Strolling their way in the last few Premier League matches, Manchester City saw their positive run halted in the FA Cup last weekend as they were held by Championship side, Blackburn Rovers, which forced both teams to play another replay. Eager to redeem themselves from that slightly disappointing result, this Wednesday, January 8, Manuel Pellegrini’s men are targeting for nothing than a win when they play West Ham United in the first leg battle of Capital One Cup semifinals stage at Etihad Stadium.
West Ham themselves haven’t been having a bright results of late as their FA Cup campaign went disastrous after getting hammered 5-0 by Championship outfit, Nottingham Forest last weekend. That negative result surely isn’t something that can boost the players’ morale ahead of a very difficult contest against strong team such as Man City. This encounter should attract interest from football fans along with betting lovers, who are also keen on placing their money this midweek.
Checking out 888Sport’s football odds for this midweek encounter, Man City are strongly favored to take home all three points from that battle with the probabilities being placed at 1.17, which is far from any potential shock from West Ham as their winning shot is only valued at 15.00, while a draw result is set at 7.75. Still, in football many things can still occur, so chose your options wisely and just enjoy the game.
