Wigan v Man City Betting Offer

Wigan welcome Man City to the JJB Stadium on Sunday and with this game live on Sky Sports, there is sure to be plenty of betting interest as punters tune in to watch a Man City side eager to make an impact on the Premier League’s top four following their recent take over. All eyes will be once again on Robinho who has scored two goals in two league starts for the Blues and is a 13/2 chance with Bet365 to score the first goal on Sunday. Fellow Brazillian, Jo, has also showed signs that he is hitting goal scoring form and he is 11/2 to open the scoring in this match.

Whilst most people will be expecting City to win this match, Wigan should not be underestimated. They have a number of good players and more than capable of upsetting the visitors. Wigan are 2/1 to win the match and that is sure to make plenty of appeal for some punters. Man City are likely to feature on many coupons at odds of 11/8 and the draw is 23/10. Amr Zaki is the main goalscoring threat for Wigan, having netted four goals in Wigan’s opening five league games and the Egyptian forward could well be worth a couple of quid to score the first goal of this game at 6/1.

Bet365 refund all correct score, half time/full time and scorecast bets if any game finishes 0-0.

Nicosia v Man City Uefa Cup Betting Offer

Manchester City set out on the trail to add their first bit of silverware to the City of Manchester Stadium trophy cabinet since the much publicised takeover over by the Abu Dhabi United Group. Mark Hughes’s side are currently best price 16/1 with Stan James to win the competition in Istanbul in May, but there is a long way to go before then and they must get off to a win in Cyprus against Omonia Nicosia if they are to progress in the competition. The Blues are 8/11 to win the first leg of this tie with new signing Robinho a popular 9/2 bet to score the first goal of the game. The class difference between these two sides should be evident and a 2-0 Man City win at 6/1 makes the most appeal in the correct score betting market.

Man City v Chelsea Odds and Money Back Offer

Man City v Chelsea is the clash of the Premier League’s two richest clubs and until transfer deadline day, this would have just been another game. However, events at the City of Manchester Stadium last week meant that Chelsea and owner Roman Abramovich, were knocked off their perch as the wealthiest club in the Premiership. Man City are now the richest team in the league thanks to the take over from new owners Abu Dhabi United, the owner of which, Dr Sulaiman Al Fahim, is reported to be worth ten times more than Chelsea’s Abramovich. The news of the takeover was still breaking before the cheque book was out in the blue half of Manchester and City had hijakced Chelsea’s bid to sign Robinho from Real Madrid - for a British transfer record, £32 million. Leaving Chelsea without their man!

In an ironic twist, Saturday’s game will be the first for Man City under its new ownership as well as being Robinho’s debut. Thus it is no surprise that the game is on TV and bookmakers are competiting for the increased business as a result of the huge interest in this game. Paddypower will be refunding first goalscorer, last goalscorer, correct score and scorecast bets on this game if Robinho scores at any time during the game (for either team!).

Chelsea are favourites to win the game with Paddypower at odds of 4/5, whilst Man City are 7/2 with the draw available at 23/10. The odds are sure to split opinions with Chelsea much bigger than normal for this game but equally, plenty of punters will be eager to back City if they believe that the renaissance can begin immediately. All eyes will be Roninho, who is 10/1 to score the first goal or 4/1 to score at any time. Shaun Wright Phillips recently left Stamford Bridge for Manchester and is 14/1 to score the first goal after netting a brace on his debut last time out. Chelsea’s biggest threat comes in the form of a former Man City player, Nicolas Anelka, who is currently up front on his own, whilst Didier Drogba recovers from injury; the French striker is sure to attract plenty of backers at 11/2.
