Manchester City want to fulfill their duty

Manchester City want to fulfill their duty against Luton Town and score a three-pointer. Mistakes should be avoided anyway in the battle for the English championship and in this duel the role of favorite is as big as rarely before

But caution is always advised. Luton like to play bold and brash, even if the team is in a relegation battle. What’s more, this match is sandwiched between the two Champions League games against Real Madrid, so it’s particularly explosive

We recommend a bet on more than 3.5 goals before the game between Manchester City. Many bookmakers are of the opinion that this duel will be a tough one.

Manchester City – Statistics & current form

What was that spectacle again during the week? Manchester City and Real Madrid really gave it to each other in the 3-3 draw at the Bernabeu. Both played with an open goal, but now it’s back to the league for the hosts. And there City are in the middle of a three-way battle with Arsenal, who currently lead the table, and Liverpool. Mistakes are forbidden and should be avoided at all costs.

Especially against Luton, probably the biggest underdog in the English league in recent years. Everything speaks in favor of Manchester City, as Luton sometimes have odds of more than 30 on an away win. That is rare in this league. And that also applies if Man. City rotate a little. Players such as Rodri, Foden and Dias could be given a break and have even called for one recently.

The Skyblues are an absolute force at the Etihad Stadium. City have now not lost 40 home games in a row and even the best teams that have come to the Etihad have only managed a draw, if at all. Home strength could be the decisive factor in the title race if Guardiola’s side can continue to bring their class to the pitch so consistently

Manchester City hard to beat at the moment

City can be annoyed if their opponents have an outstanding day. However, the Sky Blues have now been unbeaten in the league for 16 games and have often given the impression of simply being too dominant. They have only conceded 13 goals at home and scored 38 of them themselves.

With their own fans behind them, the offense knows how to operate. That’s why this match could be very high-scoring. A prediction of more than 3.5 goals seems sensible, with Bet3000 offering odds of 1.77, for example. After all, three of the Sky Blues’ last five league games have surpassed this mark.

Predicted Manchester City line-up:

Luton – Statistics & current form

Luton Town, coach Rob Edwards’ team, are in the first relegation spot in the Premier League. However, their hopes of staying up are still alive with six matchdays to go, as Nottingham are level on points and Everton are just two points away. However, the Hatters have a few worry lines, which have only increased in recent weeks.

Apart from the 2-1 win over Bournemouth last weekend, the team has not picked up enough points. Everyone is now hoping that this narrow win can turn things around, but a lot needs to stabilize for that to happen. And against City there is always the danger of things going completely pear-shaped. LTFC have lost all of their last four games at City, conceding twelve goals in the process, and have never won against a reigning champion.

What’s more, the betting odds ahead of this clash between Manchester City and Luton are so clearly against the visitors that it’s almost absurd. No bookmaker is giving Luton a chance, as the odds for a draw are already in double figures

Luton still need to improve defensively

Luton have one task for the final weeks of the season: to improve defensively! The team has conceded a goal in every game so far and, together with Sheffield Wednesday, is the only team that has never conceded a goal. They have also lost three of their last five games.

Despite the massive underdog role, our value tip ahead of the match between Manchester City and Luton is that both teams will score. And for good reason: on the one hand, the visitors have conceded at least one goal nine times in their last ten games, while on the other hand, City may be able to make one or two more mistakes between the two games against Real Madrid with a lot of rotation

Manchester City – Luton betting tip

Manchester City have a lot in their own hands in this game against Luton. The record at home is overwhelming, but there have also been many positive results against this opponent recently. The Skyblues are the clear favorites, the visitors will have to play underdog soccer with pinpricks and hope for luck

Ahead of the match between Manchester City and Luton, our recommendation is to bet on more than 3.5 goals in this game.
