Man City vs Burnley Predictions, Betting Tips and Preview

Manchester City v Burnley predictions and football betting tips for the Premier League match on Monday 2^nd January with the best odds for each selection and reasons for our tips.

 

Can Manchester City bounce back from their defeat at Liverpool by starting 2017 with a win? They host Burnley on Monday, as they look to boost their hopes of challenging for the title. However, with a 10 point gap between them and Chelsea, they can’t afford to drop any more points.

 

Manchester City vs Burnley Predictions

 

Pep Guardiola is facing plenty of questions after City’s 1-0 loss at Liverpool. After going behind earlier in that one his side failed to show any kind of response, it’s hardly what you’d expect from a manager of his stature. So far the Premier League has been tough to the former Bayern Munich boss, but things are getting slightly easier for him.

 

City face a Burnley side who have failed to score in 75% of their away matches this term. They’ve averaged just 0.25 goals per game on their travels. That kind of form is unlikely to improve against a City side who will dominate possession in this clash. While Guardiola’s side aren’t great at the back, we can’t see the Clarets scoring here. We’re backing City to win to nil at 5/6 with Boylesports for our first Man City vs Burnley betting tip.

 

Sergio Aguero didn’t have a great return from suspension against Liverpool, but he should fare better here. The forward’s last two goals came at Burnley in November, and he can add to that against the Clarets. We’re backing the Argentine to score first here, which is priced at 23/10 with Betfair.

Highly rated Brazilian Gabriel Jesus joining on January 2^nd, so the £27million signing could be available here.
