PREVIEW
Brighton v Hull ending as a draw was a nice result for the column last night with a profit of 11.5 points to the recommended bet.
Huge match tonight at the Etihad as Man City host the mighty Barcelona in the first leg as the Champions League moves into the last 16 knockout phase.
The two teams have only ever met in friendlies before and never played competitively.
Both sides of course like scoring goals for fun. Man City’s six Champions League games this season have produced 25 goals whilst Barcelona have notched up 27 goals from their last nine matches.
It’s not unusual though for two high scoring teams producing a low goal count, as they tend to cancel each other out.
Man City have been dealt a blow with the news that striker Sergio Aguero misses the game with a hamstring injury.
City surely need to get something from this game to take to the Camp Nou – but we can easily see this ending as a stalemate. Whether it’s 0-0 or 5-5 we’re not sure so will stick with the straightforward DRAW option on BETDAQ.
RECOMMENDATION: (1-10 points)
