Julian Alvarez To Score & Over 3.5 Goals
Manchester City vs Burnley Bet Builder: Alvarez To Score & Over 3.5 Goals


Manchester City vs Burnley Preview & Prediction

Burnley have struggled after earning promotion from the Championship last season, as the Clarets sit 19th in the table and are five points away from avoiding relegation.

Vincent Kompany’s men have failed win in their last four matches (all competitions) and have only won three from the last 15 league encounters.

In contrast, Manchester City have started to find form, soaring to second in the table and are now five points behind Liverpool with a game in hand.

Pep Guardiola’s team are on a run of seven consecutive victories in all competitions and are unbeaten in 10 – dropping points at home to Crystal Palace in a 2-2 draw.

The Cityzens will be full of confidence after knocking Spurs out of the FA Cup with a 1-0 win in north London – thanks to a Nathan Ake strike.

Given the disparity between these two sides, we expect Manchester City to pick up a comfortable win at home and ease to a 4-0 victory.

Prediction: Manchester City 4-0 Burnley


Manchester City vs Burnley Betting Tips

  • Julian Alvarez To Score @ 49/50
  • Over 3.5 Goals @ 10/11
  • Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 17/10

Manchester City vs Burnley Betting Tip 1: Julian Alvarez To Score @ 49/50

The Argentine has been a huge bonus for Manchester City this season, contributing to 12 goals in 20 Premier League matches (6G+6A).

Scoring five goals in his last six appearances (all competitions), the 23-year-old has stepped up in the absence of Erling Haaland.

With that in mind, we expect the 2022 World Cup Winner to be on target despite Haaland’s return to the squad and at 49/50 is a safe option.

Manchester City vs Burnley Betting Tip 2: Over 3.5 Goals @ 10/11

Four of Manchester City’s last five home matches in all competitions have exceeded 3.5 goals, including a 5-0 win over Huddersfield during their last showing at the Etihad.

Burnley have conceded 42 goals in 21 Premier League matches, as Vincent Kompany’s side continue to struggle defensively.

Upon evaluation, here at SportsLens we believe Manchester City will have a host of chances on Wednesday and choosing over 3.5 goals is a strong addition.
