Burnley vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting tips
The title is coming closer by week for Manchester City. Especially after Manchester City won the Manchester Derby convincingly on Wednesday evening. On Sunday afternoon Pep Guardiola’s team of stars will visit low-flyer Burnley and everyone will automatically fill in a “two” on the betting form.
Burnley:
At Burnley, they know they normally have no chance if Manchester City is the opponent on Turf Moor. Still, The Clarets can take hope from their last four Premier League games in which Burnley scored no less than ten points. After victories over Wolverhampton, Bournemouth and Cardiff City, Burnley played nicely on Monday evening with a 2-2 tie to Chelsea. Admittedly, the play of Burnley on Stamford Bridge definitely did not deserve the beauty prize, but we are now used to Burnley being able to get great results with defensive football. That happened again to Chelsea.
Due to the 2-2 draw in London, Burnley now has forty points and The Clarets can therefore slowly focus on next season, as Burnley will no longer relegate. This season was one that many Burnley fans probably look back on with dissatisfaction, but that is mainly because fans of The Clarets were very spoiled last season with European football as the icing on the cake. However, Burnley will also realize that some players need to be added in the coming transfer period, because the Sean Dyche team can use some impulses in a number of places.
Manchester City:
For the Manchester City of Guardiola it seems a matter of time before The Citizens become champions in England. With Tottenham Hotspur at home and Manchester United out, Manchester City has had the two toughest opponents in the final weeks of the competition and Manchester City took full advantage against those two clubs. As a result, Manchester City has everything in its own hands and if The Citizens win their last three Premier League games of the season, they are champions. That should not be a problem, because Manchester City has more quality than Burnley, Leicester City and Brighton & Hove Albion. Those are the last three teams against which Manchester City will play in the Premier League this season. In addition, The Citizens will play the FA Cup final against Watford next month.
On Wednesday evening all eyes were on Manchester, because in the fourth largest city in England the Manchester Derby was on the program. Just like the last two seasons in the Premier League, this edition in the Theater of Dreams was also a prey for the Manchester City of Guardiola: 0-2. The Citizens were lords and masters at Old Trafford and humiliated Manchester United in-house. The reactions after the Manchester City players also showed that the victory over Man United gives them a lot of confidence in Premier League-victory, because this will never give away Manchester City again, the general conclusion was after an evening on Old Trafford.
