Manchester City hosts Burnley this Wednesday night. The champs are behind Liverpool while we write this preview, and hope to jump over the Reds. The Clarets are second to the last, slowly losing pace in the battle for survival in the Premiership. 

Before Betting on Manchester City vs. Burnley

The Citizens are right behind Liverpool and are in perfect shape. Seven wins in a row and ten straight events without a loss are the best possible proof for this claim. During that time, we’ve seen them win the Intercontinental Cup.

Despite not having Erling Haaland in certain events, Citizens’ efficiency didn’t drop. During a seven-match victorious stretch, Man City netted 21 times and 28 in the recent ten events. Now, that’s a pretty high average, no matter the rivals and competitions, and we do need to say that Guaridiola’s unit played Champions and Premier League games here.

Burnley posted a tie two weeks ago in the Premiership against Luton at home, 1-1. That was the first time the Clarets hadn’t lost after three consecutive defeats. The offense created plenty of problems for this unit, failing to deliver in two of those four meetings. 

It is very interesting that Burnley plays much better on the road than at home, winning 8 of their 12 points away from Turf Moore. In ten such appearances, the Clarets won two, had two ties, and lost six times. It seems they better function once defending, opposite to the situations when they have to dictate the tempo and try to control the game.

The Citizens are at a much higher level than their rivals, and despite Burnley playing better on the road, they won’t stand a chance against the champions. City has momentum; they play at home, and on top of that, their form is extremely good.
