It’s not often that Man City are oustiders to win at home given their superb record at the Etihad, but they are tonight for their Champions League game against Bayern Munich (7.45pm KO, Live on Sky Sports 2) and I think the layers have got it right.
Bayern have won their last 6 Champions League games (16 goals for, 1 against) whereas City have won only 4 of their last 13 in the competition (4 draws, 5 defeats).
The visitors have also won all 4 of their Champions League games played outside the Allianz Arena in 2013, and have not failed to score in their last eight Champions League away games.
The stats also reveal that City boss Manuel Pellegrini lost 7 of his 8 encounters with Bayern boss Pep Guardiola in La Liga (1 draw), and the defending champions are the team to beat in Europe at the moment having dominated the last two competitions and been unfortunate not to win on both occasions.
They are a real class act and know what is required to get the job done, and at a best price of 7/5 with Coral are expected to beat the Citizens.
Arjen Robben has scored in each of his last 4 Champions League games with Bayern and at a general price of 8/1 looks well worth an each-way wager in the first goalscorer market.
The other bet that stands out liek a sore thumb is for both teams to score at a standout 3/5 with BetVictor in what promises to be an enthralling encounter with plenty of goal mouth action.
