Premier League Matchday 17 Preview: Man City on a Recovery Mission
Highlights
- City face tough test at Villa.
- Fulham can add to Southampton’s woes.
- Over 2.5 goals multiple can produce a winning return.
Reigning Champions Must Bounce Back at Villa
Reigning Premier League champions Man City head to Villa on Saturday aiming to put a dismal run of form firmly behind them.
Pep Guardiola’s side are outside the top four after losing against Manchester United last weekend and need to bounce back to winning ways.
Odds of 7/1 on betting apps for them to have over 1.5 goals, over 5.5 corners and over 2.5 cards at Villa could give punters a good run for their money.
Fulham are a Banker Bet to Beat Southampton
Fulham are unbeaten in their last four league matches – a run which includes draws against title hopefuls Arsenal and Liverpool.
They welcome Southampton to Craven Cottage this weekend and look a good bet to win to nil at odds of 13/8 on UK betting sites.
The visitors have scored just four goals in eight games on the road this season and are odds-on favourites to make an immediate return to the Championship.
Over 2.5 Goals Multiple Can Deliver Again
The over 2.5 goals market has been productive for us over the past five matchdays, delivering three successful multiple wagers during that timeframe.
The games at Brentford, West Ham United and Leicester City look primed to hit that mark this weekend and can deliver a tasty 7/2 treble.
Adding Manchester United versus Bournemouth fixture ramps up the odds to 11/2 for punters who fancy being a little more ambitious.
