Betting tips for Manchester City - FC Barcelona match

The hottest game of the IV round of the group stage of the UEFA Champions League will be the match between Manchester City and FC Barcelona. The Citizens will surely want a revenge for their trashing at the Camp Nou, but will the Catalan players let them do that? Here are the most interesting odds and our predictions for this game.

• Over 2,5        53/100 (1.53)       

Maybe the odds are not that amazing but we believe that there should be at least 3 goals in this game. The home team will want to compensate for their terrible performance in the first match with Blaugrana, which on the other hand posses amazing ability for easily creating goal-scoring opportunities. Last 6 / 7 Barcelona games are all Over 2,5 option and we think it should be no different on tuesday evening at Etihad Stadium.
 

• Barcelona Draw No Bet        4/5 (1.80)        BetVictor

City is in crisis at the moment, and we must say we are positively suprised by the odds offered by the bookmakers for this game. Guardiola men did not win in 6 consecutive games and we find it hard to believe it will change in the game with Spanish team, which is in great shape. In our opinion, Barcelona is an obvious favourite in this game.
 

• Barcelona to score first        8/11 (1.72)       

A pretty good odds from the Unibet bookmaker. City was the side to first concede goal in their last 5 games. It looks even better if we consider the direct matches between these teams - in their last 5 games with Manchester City, Barcelona scored first and even won all of them. It seems it should be the same this time too.
