Manchester City head to Spain to take on Villarreal in the Champions League on Tuesday night, and our betting tips for the clash can be backed in a 4/1 bet builder.
Pep Guardiola and his Manchester City side return to Champions League action with a trip to eastern Spain to take on LaLiga side Villarreal on MD3 of the league phase on Tuesday evening.
The Cityzens are in excellent form ahead of the clash, having gone unbeaten in each of their last eight matches across all competitions since suffering back-to-back defeats in late August.
Their most recent outing ended in a 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday afternoon. That result saw them climb up to second place in the Premier League table, three points adrift of Arsenal.
Thus far in Europe, they have recorded a 3-0 win over Napoli at home and a 2-2 draw away at Monaco. They currently sit in eighth place in the league phase table on four points.
Villarreal, meanwhile, are down in 26th place after facing Tottenham and Juventus. Marcelino’s side lost 1-0 to the former on MD1 before drawing 2-2 against the latter on MD2.
Domestically, they have enjoyed a strong start to the campaign. They currently occupy third place in the Spanish top-flight table, behind only Barcelona and league leaders Real Madrid.
Despite this, they are winless in their last two league outings, having lost 3-1 to Los Blancos prior to the international window and drawn 2-2 against Real Betis on Saturday evening.
Villarreal vs Manchester City Betting Tips
- Manchester City to Win @ 8/11
- Over 2.5 Goals @ 8/13
- Erling Haaland to Score Two or More @ 10/3
Manchester City to Win @ 8/11
First off, we’re backing Manchester City to return to England with all three points.
As previously mentioned, the Cityzens are in fine form. They are unbeaten in each of their last eight matches across all competitions (6W 2D), prevailing in their last two without conceding.
We expect this record to be extended with a comfortable win in Spain on Tuesday.
Additionally, City boast a 100% win record against Villarreal. The pair met twice during the 2010-11 Champions League season, with the Cityzens winning both meetings 2-1 and 3-0.
Over 2.5 Goals @ 8/13
Next up, we’re backing over 2.5 goals to be scored over the course of 90 minutes.
This feat has been achieved in all of Manchester City and Villarreal’s previous head-to-head meetings, while it was also achieved in both sides’ fixtures on MD2 of the league phase.
The benchmark has also been hit in five of Villarreal’s last six matches in all competitions.
At 8/13, we see this selection as a safe pick for your Tuesday night bet builders.
Erling Haaland to Score Two or More @ 10/3
Finally, we’re backing the ever-impressive Erling Haaland to score two or more goals.
The Norwegian is in blistering form at the moment, having scored in 11 consecutive matches for club and country in all competitions. He has registered 21 goals and three assists across this run.
In total, he has scored 23 goals and provided three assists for club and country this term.
His form has seen his price rise in the latest FPL price changes for Gameweek 9.
He added two goals to his tally in the 2-0 win over Everton on Saturday afternoon, meaning he has now scored two or more goals in four of his last five matches for club and country.
At 10/3, we see strong value in backing this trend to continue in the Champions League.
