Burnley vs Manchester City Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 11th August 2023

The start of Manchester City's title defence in the Premier League begins on the road this coming Friday. The reigning champions will have it tricky right off the bat. They'll go up against Burnley at the Turf Moor in what promises to be an exciting encounter.

Burnley are back in the Premier League and ready to take on Manchester City with high hopes for the season. Under the guidance of former City-player Vincent Kompany Burnley tore The Championship apart last season, winning by a canter. Taking on the champions of Europe is a different level, though, but this might be the right time to face the Citizens.

Manchester City enter their next Premier League match, with three trophies in the bag from last season. A triumphant haul for Guardiola and his men, but are they just as dangerous this season or has winning the Champions League taken the edge off?

Manchester City got the better of Burnley in their most recent meetings, as they first won 2-0, then 2-0.

Burnley vs Manchester City Prediction

Burnley Form

In their last three outings, Burnley won 0-1 against Blackburn, beat Bristol City by 1-2 and hammered Cardiff 3-0. Burnley won three of their previous six matches at Turf Moor in the Premier League. They drew zero and suffered three defeats, scoring eight goals to nine against.

A mid-table finish looks like the optimal outcome for Burnley in a season where they aim to keep the relegation line at bay in the Premier League.

Manchester City Form

Manchester City look well suited to take on any opponent presently, as their last three matches saw them gaining seven points. They ran out 2-1 and 1-0 winners against Manchester United and Inter, respectively. Their winning streak came to an end against Arsenal, who claimed a point in a 1-1 draw. Manchester City won four times in their last six away games in the Premier League, in which they drew once and lost once. They conceded four goals while scoring 11 themselves.

The big goal of the season for Manchester City has to be winning the title, with a place inside the top two expected as the Premier League action starts to unfold.

Manchester City should be able to strut their stuff against Burnley, but the latter will attempt to keep things tight. They want to avoid getting pummelled in front of their home crowd at Turf Moor.
