Matchweek 13 of the Premier League has arrived as Leeds make the trip to the Etihad Stadium to take on Man City on Saturday.
The Citizens currently sit in third place in the table, with 22 points from 12 games. After a decent start, Leeds have slipped into the bottom three, sitting in 18th place with 11 points from 12 matches.
City are -390 favorites on the moneyline for this one on DraftKings Sportsbook, with a draw available at +550. Fancy a Leeds upset? The newly promoted side are +950 to pick up three points.
Man City vs. Leeds Prediction, Pick
This bet can be found under the “Match Parlays” tab. Man City have been excellent in front of their home fans this season, winning five of their six matches. Their lone defeat was all the way back in August at the hands of Tottenham. Since then, the Etihad has become a fortress and I think it will continue to be that on Saturday. City have scored goals for fun in Manchester, with 16 of their 24 goals scored being at home.
On the other side of the coin, Leeds have been a bottom three team in the league away from home this season. In six games, they have won once and lost five. Their sole road victory was against the worst team in the league, Wolves.
City are coming into this one off the back of a 2-1 defeat to Newcastle, but going to St James’ Park is a tough match for any club. Their 24 goals scored this season are tied with Arsenal for the best mark in the league. Leeds have conceded 22, with only three sides allowing more.
City have won each of the last four Premier League meetings between these teams, with three or more goals being scored in every game. After resting most of their starters in their midweek Champions League game against Bayer Leverkusen, they should be ready to get back on track in style on Saturday.
