After Manchester City's loss at Cardiff last Sunday, we know what every small team will try to do against them: park the bus! The big difference is that Cardiff defended really well, but Manchester City also looked surprised with that. The good news about this loss is that Man City will be fired up to bounce back today. Hull City has already faced a top team on the road on Round 1, when they lost by 2-0 at Chelsea, which could have been like 4-0 or 5-0 at half time! Chelsea relaxed during the second half because they would be facing Aston Villa in middle of the following week and they didn't try to crush Hull. However, considering Man City's loss last week, that won't happen tonight. They will likely score first today and they'll keep trying to score more goals.
Hull City is coming from a home win against Norwich, where they played almost a hour with 10 men, as their striker Yannick Sagbo was sent-off. After that, Hull defended the result after scoring their goal via penalty kick, ending the game with just 39% ball possession and just 7 shots, while Norwich had 13. Of course Norwich's offense lacks the level of Man City's offense and Hull will struggle a lot more today. I expect Manchester City to enter today's game fired up, scoring early and then keep pressuring Hull for a blowout win today. Therefore, I'll be taking Man City today.
Pick: 3 units (Single Dime Play) on Manchester City (-2) @ +109 / 2.09 on Pinnacle OR +101 / 2.01 on 5Dimes
