Manchester City vs West Brom Prediction & Betting tips
The absolute top teams in Europe are currently Manchester City, FC Barcelona, Bayern Munich and Paris St. Germain. All four clubs dominate each their national league almost at will and are therefore also the big favorites in the Champions League. In addition to a massive offensive, which is definitely to be found in all four clubs, you need defensively a real bulwark for the huge success on the international stage – as the past few years have repeatedly shown. There you can already see some differences. Barca is the clear leader with only ten goals conceded, followed by Bayern Munich and Paris Saint Germain. The most frequently conceded so far, the Premier League team from Manchester conceded a goal (18). Although the winning streak last week at Manchester City, Pep Guardiola’s protégés seldom managed to keep the pace at the bottom. In seven of their last eight home games, the opponents scored in Etihad Stadium a goal. If West Bromwich Albion succeeds on Wednesday, then it seems almost certain that betting on “Both teams will score at least one goal” will be successful, as Citizens will always be able to rely on the offense. At 20:00, the match will be kicked off.
Manchester City :
Manchester City play an outstanding season from matchday one and Pep Guardiola’s team seem to have lost the title in the Premier League. Twelve points is the lead in the table ahead of city rivals United. The only two defeats this season were the unimportant last group game in the premier class at Shakhtar Donetsk and the recent spectacular 3: 4 defeat at Liverpool FC. Otherwise, the Citizens were completely harmless, even if the results in the recent past were not as clear as at the beginning of the season. 0: 0, 3: 1, 4: 1, 2: 1, 3: 4, 3: 1, 3: 2 and 2: 0 were the last results.
It is particularly striking that the league leaders Manchester City almost always conceded at least one goal. While this hardly matters in the furious offensive around Kevin de Bruyne, but can be a problem against strong opponents. Especially at home, the Citizens succeeded only once in the last eight appearances to keep the back zero. The opponents seem to respect the attack of the Skyblues, but not the defensive. On Wednesday, the two stars Leroy Sane and Gabriel Jesus now fall out, so West Brom can travel without fear to the front runner.
West Brom:
West Bromwich Albion is stuck in the table cellar of the Premier League. With 20 points, the club ranks on the penultimate place and is thus in acute relegation need. Since especially the offensive tweaks (19 goals are the third weakest value of all teams), one does not immediately come to the conclusion that the Underdog should succeed on Wednesday a goal in Manchester. However, the last games in the foreign country should encourage the guests. At Exeter City, the trophy was a 2-0 success in the Cup.
At the Toffees they drew 1-1 and at the weekend there was the big highlight with a 3-2 triumph at Liverpool FC. The confidence of the players is therefore great and away from the league leader West Brom can completely free and play without pressure. In three of the last four years, the visitors managed to score a goal in Manchester, even if all games were lost in the end. This should also be the minimum goal on Wednesday.
