Burton vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting tips
For example, if you look closely at the odds in the return leg of the English League Cup semi-final between Burton Albion and Manchester City, you’ll find an extremely rare offer at Unibet: The bookmaker has an unbelievably high odds of a third-rate club Burton Albion Football Club 2,501.00 ready. But now, before particularly daring lucky knights loot their betting account, they should take a look at the first leg result: Premier League champions Manchester City won at home on January 9, with a staggering 9-0 against the third division. Thus, in the second leg, it is really only about the golden pineapple or the honor.
Nevertheless, the return match made it into the headlines: The plan of City Coach Pep Guardiola for the two duels against Burton Albion actually looked like this. In the first leg of the coach sent his best team on the field, so that this brings out the clearest possible result. With the 9: 0 in the first leg, the Citizens were so then also once fully in the target. In order to spare his stars, the Spanish coach then wanted to send the U23 team of Manchester City on the field in the actually meaningless return leg. But the English Football League did not participate here. Because the EFL set up a day before the second leg of the Carabao League Cup semi-final, a separate game for the U23 of City. In the Checkatrade Trophy, the second team has to face Sunderland themselves in the quarter-finals. So Guardiola must send his pros from the first team against Burton Albion on the field? But with how much gas, will and passion are the Skyblues going into the game? Despite the clear starting position, the betting base has found interesting odds for the game and is in the match against Burton Albion.
Burton Albion:
The Burton Albion Football Club still played in the second-rate championship last season. As a penultimate last season, the club from Burton -on-Trent but had to descend into the third-rate League One. After 28 matchdays, the Brewers stand as table thirteenth in the gray midfield of the league. This season, there have been ten wins, six draws and 12 defeats so far. Currently, the relegated six points ahead of the relegation place and eleven points behind the playoff zone. 23 of the 36 points could get the team of coach Nigel Clough at home. But in their own Pirelli Stadium, there were seven defeats and five defeats. In the away table you can find the BAFC with 13 points from 14 games only on the 19th place. There were three successes in the foreign country but also seven defeats. Burton Albion has won only one of the last six competitive matches. This season, there were ten wins, two draws and seven defeats in front of their own fans. Only in two games was the Football Club at home scoring against Scunthorpe United and the U21 Middlesbrough. On Saturday, Burton Albion FC had to settle in the league with a 2-2 draw with the Doncaster Rovers.
A memorable season played Burton Albion but so far in the League Cup. In the first round, the Brewers won 2-1 at league rivals Shrewsbury Town. After that defeated the Elf of Coach Clough at home with 1-0 second division Aston Villa. In round 3, it caught up with Burnley the first Premier League club. After a 1: 2 had the favorite in the third round to cut the sails. The second division Nottingham Forest fared no better, because after a 2: 3 away defeat was in the second round final. In the quarterfinals Burton Albion had to compete in the second division Middlesbrough and prevailed 1-0. The Brewers were shown the limits but at Manchester City. Despite a decent first 30 minutes, the underdog was already back with 0: 4 for the break. In the end, the Citizens then managed from 28: 4-shots a final score of 9: 0. The class difference was too clear. Now, the only thing for the third division is to say goodbye to the cup. The men from Burton-upon-Trent think back to the year 2006: At that time the Brewers managed in the third round of the FA Cup against Manchester United a respectable 0-0 in the home arena. Burton will be without midfielder Scott Fraser on Wednesday.
Manchester City:
The reigning champions of the Premier League – Manchester City – have recovered after a brief crisis. Within four league games, the Citizens had suffered three bankruptcies between the 8th and the 26th of December. But since the defeat at Leicester the Skyblues give gas again. The following six competitive games could win the team of coach Pep Guardiola all, with a goal difference of 27: 2. Especially important was the 2-1 home win against Liverpool on January 3, with the City could reduce the gap in the league on the Reds to four points. In the last six compulsory games remained the Skyblues four clean sheets.
The first leg in the semi-finals of the League Cup was with the 9: 0 also a very clear thing. With this result, the Citizens celebrated the highest competitive win since 1987. Moreover, it was the highest League Cup semi-final victory in history. Gabriel Jesus met four times. Players like De Bryune, Aguero or Gabriel Jesus should have a good chance of winning on Wednesday. Even youngsters like Phil Foden or Philippe Sandler can hope for a bet. Mendy continues to be injured. Already in the last season Manchester City won the competition after a 3-0 victory in the final against Arsenal. Of course, this year the Citizens are the big favorites for the sixth title in the League Cup. But in the final, either the Spurs or Chelsea are waiting.
