t think that Leicester will have a decent chance to score against the Manchester giants, however, they have scored in 4/5 of their previous games so they might just surprise. Looking at their encounter against Arsenal however, shows their true colours when they are placed against a world-class team(a goalless loss).
BTTS Verdict: No
Over/Under Market
Once again, City finds themselves in an “Upstairs Downstairs” matchup, 2nd vs 19th. In their previous match against League 20th Southampton, the match ended with over 4.5 goals. While usually this is a silly bet, I think that the over 3.5 and 4.5 markets are tempting this time around. City have shown how capable they are in the attack with their 7-0 win against RB Leipzig, who are not a bad side at all.
Over/Under Verdict: Over 3.5 A Good Bet
Extra tip: Consider Over 4.5
