Player Prop Picks

Top Pick: Phil Foden Under 0.5 Shots On Target +140 BetMGM logo

Phil Foden (City) hasn’t managed a shot on goal in seven consecutive Premier League matches away from home. Let’s stick with this betting trend and wager him to go under the Shots on Target line at odds of +140.

Erling Haaland to Score -143 BetMGM logo

Erling Haaland (City) has scored at least one goal in four straight Premier League games. We think there’s value in backing him for an Anytime Goalscorer prop bet at -143 which will hopefully see him find the net.

Corners Prediction

Man City Under 6.5 Corners -138 BetMGM logo

City have not covered the 6.5 corners line in four consecutive away games, with Brentford conceding under 6.5 corners in their past four matches. There’s a price of -138 for this Team Corners bet and we think the City line is too big.

Shots On Target Phil Foden Under 0.5 +140

We recommend a bet builder as it’s an exciting way of wagering on a football match. It’s especially good if you have a strong view on the likely outcomes and the odds for each pick are combined.
