I almost feel like it’d be negligent not to bet on the season-opening match on Friday. With that being said, I’m not just locking this bet in because I want the sweat; I’m actually confident in the wager itself. Kickoff for this matchup of the champions is set for 3:00 p.m. ET from Turf Moor in Burnley.
I think we’re in for a goal-fest on Friday, so I’m taking the over. To get rid of some of the juice, I’ll play the Asian total at 2.75 goals. Essentially, this match could be one where Manchester City puts up four goals by themselves. They’re coming off of that fantastic season in 2022-2023 where they netted 94 goals and won the PL with relative ease. With Erling Haaland coming off of a league-leading 36-goal performance, I think he’ll get off to a hot start and lead the charge here.
On the flip side, I’m confident that Burnley will be able to hold their own and find the back of the net. For starters, they’re playing in front of their home crowd and this building will be rocking. They were a force offensively last year in the Championship, leading the second-tier league in goals with 87. Look for Vincent Kompany’s men to build off of that success in this spot and help contribute to the total. Give me the over!
Bet: Over 2.75 Goals (-140)
