Man City are as short as 1/10 to win their FA Cup replay against Blackburn at the Etihad tonight (8.10pm Ko, Live on ITV1) and it sould be a case of how many they win by.
They took the lead at Ewood Park in the 50th minute only to have a man sent off, and then settled for the draw knowing that they were capable of getting the job done in front of their home fans.
They have won 14 of their 15 competitive home games this season, with their only defeat coming against Bayern Munich in October.
They have also scored have scored 59 goals in their 15 competitive home games this season – an average of 3.9 per game – and that throws up what looks a better value bet than backing them to win outright at such cramped odds.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side can be backed at even money with Hills on the handicap (-2) and given their goal scoring record on their own patch that looks well worth a wager.
Edin Dzeko has also been in terrific form for City of late and has done especially well in cup competitions.
He looks a solid punt at 4/6 with bet365 and Stan James in the anytime scorer market, and I also wouldn’t put anyone also backing him to net the opener at the 100/30 on offer with bet365 and BetVictor.
