⚽ Man City vs. Leeds preview & score prediction
It’s not a must-win, but Man City could be at risk of falling out of the Premier League title race if they don't beat relegation-threatened Leeds United at home.
City are coming off back-to-back losses in the Premier League and Champions League, respectively.
But Pep Guardiola’s star-studded, third-placed team shouldn’t have any problems bouncing back against a side as poor as 18th-placed Leeds. I like City to return to their winning ways Saturday with a clean-sheet victory.
City out for revenge
Man City have been dominant at the Etihad Stadium, winning five straight games after losing their season-opening match in August against Tottenham.
They’ve only conceded twice amid their winning streak at home, a stat that doesn’t generate much encouragement for a Leeds team that’s been held goalless in four of six away games.
Man City’s defensive dominance at home combined with Leeds’ offensive road struggles should be an inviting opportunity to bet on the home side securing its fourth clean sheet at home this season.
A winning $10 bet returns a profit of $8 at bet365's -125 odds. That translates to an implied probability of 55.56%.
Score prediction: Manchester City 3, Leeds 0
🆚 Man City vs. Leeds matchup to watch
Ethan Ampadu vs. Man City’s midfield
Ethan Ampadu should be on his best behavior to start Saturday’s game.
At least, the Leeds captain ought to be, considering that the defensive midfielder is a yellow card away from getting suspended.
But I think that the task of trying to stop Manchester City’s stars from getting close to Leeds' defense will be too great, with emotions getting the best of Ampadu and resulting in his team-leading fifth yellow of the season.
Ultimately, it’s the price he has to pay for an aggressive style that often attracts the attention of match officials.
Best prop bet: Ethan Ampadu yellow card (+180 via DraftKings)
