Manchester City take on the visitors Brighton in the postponed round 30 match of English Premier League. The match will be played on Wednesday, April 20th at Etihad Stadium (Manchester).
Manchester city have reached the 1/2 of Champions League a week ago. In the quarterfinals, it was possible to overcome a serious opponent - Atlético. There, with considerable difficulty, it turned out to score the only goal to Oblak in Manchester. In Madrid, Pep Guardiola showed that he could step on the throat of his favorite football song - his team played quite strictly and restrainedly, and eventually ended up in a goalless draw that suits them. On the weekend Citizens lost to the Reds, conceding three times in the 1st half - as a result, everything ended with a relegation in the cup semi-finals. To retain the title, the Blue Moon need to win every Premier League game. Not the easiest, but still quite real task for De Bruyne and the company.

After a pause for international matches, there was only a goalless draw with Norwich, the worst team of this season, many decided that Brighton would simply finish the game, or even torment the current Premier League draw, realizing that the worst would not happen, and there would be no relegation. But in both last rounds the club created real sensations. On April 9, they managed to beat Arsenal in London: Mwepu first assisted Trossard, and then scored himself, and all that the Gunners did was score a prestige goal in the 89th minute. A week later, also in the capital, the Seagulls again reminded of their ability to play to the end and score goals before the final whistle. And Trossard became the hero again, on account of which the only goal with Tottenham. This month's breakthrough helped them reach the 40-point mark and climb to the top of the standings.
Manchester City have won 9 of the last 10 head-to-heads between the teams. But the only exception was last May's bout, when the benevolent champion allowed the hosts to go 3-2 at Amex. Manchester City will definitely not have Mendy, but not for health reasons, but only Walker and Palmer are in question. Brighton will not have Duffy, Moder and possibly Alzate. Bookmakers do not believe that Brighton will continue their streak. Manchester City is well aware that any misfire, any draw can be fatal. We recommend betting on the “citizens” with a handicap.
Prediction for the match: Manchester City to win with -1.5 handicap.
