Liverpool vs Man City Betting
Smart money looks to be on a draw here. City were last season’s highest away goal scorers but Liverpool had the best home defence in the league. This could lead to a bit of a stalemate at Anfield and produce a draw. 12/5 (3.40) with Bwin looks good odds for this.
Liverpool’s defensive shrewdness last time out was one of few positives for The Reds. City did struggle on the road at times with famous incidents like the 1-0 defeat to Sunderland. This could lead to a low scoring game come Sunday.
Under 2.5 goals is available at 4/5 (1.80) with William Hill and with City hardly shining last weekend and Liverpool needing to redeem themselves this could be a nervy affair. Under 2.5 consequently looks like a really good bet with a thriller difficult to foresee on Sunday.
Handicap bets could provide a lot of value at Anfield. Liverpool a +1 handicap is available at 31/50 (1.62) on bwin. Liverpool could easily nick this but it could also be a draw so the handicap gives lots of options so looks a smart bet.
Last season no team scored a higher percentage of their goals in the second half and conceded a higher percentage of their goals in the second half than City. William Hill are offering the second half to have the most goals at 10/11 (1.91). With City being prolific but also defensively poor in the second half this is a smart bet. The second half does seem much more likely to have the majority of the goals.
Liverpool vs Man City Predictions
This game will be a close one and probably won’t be a classic. For me it will go right to the wire and a draw seems the most likely result.
