Sports betting players have watched Manchester City surge into the top four of the Premiership since Roberto Mancini took over for Mark Hughes, but they’ll face a scrappy Everton team on the road this weekend.
Man City vs Everton betting – Saturday, January 16, 12:30 PM ET
Carlos Tevez hit a hat trick in a 4-1 romp over Blackburn on Monday, and Man City looks to be in good shape even without Emmanuel Adebayor, who was involved in that attack on the Togo bus at the African Cup of Nations. Man City is 4-0 under Mancini’s watch, and he also brought former Arsenal legend Patrick Vieria to the fold as Vieria played for him at Inter Milan. Vieria strengthens an already solid midfield, and with renewed confidence, soccer betting players should definitely consider Man City’s odds in your sportsbook.
Everton has a new signing of their own in American international Landon Donovan, who plays with David Beckham in Los Angeles. Donovan played extremely well in his debut, a 2-2 draw at home against Arsenal in a game the Toffees should have won, but it’s encouraging that he formed a good partnership with midfielder Tim Cahill. Everton has scored just 28 goals in 20 games this season, and any added scoring touch would give their soccer betting odds to play in a European competition next season a boost.
Sports betting odds are favouring Man City at +162 away from home, while Everton comes in at +195, and a draw comes in at +242. Most betting tips would tell you to bet on the home team, especially when you see that Everton has won six and drawn one of their last 10 against Man City. But the Blues won last year’s trip to Goodison Park by a score of 2-1, and they’ve lost just twice away from the City the Manchester Stadium this season. Mancini is one of the best coaches in all of Europe, and while David Moyes of Everton is a solid manager in his own right, Mancini has Man City flourishing right now. Man City has scored at least twice in four of their last five matches, and they’ve kept a clean sheet in three of their last five, all under Mancini. With Everton’s goal-scoring problems, go with the boys from Manchester to keep their streak going.
Internet sports betting pick: Man City +162
