Betting tip – Manchester City to win

Manchester City can be expected to wake up in this match and start a winning streak. Cannonballer Erling Haaland has a 4 goal lead at the top of the scorers table and is very likely to add another, maybe even 2 goals in this match. Although a lot of goals are falling in the mutual matches, but in this duel more than 5 goals are not expected, as even Pep Guardiola will surely instruct his charges a more defensive strategy when leading after the last matches.
