The EPL’s second round program will be concluded by the match between Manchester City and Everton. Bookmakers in this couple reckon, that the Mancunians have great chances to defeat their opponents and it is hard to disagree with that, considering the Eagles’ squad and the team’s knowing, how to play at their home ground, but one should not forget, that Everton are not novices in the EPL, like Brighton, which were defeated by Man City without problems, but the Eurocup participant from England, the team, which already has good gaming tone.
Guardiola is not hiding, that his team is going after the championship title this season. He says, that many expected that of him last season already, but it didn’t happen, but this season it will. The beginning is fine for the Eagles this season – the 2:0 victory over Brighton away, but the Eagles didn’t show some great performance, won by class, and the trick may not work with the Toffees.
Last Thursday, Everton confidently defeated Hajduk at their home ground with a score of 2:0. Everton were active in the first half and in the second part of the match and they retained the opponents. The Toffees were stronger, than Ruzomberok in the third qualifying round of the Europa League, defeating the opponents twice with a score of 1:0. The same 1:0 score was in the EPL match against Stoke City.
Everton have everything in order defending their goal, while Manchester City still haven’t gained their maximum. In this situation Koeman’s men have chances to gain points, despite the away character of the match. In this couple, one may try betting on the outsider’s plus handicap, which have started very decently this season.
Prediction for the match: Everton to win with +2.25 Asian handicap.
