Liverpool vs Man City Betting Picks
According to soccer news reports, City finished off their season with two blowout victories over RB Leipzig and Burnley, scoring a combined 13 goals (eight for Erling Haaland). Pep Guardiola’s team has won six in a row, evoking memories of their 14-game winning streak that helped them beat Liverpool for the 2019 title. However, they are eight points behind leaders Arsenal and maybe without Haaland here.
The Reds need to win every game in order to make the playoffs. According to a sportsbook pay per head blog, Liverpool’s inconsistent season was summed up by their 1-0 setback at Bournemouth, which came on the heels of their 7-0 annihilation of Manchester United.
In a different part of the season, Manchester City would have been content with a draw in a match of this magnitude. According to sports news reports, Arsenal’s lead in the Premier League was reduced to just five points. Thus, the pressure is on Man City to win.
With a Champions League quarterfinal against Bayern Munich and a confrontation with Arsenal in late April, the home team will likely approach this match as a must-win.
