LiontipsManchester City vs Burnley. Prediction and Betting Tips for 2022/23 FA Cup (March 18, 2023).
Command Analysis
Manchester City and Burnley will face off at the Etihad Stadium in the quarterfinals of the FA Cup this weekend. Burnley's current boss Vincent Kompany played 62 times for Pep Guardiola at City in 2008-2019, but as shown by the head coach of MC in his eight managerial meetings against his former assistant Mikel Arteta, he doesn't like it when the student beats the teacher.
Guardiola's unstoppable machine has reached the semifinals of the FA Cup in each of the last four seasons, and there is little chance that this streak will end this year, considering that City have won their last eight home games against Burnley with an overall score of 31:2. A victory in the upcoming game will allow the Sky-Blues to become the third team in history to reach the semifinals of the FA Cup five times in a row.
Mendy is not in good form and will miss the game.
Burnley will undoubtedly have something to say this Saturday, and the revamped team will be supported by 7,800 people who have travelled to Manchester to see the Clarets aim for their first appearance in the semifinals of the FA Cup since the 1973/74 season.
Midweek, the visitors easily defeated Hull City (3-1), which was a boost to their confidence, but their most recent trip to Manchester resulted in a fiasco in the League Cup match against Manchester United. The odds are clearly against Burnley, but the team will strive to deliver their best performance and upset the giants - after all, in 2015 the City team lost at home to a representative of the Championship - on that occasion, it was Middlesbrough.
Harwood-Bellis, Churlinov, and Brownhill are sidelined through injuries.

Our prediction — Asian handicap (-2) to Manchester City
We doubt that Burnley are capable of withholding the pressure that Man City will put on their defense. The Sky-Blues are a far stronger team and should win comfortably.
