Man City vs Sheffield Utd Betting Tips: Man City -2 AH
Following an unexpected streak of just one victory in six Premier League games, Man City bounced back on Wednesday, registering a stellar 3:1 comeback win against Everton. Phil Foden, Julian Alvarez, and Bernardo Silva scored in the second half, securing a crucial win for the Citizens.
Now playing on their home turf, it is anticipated that City will secure a decisive victory over Sheffield United, who recently suffered a disastrous 3:2 defeat at home against Luton. Even though the Blades had a 2:1 lead in the second half, they experienced another home defeat, leaving them at the bottom of the table, seven points away from safety.
Chris Wilder’s team has yet to secure a win in their nine away games this season. Despite playing six of these games against teams in the division’s top ten, the Blades have only managed to accumulate two points. A 5:0 defeat at Burnley indicates that they may struggle to secure many away wins this season.
Although City hasn’t been performing at their peak recently, Pep Guardiola’s team will likely gain confidence from their impressive victory in Merseyside. Therefore, I’m supporting the Citizens to secure a commanding win this Saturday.
Sheffield United will view this match as an excellent opportunity in their efforts to rise up the league table. This could potentially give City the chance to take advantage of a defense that has already conceded 23 goals away from home this season.
I´m backing City to win at a canter so I´ll take the home side in the -2 AH line.
