Manchester City
EnglandCurrent form
It seemed that the crisis at Manchester City was over, but recently the "citizens" have lost two matches to serious opponents, and there were outright failures in the game of defense. First, there was a defeat against PSG in the Champions League (2:4), and on the eve of the 24th round of the Premier League there was a complete failure with Arsenal (1:5). Both matches were played on the road, where, taking into account all the tournaments in the previous 10 matches, Josep Guardiola's team won only twice. As a result, Manchester City ranks only fifth in the Premier League standings and is two points behind Chelsea, which closes the top 4. In the Cup at the previous stage, the "townspeople" defeated the modest "Salford" from the Second League with a score of 8:0.
Disqualifications and injuries
Ake, Doku, Rodri, Dias, Bobb and Ederson will not be able to play today due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
- In four consecutive matches with the participation of Manchester City, an exchange of goals was recorded.
- At least four goals have been scored in the last five matches with the participation of the "citizens"
The approximate line–up: Ortega - O'Reilly, Stones, Simpson–Pusey –Nunes, McAtee, Gundogan, Grealish - Savinho, Lawrence – Mubama.

10.50Tip and bets
Manchester City have an important Champions League match against Real Madrid ahead of them, and obviously today's squad will be far from optimal. Leyton Orient is noticeably inferior in class, but at the same time it has a good defense and is quite capable of avoiding a major defeat. Moreover, the hosts, in any case, will be extremely motivated to prove themselves at their best in a game with such an eminent opponent. We recommend the forecast for the underdog in this pair.
Our forecast is a victory for Leyton Orient with an Asian handicap (+2.5) for a coefficient of 1.93
Bet on the total
Manchester City regularly makes unnecessary defensive mistakes and allows their opponents to score goals. In the four previous matches with the participation of the "citizens", there was an exchange of goals scored, which we do not exclude today.
The second bet is that both will score with a coefficient of 2.10
Betting on corners
Given their huge advantage in class, even if they are not playing with the main squad, Manchester City will spend a lot of time at other people's gates. In this scenario, the guests will definitely win on the corners.
Prediction – Manchester City win on corners with a handicap (-5.5) with a coefficient of 1.92
