Bet on Man City vs Chelsea

Can City Stretch Unbeaten EPL Run to Six? 

Man City have had their issues this season, but they picked up their biggest league victory of the campaign last time out, thumping Ipswich Town 6-0 at Portman Road. However, they followed that up with a damaging defeat to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions League.

Chelsea ended a five-game winless streak in the league, easing to victory over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday. Tosin Adarabioyo, Marc Cucurella, and Noni Madueke got the goals in the 3-1 home win. Before that, Enzo Maresca’s side had drawn three and lost two of five in the EPL.  

Man City have left themselves with work to do to claim a top-four spot. If they lose to Chelsea this weekend, the Citizens will be five points behind the Blues.

With this mouth-watering match taking place at the Etihad, Man City are the favourites. Nevertheless, Chelsea will fancy their chances of taking a positive result back to Stamford Bridge.

Recent Manchester City vs Chelsea Head-to-Head Meetings

Man City picked up a 2-0 win at the Bridge at the start of the 2024-25 Premier League season. Erling Haaland opened the scoring in the first period, and Mateo Kovacic doubled City’s advantage late on.

The Manchester club have a good recent record against the London side, undefeated in ten. Chelsea’s last victory in this fixture was in the 2021 Champions League final in Porto.

Manchester City vs Chelsea Betting Tips & Predictions

Man City were outstanding at Ipswich last weekend, and Pep Guardiola’s men are now unbeaten in five Premier League games (three wins, two draws). Our money is going on the home win at 2.06.

Haaland was on target in the reverse fixture, and the Norway international has scored five goals in his last five league and cup outings for City. Haaland is priced at 1.80 to score anytime in this one.
