Forbidden To Risk – Draw At Etihad Is A Possibility!
This is without any doubts, the biggest clash of this UEFA Champions League group stage. Manchester City is trying to bounce back after a disastrous performance in Camp Nou with Barcelona crushing their opponents by 4-0.
Find out which are the best betting lines to take on this match among the green listed bookmakers.
Manchester City traveled to Barcelona with high expectations, which makes it even harder for them to accept that heavy loss. This time at the Etihad Stadium, the Citizens can’t afford another humiliation, especially after their recent bad results at home.
Pep Guardiola is well aware of Barcelona’s quality and it expectable to see him presenting a very cautious approach, defending always with the maximum players possible.
On the other side, Luis Enrique travels to England in a very comfortable position since Barcelona is “already” qualified for the next stage. They’ll try to win this game for sure but we don’t expect to see them demolishing their opponents like they did at home.
The bookmakers rate Barcelona as the favourite and we agree with them at 100%. After Manchester City’s last performances it won’t be easy to trust on them in the near future. However, since Barcelona doesn’t need to win this game we’ve found some good value to play the straight draw in this clash. This result suits both teams and it is available in William Hill at 3.75, a great price.
Regarding the goals market, we are tempted to play the Under here. With the English team not willing to take any risks, this should also result in few goal chances for the visitors. That said, the Under 3.00 at 2.04 Pinnacle is a good line to add to your be slip for this match, but not alone.
Normally these kind of match would be a great opportunity to look into the goal scorers market. But this time, we see this match ending with a draw to nil in a very boring game between two cautious teams.
Summing up the bets to take in this game, the Under 3.00 @2.04 in Pinnacle and the Draw @3.75 William Hill but we invite you to take a look around at the other green listed bookmakers to see if you can grab a better odd.
