Poised For A Thriller At St James's Park
It's a goal-fest nearly every week with City so this is the obvious bet.
Manchester City are looking almost unstoppable at this moment in time but the odds on offer for them to win at St James’s Park are fairly uninspiring (8/11 Coral). The more lucrative option appears to be backing over 4.5 goals in the match at a best price of 18/5 with BetVictor.
The value in this bet seems undeniable when you consider that City’s 20 Premier League fixtures so far this season have yielded 80 goals; that’s nearly twice as many as Crystal Palace fixtures (42)! This would have been a winning bet nine times out of 20 with Pellegrini’s men. That would imply the odds should be near to evens, not approaching 4/1.
To enhance our prospects even more here, Newcastle Utd matches have also been pretty lively affairs for the most part in 2013-14. The Magpies have scored at least two in more than half their home games so we’re not fully reliant on the visitors to win this wager.
