Manchester City are still strong favourites to win a fourth consecutive Premier League title despite a couple of hiccups before the international break. The Cityzens were six wins from six before heading to Molineux and coming off worse when losing by a 2-1 scoreline. They were also edged out at the Emirates and now look to bounce back against Brighton.
The latest betting odds suggest that a victory is likely. Rodri returns from suspension and the midfielder has been sorely missed in the engine room, with the Spaniard providing solidity in the middle of the park along with a scoring threat. Erling Haaland has been noticeably quiet in recent games although he could be back among the goals here.
Julian Alvarez has been looking sharper than his team-mate in attack, although Brighton could have their work cut out and it’s worth noting that they are conceding an average of two goals per game right now. Although five of their eight clashes have ended in a victory, there hasn’t been a single clean sheet in the Premier League.
On the flip side, Albion have scored in every top-flight clash and perhaps we can look at backing a Manchester City win along with both teams finding the net. It could be the way to go for a profit, with the correct score market yielding a number of attractive options and perhaps a 3-1 victory in favour of the champions could end up being the bet.
