Sevilla vs. Manchester City Betting Tips: Two City based bets as they start their Champions League campaign

The greatest competition in club football is back once again for another season as Istanbul’s Ataurk Olympic Stadium will be hosting the 2022/2023 Champions League Final in Turkey on the 10th June next year.

Manchester City have yet to win this competition and once again are priced up at massive favourites, they are in Group G alongside Dortmund, Copenhagen and Julen Lopetegui’s Sevilla who host Pep Guardiola’s side at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan where the English club are expected to walk away with maximum points.

The Spanish club have had a terrible start to the La Liga season in Spain, just 1 point from a possible 12 sits them in 16th and were blown away by Xavi’s Barcelona in their own back yard in a 3-0 defeat just 3 days prior to this clash.

If anyone had any doubts regarding the Norwegian centre forward about adapting to the Premier League the 22 year old has quickly proven why Manchester City wanted his signature. Haaland has scored 10 times in just 6 appearances for the Citizens including 2 hat tricks, his record in the Champions League is just as impressive which is frightening for any opposition.

Across 3 seasons for Salzburg and Dortmund the striker scored 23 goals in just 19 appearances averaging 1.21 goals per game. With him now playing for arguably the greatest club side in world football he’ll be having a whole load of chances and should ultimately score even more goals.

Sevilla are as big as 8/1 to win on home turf which is a hefty price but with how they have started the season is somewhat understandable, on the other hand Man City are priced up at 4/11 and are expected to score at least 2 or 3 goals in Spain, with an inform Erling Haaland guaranteed to start on the night, I’m happy to get onside with him and his side to turn over a struggling Sevilla.

Two incredible players make up my bigger priced play for this clash at what I think is a very solid play at 9/2 with Betfair.

The Belgian is one of, if not the best passer of a football at this current time, he has registered 4 assists already this season in 6 appearances in the top flight with 2 of those leading to a goal from the new number 9. 

The only goal City scored on Saturday evening was combined with these two players as Haaland got on the end of a Kevin De Bruyne cross at the back post as they came away with a point against Aston Villa. 

With the Belgian having the capability of cutting through defences with his excellent passing precision and tremendous consistency in doing so, the price is too big to ignore. De Bruyne also takes plenty of set pieces for his side which provides us with even more of a chance in seeing this bet land in what should be a dominant display from the competition favourites.
