Manchester City vs Burnley Prediction
In their previous meeting earlier this season, Manchester City won 5-1 at home and has won its last 14 meetings against Burnley and the last 11 by 2+ goals. Their last four meetings have gone over the total.
In this Manchester City vs Burnley Prediction, Manchester City is coming as -900 road favorites. Burnley is only better than Wolves in the Premier League this season while City won Arsenal at home and have closed the gap towards the first place into just three points. The question in this game is not who will win, but by how many goals City will win. The spread currently sits at 2.5 goals and City won their previous meeting against Burnley by 4 goals, so I expect them to destroy them once again and cover that -2.5 goal spread.
Nikos Lagouretos's Pick: Manchester City -2.5
