Correct Score Prediction
Let’s take a chance on the +600 available that Man City secure a 3-0 victory. There’s a nice potential return waiting if we’re able to predict the correct score.
Player Prop Picks
Zan Vipotnik (Swansea) has had a minimum of one shot on goal in one of his past ten games. He certainly looks capable of covering the line when it comes to this player prop and odds of +128 are currently on offer.

Erling Haaland (City) has been on the scoresheet in seven of his past nine matches. We think there’s value in backing him for an Anytime Goalscorer prop bet at -154 which will hopefully see him find the net.
T&C apply. Gamble responsibly 18+
Corners Prediction
City have failed to cover the 6.5 corners line in seven consecutive away matches, with Swansea conceding under 6.5 corners in their past six home games. The City Team Corners line looks too big and we’re happy to go under this number at odds of -100.
