Erling Haaland to Score -154

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.

Corners Prediction

Man City Under 6.5 Corners -100

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.
