Stoke vs Man City Predictions

 

Stoke City

Mark Hughes will be relatively happy with their result and performance last week against Middlesbrough. They drew 1-1, but Stoke really dominated in the second half and will be hoping for that sort of performance against Manchester City. Stoke have a surprisingly good record against the blue side of Manchester with two victories in their last four meetings with them and one of these came at a similar point in the season as this one. Two years ago, Mame Biram Diouf stunned the Etihad stadium by scoring a brilliant counter attacking goal and that was the only goal of the game as Stoke won 1-0. He is prone to scoring in the first few games of the season as shown by the goal at the Etihad and two goals in Stoke’s opening three games last season and I have a feeling that he could cause John Stones and co some problems.

 

Manchester City

Manchester City will be coming into this match full of confidence after hammering Steaua Bucharest 5-0 in Romania. Sergio Aguero scored a hat-trick but also missed two penalties, so this shows just how good City were on Tuesday night. Pep Guardiola has wasted no time in making changes at the Etihad with the highest profile one being the exclusion of Joe Hart. Everyone will have their own opinion on this but I believe that most people will agree that Willy Caballero isn’t a top quality goalkeeper and seems to have a mistake in him all the time. However, when you have attacking talent like Aguero, Silva and De Bruyne then Guardiola will be confident of always scoring one more than the opposition. This is why I think Manchester City will be just too strong for Stoke.

 

Correct Score Prediction

For my first prediction in this Premier League match I will be having a bet in the correct score market. I do think that Pep Guardiola’s side will win this match, but I can see them conceding a goal because of the fact that they are away from home against a decent side with lots of attacking players. So my Stoke vs Man City correct score tip will be 2-1 to Manchester City which is 8/1 at Bet Victor.

Anytime Goalscorer Prediction

My second Stoke vs Man City betting tip is going to be in the anytime scorer market. I mentioned Mame Biram Diouf earlier and I think that he will cause City some problems and along with the fact that he has history with scoring in the first couple of games of the season I think 10/3 for him to score anytime is a great bet and I will be backing this at Bet365.
