Manchester City vs. Arsenal odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Manchester City vs. Arsenal odds and lines, with expert EPL picks, predictions and best bets.

In a high-profile English Premier League clash, Manchester City (22 wins, 4 losses, 4 draws) welcomes Arsenal (23-3-6) to Etihad Stadium. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we preview BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Manchester City vs. Arsenal odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

This game could very well decide the fate of the 2022-23 English Premier League season. City is 2 games behind Arsenal and is 5 points behind them for the top spot in the league. Both teams are locked into top-4 spots which will qualify the clubs for the UEFA Champions League next season.

City is an impressive 13-1-1 at home this season. It is led offensively by F Erling Haaland, who has 32 goals in 28 matches. City has won 6 straight EPL matches and hasn’t drawn or lost at home in a league match this calendar year.

Arsenal is 11-2-3 on the road this season. The Reds are led by F Martinelli, who has 15 goals on the season. F Bukayo Saka and M Martin Odegaard both have 10-plus goals as well. Arsenal has drawn 3 straight league matches, 2 of which were on the road.

Manchester City vs. Arsenal picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester City 3, Arsenal 2

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

There just isn’t any value either way. City is at home and has been beating the snot out of the Premier League over the last few months. It hasn’t even drawn a home league match since December 2022.

Arsenal is a quality side and sits atop the league but has had clear struggles staying separated from mid-tier sides. Ultimately, given this value, playing City at (-185) doesn’t make sense, but at this point, you’d be a fool to bet against the Haaland-led club.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET ALTERNATE OVER 3.5 (+138).

The Over is juiced to a level that it is unplayable. Similar to the moneyline, the chances that Over 2.5 (-185) happens just doesn’t pose much betting value. Now, the OVER 3.5 (+138) is the stronger play here.

For starters, City is averaging 2.6 goals per game. While it allows just .93, it has allowed a goal in 3 straight games. City has gone Over this total in 3 straight games and in 6 of its last 9. It has scored at least 4 goals in 3 of its last 6. The offense is clicking, and its midfield is the best in the world which allows for ample chances.

Arsenal, on the other hand, averages 2.41 goals per game and allows 1.06. The Reds defense has led them down as of late, allowing 2 or more goals in 3 straight games. They have allowed 9 goals in their last 5 games. Arsenal has gone Over this total in 5 straight games and in 7 of its last 8.

Couple the elite, high-octane offenses with a slacking Arsenal defense and goals should come often. Take the OVER 3.5 (+138) here.

Bayern Munich vs. Manchester City odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Wednesday’s Bayern Munich vs. Manchester City odds and lines, with Champions League expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Bayern Munich welcomes Manchester City to Allianz Arena Wednesday. Kickoff in the 2nd leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Bayern Munich vs. Manchester City odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Bayern Munich visited Etihad stadium on April 11 and were embarrassed, losing 3-0 and being put in quite the uphill battle. City had 9 shots on target and 17 in total. Bayern had 4 and 12 respectively despite having 56% of the possession.

Manchester City has been on an absolute tear as of late, winning 10 games in a row throughout all competitions. They have won all but one of those by more than a goal as well. They haven’t lost a game since Feb. 5. City sits 2nd in the English Premier League.

Bayern sits atop the Bundesliga, the top German league. They have struggled the last few weeks, posting just a 2-3-1 record throughout all competitions. They are just 0-1-1 in their last 2 home games as well. Bayern beat PSG a combined 3-0 in the Round of 16 to get to the Champions League quarters.

Bayern Munich vs. Manchester City picks and predictions

Prediction

Bayern Munich 2, Manchester City 1

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN BAYERN MUNICH (+165).

Bayern isn’t going to be a consensus play here, but City is up a large amount and will likely be in more of a park-the-bus mode. Also, the 3-0 scoreline City put on Bayern is a bit overstated as Bayern did control possession and had just 5 fewer shots.

They did compete well on the road and haven’t lost a league match at home. They have outscored Champions League opponents 11-0 at home and took down PSG, a top French side, 2-0.

City has been on a tear, but this will be their 4th game in 11 days. They could have some tired legs as they look to advance. Although I fully expect City to advance, take BAYERN MUNICH (+165) given how well they played in the 1st leg and at home.

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN UNDER 3.5 (-165).

City has an ultra-efficient offense and has scored 3 or more in 6 straight games. While Bayern didn’t score against City in the 1st leg, they did have ample opportunities and should find the back of the net at least once.

The Over 2.5 line (-210) isn’t worth the risk. Bayern has an efficient and competent attack, but it has gone Under the 3.5 total in 5 of their last 7 matches. Considering the pace they will need to play at, it could open the home side up to ample counterattacks as well.

But ultimately, even considering the tempo of this game and both teams’ strength, hitting 4 goals seems a bit much, so LEAN UNDER 3.5 (-165).

Manchester City vs. Bayern Munich odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Manchester City vs. Bayern Munich odds and lines, with Champions League expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Manchester City welcomes Bayern Munich to Etihad Stadium Tuesday. Kickoff in the first leg of the UEFA Champions League quarterfinal is set for 3 p.m. ET. Below, we analyze BetMGM Sportsbook’s lines around the Manchester City vs. Bayern Munich odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Manchester City sits 2nd in the English Premier League and won Group G with a 4-0-2 record, outscoring opponents 14-2. City took down German side RB Leipzig, beating them 7-0 at home and drawing 1-1 on the road. City has won 8 straight games throughout all competitions and is 5-0-3 in their 8 Champions League matches.

Bayern Munich thrashed Group C, winning all 6 games and having a +16 goal differential. They had teams like Inter and Barcelona in the group as well. Bayern took down PSG in the Round of 16, beating them 1-0 and 2-0. The Bundesliga leaders have won all 8 Champions League matches and are 10-3-0 in their last 13 games throughout all competitions.

Manchester City vs. Bayern Munich picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester City 1, Bayern Munich 0

Moneyline (ML)

LEAN MANCHESTER CITY (-135).

City has been an absolute force at home, winning 12 of 14 EPL games. They have also won all 4 Champions League games at home, taking down teams like RB Leipzig and Borussia Dortmund. They have scored 17 goals in 4 home games and allowed just 2.

While Bayern will pose a more difficult challenge, City has home wins over Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool this season. Bayern has shown some flaws lately as well, losing 2 of the last 4 games.

City’s home dominance speaks for itself, and it was similar last season. They won both their quarterfinal and semifinal home match, losing 2 on the road to Real Madrid to be eliminated.

The body of work speaks for itself, and despite the juice, take MANCHESTER CITY (-135).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Both Bayern and City have elite defenses, and I expect them to be on display in this match. There should also be a feel-out period as these teams aren’t too familiar with each other. Given this is also the 1st leg, teams may play more conservatively.

Bayern went Under in both games against PSG, one of the best clubs in the world. City has 5 clean sheets in the last 7 games and is allowing just .93 goals per game in league play. They allowed 1 goal in both Round of 16 games to Leipzig. Bayern is allowing just 1.07 goals per game and didn’t give up a single goal to PSG, who has a trio of F Neymar, F Kylian Mbappe and F Lionel Messi.

Expect solid defense and a slower-paced 1st leg. Back the UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Manchester City vs. RB Leipzig odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Tuesday’s Manchester City vs. RB Leipzig odds and lines, with Champions League expert picks, predcitions and best bets.

Manchester City hosts RB Leipzig in the 2nd leg of the Champions League Round of 16 on Tuesday. Kickoff from Etihad Stadium is set for 4 p.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Manchester City vs. RB Leipzig odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

Manchester City enters off a 1-0 road victory over Crystal Palace Saturday courtesy of a 78th-minute penalty kick from F Erling Haaland. It dominated the EPL affair with 14 shots (4 on target) and 68% possession to Crystal Palace’s 4 shots (0). The Citizens won their only other March game, a 2-0 triumph over visiting Newcastle United on March 4.

RB Leipzig knocked off Borussia Monchengladbach 3-0 on Saturday in Bundesliga action, with all 3 goals coming in the 2nd half. Leipzig controlled possession (67%) and had 14 shots (9 on target) compared to Monchengladbach’s 7 shots (3). It is 1-1 in March as it suffered a 2-1 loss at Borussia Dortmund on March 3.

The 1st leg between these clubs was a 1-1 draw in Germany on Feb. 22. Man City found the back of the net in the 27th minute (F Riyad Mahrez) and Leipzig evened the score in the 70th minute (D Josko Gvardiol). City had a possession advantage (62%) and had 90% pass accuracy along with 12 shots (3 on target) to Leipzig’s 7 shots (4).

Manchester City vs. RB Leipzig picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester City 2, RB Leipzig 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

Man City (-290) has been in great form recently, picking up 4 wins and 1 draw in its last 5 games, and is justifiably a massive favorite. However, risking nearly 3 times your potential return — even at the Etihad — is not a sound betting strategy.

Over/Under (O/U)

PASS.

Both teams have been creating many offensive opportunities in their previous matches and that should be no different as they look to emerge from this aggregate. Man City is trying to avoid its first last-16 exit since the 2016-17 campaign. City is also chasing history in front of the home crowd as it could equal Arsenal’s record for the longest unbeaten run at home in the Champions League at 23 games with at least a draw.

With everything at stake in this game, expect a lot of action, enough to make a LEAN to the OVER 2.5 (-150).

Manchester City vs. Newcastle United odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Manchester City vs. Newcastle United odds and lines, with EPL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Manchester City (17 wins, 4 losses, 4 draws) welcomes Newcastle United (10-2-11) Saturday. Kickoff from Etihad Stadium is set for 7:30 a.m. ET (USA Network). Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Manchester City vs. Newcastle United odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Manchester City sits 2nd in the EPL, trailing Arsenal by 5 points. They are 10-1-1 at home this season and are averaging 2.56 goals per game, allowing 1 goal per game. They are led in scoring by F Erling Haaland, who has 27 goals in 24 matches. City’s +39 is the league’s best goal differential.

Newcastle sits 5th on the table with the league’s 3rd-best goal differential at +20. They have allowed just 15 goals, the fewest in the league, and scored 35. Newcastle is led by F Miguel Almiron, who has scored 10 goals in 23 matches.

Manchester City vs. Newcastle United picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester City 1, Newcastle United 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

I like Newcastle to get a result here, but I wouldn’t bet it. City has been too dominant at home to play even a sprinkle on Newcastle or the draw.

However, if you’re feeling risky, Newcastle has drawn both Man United and Arsenal on the road this season and has a draw already with Man City. They have also drawn 3 of their last 4 league matches.

Again, this is ultimately a pass for the suggestion, but a Draw (+390) does have some value.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Newcastle has the best defense in the EPL and has gone Under this total in 8 of their last 9 matches throughout all competitions. Their draws against Man U and Arsenal, both of the road, were 0-0 results.

While the last match between these 2 was a 3-3 finish, Newcastle had just 5 shots on target while City had 10. That type of accuracy is unlikely on Saturday. Also, the Newcastle defense has looked quite a bit better since that Aug. 21, 2022, battle.

Man City also has the 3rd-best defense in the EPL and has allowed 2 or more goals in just 4 home matches while having also pitched 4 home clean sheets. The defenses here should provide value on the plus-money Under.

Back the UNDER 2.5 (+120).

Analyzing Wednesday’s RB Leipzig vs. Manchester City odds and lines, with Champions League expert picks, predictions and best bets.

RB Leipzig welcomes Manchester City to Red Bull Arena Leipzig on  Wednesday. Kickoff is set for 3 p.m. ET (CBS SPorts Network). Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the RB Leipzig vs. Manchester City odds, and make our best Champions League bets, picks and predictions.

This match, and the Inter vs. Porto match, are the final 1st leg Round of 16 battles for the UEFA Champions League. Second legs kick off March 2.

RB Leipzig sits 5th in the Bundesliga and has won 7 of 10 home games. They average 2.05 goals and allow 1.24 goals per game in league play. Leipzig finished 2nd in Group F behind Real Madrid. In their 6 group stage matches, they scored 13 goals and allowed 9.

Manchester City scored 14 and allowed 2 as they finished atop Group G with 4 wins and 2 draws. Their +12 goal differential was only beaten by Napoli (+14) and Bayern Munich (+16). City sits 2nd in the EPL this season and is 6-3-3 away from home.

RB Leipzig vs. Manchester City picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester City 3, RB Leipzig 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

While the Arsenal onslaught in the EPL has overshadowed City’s play, their offense has been elite, scoring 2.5 goals per game this season. They have won 5 of their last 7 games throughout all competitions and are clearly the more talented side.

However, in the group stage last season, they had fewer expected goals when taking on Leipzig on the road and ended up losing 2-1. While City will be a popular favorite, pass on the moneyline here. Red Bull Arena has been a difficult place to win this season, but betting against City also isn’t a wise move.

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 2.5 (-135).

In the 2 games between these teams last season, there were 12 goals scored, and in each game, both teams has more than 1 expected goal. On top of that, City’s defense has taken a step back, averaging 1 goal per game allowed which doesn’t compare favorably to the .68 they allowed per game last season.

The absence of M Kevin de Bruyne could be beneficial here as well with M Phil Foden potentially sliding in and producing a more offense-focused style of play. That said, Leipzig is averaging 2.05 goals per game which is similar to last season’s 2.12. They scored 2 goals per game on City in 2 matchups.

Put it all together, and back the OVER 2.5 (-135).

Arsenal vs. Manchester City picks and predictions

Prediction

Arsenal 2, Manchester City 1

Moneyline (ML)

BET ARSENAL (+200).

Arsenal has beaten Liverpool, Chelsea, Manchester United, West Ham and Tottenham at home this season. They have played well and have had success against top-tier clubs. The key here is in the midfield, and the combination of M Granit Xhaka and Odegaard has proven to be as good as any other in the EPL.

With City D John Stones out, they may struggle as contain a balanced Arsenal attack. City has lost to Tottenham, Liverpool and Man U on the road this season. Their struggles away from home have been well documented.

Put it all together and back ARSENAL (+200).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-115).

Both teams have talented attacks and should be able to get ample opportunities. Arsenal is averaging 2.19 goals per game. They have scored 3 or more goals in 2 of their last 4 home games and have topped this total in 3 of their last 5 home games.

City has had at least an expected goal in all but 1 road match this season. They have had at least 2 expected goals in 2 of their last 4 road matches. City is averaging 2.55 goals per game.

The dominant attacks should produce goals in this game. Back the OVER 2.5 (-115).

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester City odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Sunday’s Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester City odds and lines, with EPL expert picks, predictions and best bets.

Manchester City (14 wins, 3 losses, 3 draws) battles Tottenham Hotspur (11-7-3) Sunday. Kickoff from Tottenham Hotspur Stadium is set for 11:30 a.m. ET (NBC).

Tottenham Hotspur vs. Manchester City picks and predictions

Prediction

Tottenham Hotspur 2, Manchester City 2

Moneyline (ML)

BET TOTTENHAM OR TIE (+105).

An option, instead of just taking the moneyline or Tottenham to win, is combining the 2. City has yet to go on the road and beat a top-5 team this season, losing to Man U and drawing Newcastle United 3-3. While they did beat Tottenham, the difference in location should be a factor here.

City’s defense also isn’t what it was a year ago. They allowed 26 goals in 38 games last season and have allowed 20 in 20 matches this year. They will be going against the EPL’s 3rd-best-scoring team which should expose those shortcomings.

While Tottenham is 0-2-0 against top-5 teams at home, they had .2 fewer expected goals than Arensal and more expected goals than Newcastle. They have played top teams closely at home, and for this value, back TOTTENHAM OR TIE (+105).

Over/Under (O/U)

LEAN OVER 2.5 (-150).

It is difficult to get there given the value, but the Over should be the better play. City scored 4 on Tottenham just a few weeks ago and has the league’s most dangerous attacker in Haaland. The league’s top-two scorers should be active for this game, combining for 37 goals on the season.

City has gone Over this total in 3 straight EPL games, scoring 3 or more goals in their last 2. Tottenham has gone north of it in 8 of their last 11 matches. For a small unit given the value, back the OVER 2.5 (-150).

Manchester City vs. Tottenham Hotspur picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester City 3, Tottenham Hotspur 1

Moneyline (ML)

PASS.

I wouldn’t play City here, on the money line or spread. They are 0-1-1 at home in their last 2 home games, and that is enough uncertainty to avoid betting them at (-270).

Tottenham, also coming off a loss and having not played overly well away from home, doesn’t deserve any sprinkle at (+700).

Over/Under (O/U)

BET OVER 3.5 (+140).

While City hasn’t played overly well of late, they have scored 3 or more goals in 6 of 9 home games this season. They have scored 2 goals in their last 2 home games, but have 3.3 expected goals, and against a poor Tottenham defense, the goals should come in bunches.

Tottenham allows 1.42 goals per game. They also have an elite attack, averaging 1.95 goals per game. They have scored 2 or more goals in 5 of 9 road matches, so the Kane-led attack can still score on the road.

Couple both teams’ season-long trends in this position, and back the OVER 3.5 (+140).

Manchester United vs. Manchester City odds, picks and predictions

Analyzing Saturday’s Manchester United vs. Manchester City odds and lines, with MLS epxert picks, predictions and best bets.

Manchester United (11 wins, 4 losses, 2 draws) faces Manchester City (12-2-3) Saturday in the Manchester Derby.  Kickoff at Old Trafford is set for 7:30 a.m. ET. Below, we preview Tipico Sportsbook’s lines around the Manchester United vs. Manchester City odds, and make our best EPL bets, picks and predictions.

Manchester United heads into this match with 4 consecutive EPL victories, the past 3 matches of which it has kept a clean sheet.

The Red Devils have been resurgent lately, not only winning 4 in a row in the Premier League, but winning 8 in a row across all non-friendly competitions. That includes a 3-0 victory over Charlton in the Carabao Cup on Tuesday.

Man City has registered at least 2 goals in each of the past 3 matches with ManU across all competitions and has registered a clean sheet in 5 of the last 6 meetings between these sides. In addition, City is undefeated in 27 of the past 29 matches overall in EPL play.

City was surprised 2-0 by Southampton Wednesday in the quarter-finals of the Carabao Cup. The Citizens have 4 wins, 2 losses and a draw across their last 7 matches across all non-friendly competitions.

Manchester United vs. Manchester City picks and predictions

Prediction

Manchester United 1, Manchester City 1

Moneyline (ML)

Manchester United (+310) is a tempting play for a chance to more than triple up on the 3-way line. The Red Devils have been on fire lately, and they catch the Citizens coming off a stunning 2-0 loss to Southampton.

However, the best play is a DRAW (+295). We have 2 of the top 4 teams in the EPL table squaring off, and ManU brings its best team into the derby in a couple of seasons. Man City has posted a 4-1-1 record in the past 6 visits to Old Trafford, but victory won’t be in the offing for this match.

Over/Under (O/U)

Play the UNDER 2.5 GOALS (+125) for a chance at plus money.

In each of the past 6 meetings at Old Trafford we have seen 2 or fewer goals, and, and Man City has kept a clean sheet in 5 of the past 6 away matches against ManU.
