Will the Sky Blues extend their home winning streak?
During the week, Manchester City suffered an unexpected and disappointing 2-0 home defeat to Bayer 04 Leverkusen in the UEFA Champions League, despite making several changes to their lineup. In the Premier League, however, the Sky Blues have won their last five home games with a goal difference of 16-2, scoring at least two goals in each of those matches.
Accordingly, the tip for Manchester City against Leeds is that the Citizens can also win this home game, especially as the visitors from West Yorkshire have lost five of their last six Premier League games (one win) and conceded at least two goals in seven of their last eight games.
Guardiola’s team has also won all of its last four Premier League games against LUFC, scoring 16 goals against the Whites. So this match will probably only be about the margin of victory for the home team or what type of bet offers the best value. Considering that the Sky Blues have some ground to make up after two competitive defeats, we recommend betting on Manchester City vs. Leeds that Manchester City will score in both halves and set the course for a home win early on.
Considering that goal machine Erling Haaland spent 65 minutes on the bench in the Champions League against Leverkusen, the exceptional Norwegian player is likely to have a lot of anger in his belly. Accordingly, a very reasonable alternative is to bet that the 25-year-old will score at least one goal against the visitors from West Yorkshire.
Manchester City – Leeds Head-to-head record
Head to head: 49 – 18 – 43
A total of 110 matches have already taken place between the two teams, and the record is relatively even, which is particularly due to the glorious past of Leeds United, which was one of the top clubs in England, especially in the 1960s and 1970s.
Meanwhile, the Sky Blues, who have won all of their last four Premier League games against the Whites with a goal difference of 16:2, have caught up considerably and narrowly lead the head-to-head comparison with 49 wins.
Manchester City – Leeds Tip
The odds from the top betting providers are clearly in favor of Manchester City against Leeds, who have won their last five Premier League home games with a goal difference of 16:2, scoring at least twice in each game.
The Whites will have to be prepared for a tough game, especially as the newly promoted team from West Yorkshire has lost five of its last six league games (one win), has not kept a clean sheet in nine games, and has conceded at least two goals in six of its last seven PL games.
In principle, a handicap bet could also be considered. However, the best value for Manchester City vs. Leeds is the prediction that the Sky Blues will score more than 0.5 goals in both halves.
