Premier League Betting Preview: Burnley vs Manchester City
Second-from-bottom Burnley meet second-placed Manchester City at Turf Moor, with kick-off set for 15:00 on Wednesday 22 April.
Manchester City are chasing their seventh Premier League title in nine seasons and would go top of the table with a win. Meanwhile, Burnley, who sit twelve points behind West Ham with five games remaining and having played a game more, must win to keep their very slim survival hopes alive.
A one-goal victory for City would see them draw level with Arsenal on goal difference, but move ahead on goals scored. Goal difference could prove decisive in the title race, which helps explain the big Asian Handicap line here.
City beat Burnley 5-1 at the Etihad in September and boast an excellent record in this fixture, having won each of the last 14 Premier League meetings. However, +2.25 is a generous line for the hosts and considering that City have only won by three goals or more in four of their last ten visits to Turf Moor, we will side with Burnley on the Asian Handicap. This means half a win if the Clarets lose by exactly two goals, while a defeat by one or better results in a full payout at -115.
Burnley have lost their last three league matches, most recently beaten 4-1 away by Nottingham Forest at the City Ground. Scott Parker's men had 48% possession and recorded three shots on target, with Zian Flemming bagging the goal.
Manchester City, unbeaten in their last ten Premier League games, were 2-1 winners at home to league leaders Arsenal at the Etihad Stadium last time out. The Citizens boasted 59% possession and recorded five shots on goal, while Rayan Cherki and Erling Haaland found the net.
