LiontipsLiverpool vs Manchester City. Prediction (odds 2.65) and bets on the English Premier League match
Command Analysis
Current form
Liverpool confidently dominates this season not only in the Premier League, but also in the Champions League. The main thing is that they manage to avoid slumps, plus they manage to achieve victories even when the game is not going well, thanks to their class and experience. In the EPL, the Merseysiders are in undisputed first place, with 31 points. The leader allowed himself the only misfire in the confrontation with Nottingham Forest on the home field, but that was back in September.
The last match in the Premier League away to Southampton was not easy for Arne Sloth charges. The opponent fought until the end, leading 2:1 by the 65th minute, but Salah showed himself once again, scored a double and brought his team their tenth victory of the season in the championship.
During the week in the Champions League, Salah already "distinguished himself" by missing a penalty in the confrontation with Real Madrid. However, even without his goals, Liverpool won 2-0. McAllister and Gakpo scored. In the same match, Mbappe also failed to score from the penalty spot. Nevertheless, the victory of the "Reds" was fully deserved, they had a significant territorial advantage, created many dangerous moments, and allowed the Madrid team to make only three shots on target. However, Arne Slot still noted some shortcomings in the game of his players after the match. In the Champions League standings, Liverpool confidently occupies first place after five rounds with the maximum 15 points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Allison, Chiesa, Jota and Tsimikas are all out today due to injury, while Konate and Bradley are questionable.
Interesting trends for betting
- Liverpool have drawn in the first half in three of their last four matches
- In four of Liverpool previous five Premier League matches, both teams have scored goals
- Liverpool have opened the scoring in 12 of their last 15 Premier League games
Probable line-up: Kelleher - Alexander-Arnold, Gomez, van Dijk, Robertson - Gravenberg, McAllister - Salah, Jones, Diaz - Nunez.
Current form
Manchester City continues to set various anti-records one after another. Thus, the Citizens became the first current English champions since 1956 to lose five matches in a row in all tournaments. This week in the Champions League they lost a three-goal lead against Feyenoord and became the first to do so in the last 15 minutes of the game in the entire history of the tournament. It is obvious that the team has fallen into a serious crisis from which they cannot get out.
In the Premier League standings, Josep Guardiola men are already at risk of leaving even the top three in the event of another failure. They are currently eight points behind Liverpool. In the last round https://www.mancity.com target=_blank rel=noopener>, Manchester City were unable to do anything against Tottenham (0:4) at home. As a result, they have a series of three defeats in a row in the EPL with a total score of 2:8. Regular lapses in defense can be seen.
In the Champions League, after a draw with Feyenoord, Guardiola team is only in 17th place, with eight points. The gap from the top 8 is only two points, but given the current performance, it is difficult to count on getting into the top eight.
Disqualifications and injuries
Manchester City have Rodri, Bobb and Kovacic in the infirmary. Doku and Stones are in doubt.
Interesting trends for betting
- Manchester City have not lost in the first half in three of their last five matches
- At least three goals have been scored in nine of City previous 11 Premier League games
- Goals have been exchanged in nine of Manchester City last 11 Premier League games
Probable line-up: Ederson - Walker, Akanji, Dias, Guardiol - Nunez, Gundogan - Silva, De Bruyne, Savinho - Haaland.

1.62Tip and bets
Manchester City decline in form has dragged on, and at the moment there are no serious prerequisites for a decent winning streak. Failures can be seen not only in the implementation of moments, but also in defense; Tottenham scored four times without problems. The match against Liverpool is clearly not the best time for the Citizens. It will be difficult to hold an equal fight against an opponent in excellent form, who is also certainly not inferior in class, using only motivation and the desire to break the losing streak. At the moment, the Merseysiders are stronger than the Citizens in all respects.
Our prediction is a Liverpool win with odds of 2.14
Bet on total
Manchester City regularly makes mistakes in defence, which Liverpool attack led by Salah is capable of taking advantage of more than once. In the last six matches, the Citizens have conceded at least twice. We don't see any prerequisites for this series to be broken today.
The second bet is Liverpool individual total goals over 1.5 with odds of 1.77
Bet on the exact difference in the score
Liverpool are currently on a six-game winning streak. In five of those games, the Merseysiders have won by one or two goals. We believe that today will be a similar victory.
Prediction: Liverpool win by one or two goals with odds of 2.65
