Manchester City vs. Burnley FC
Saturday, October 16, 2021 – 10:00 AM EDT at Etihad Stadium
Form, Mentality, Premier League Odds & Trends
⦁ Manchester City have averaged 4.40 goals during their home fixtures
⦁ Manchester City are unbeaten at halftime in their previous 13 EPL fixtures
⦁ Manchester City have kept a clean sheet in their previous 4 EPL home games
⦁ Burnley have won a mere 4 games from their previous 24 games in all competitions
Another Goal Fest for Manchester City
Burnley’s history at the Etihad may strike fear into goalkeeper Nick Pope, as the home side has produced thirty goals in their previous eight meetings with Burnley, including four 5-0 losses when clashing with City away from home.
The high-flying offense under Pep Guardiola’s wings hasn’t slowed down this season, scoring 22 goals in their home fixtures alone.
The international break hasn’t treated City well, with the late arrivals of Jesus and Ederson and an injury-ridden Ferran Torres who’ll be sidelined for over a month. However, the talent pool inside Manchester has more than enough firepower to deliver yet another lopsided beating.
Final Thoughts
The Clarets can’t expect much from this weekend’s meeting; with a high-scoring affair expected on City’s behalf, there’s great value to be had in them winning both halves.
5-0 victories over Norwich and Arsenal, including results that witnessed City put six goals beyond the goalkeepers of Wycombe and RB Leipzig, is a highlight reel season that we expect to continue against Burnley this weekend.
Manchester City vs. Burnley Score Prediction: Manchester City 4 – Burnley 0

Borussia Dortmund vs. FSV Mainz
Saturday, October 16, 2021 - 09:30 AM EDT at Signal Iduna Park
Light Work for Haaland & Co.
A trend that sees Borussia Dortmund hold an undefeated record in 18 of their previous 21 fixtures can give many thanks to their prolific goalscorer Erling Haaland. He’s currently topping the Bundesliga goalscoring tally with seven goals, with three assists for good measure.
Of course, Dortmund isn’t a one-man band, as Marco Rose’s men have shown remarkable consistency inside their attacking prowess. However, the defensive structure of Dortmund has a lot to be desired, allowing at least one goal to be scored in nine of their previous ten fixtures in all competitions.
Mainz began their 2021/22 Bundesliga tenure with positive results; unfortunately, that early success has dwindled into a winless streak spanning across their last three meetings. This current form doesn’t bode well for Mainz, who is now faced with one of the division’s top contenders.
Final Thoughts
Value is scarce, and we can’t blame the oddsmakers for putting a hefty price tag on the Dortmund money line. Predicting Dortmund to win but concede a goal seems like a viable choice to raise our return and avoid damaging our year-to-year return on investment.
Dortmund wins a lot, but they’ve also allowed thirteen goals throughout seven domestic fixtures this term, backing up our selection for this matchup.
Dortmund vs. Mainz Score Prediction: Dortmund 4 - Augsburg 1
Soccer Pick: Dortmund to Win & BTTS 2.25 (+225) at Intertops [1u wager returns 2.25u]
Rayo Vallecano vs. Elche CF
Sunday, October 17, 2021 - 08:00 AM EDT at Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas
Vallecano to Maintain Their 100% Home Record
Surprise entry to the top of this season’s La Liga table, Rayo Vallecano, has thrived on home turf. In addition to their undefeated home record, they’ve managed to score two or more goals in their previous three domestic fixtures played at the Campo de Fútbol de Vallecas.
Elche continues to struggle, having claimed a mere 2 wins from their first 8 La Liga fixtures. It’s hard to envision the current form of Elche walking into Rayo Vallecano territory and collecting a result, and for this reason, I see value in the home team money line.
Rayo Vallecano vs. Elche CF Score Prediction: Rayo Vallecano 2 – Elche CF 0
Soccer Pick: Rayo Vallecano to Win 1.80 (-125) at Intertops [1.25u wager returns 1u of profit]
