Premier League Picks: Manchester City vs. Burnley Analysis, Odds & Betting Strategy

Manchester City's start to the season has been a rollercoaster, but their form at the Etihad against weaker opposition is undeniable, as evidenced by a 3-0 victory against local rivals Manchester United. City also steamrolled Wolves 4-0  away on opening day. On Saturday September 27, 2025, Manchester City host a Burnley side that has struggled to find its feet in the Premier League. The correct score market offers a great opportunity to back a comfortable City win with fantastic odds.

Based on the attached predictions grid, here are four of the best bets to make:

Manchester City vs. Burnley: Correct Score Betting Strategy

Our strategy focuses on four scorelines that have the highest probability, all of which align with a dominant performance from Manchester City. We will use a $50 staking plan to secure at least a 100% profit if any of our main bets hit.

Manchester City look set to dominate Burnley in Saturday Premier League action.

1. Manchester City 2-0

• Probability: 12%
• Odds: +550

According to the predictions grid, a 2-0 City victory is the most likely outcome of the match. While City has been leaky at times, their home form has been stellar, and they will be eager to get a clean sheet against a Burnley side that lacks a significant attacking threat. At +550 odds, this bet offers a solid return for the most probable scoreline.

2. Manchester City 3-0

• Probability: 10%
• Odds: +600

Coming in as the second most likely result, a 3-0 City win offers even better value at +600. City's attack is world-class, and we've already seen them score at least three goals in a match twice this season. Burnley's defense has conceded eight goals in five games, and they could be overwhelmed by the likes of Erling Haaland, Phil Foden, and others.

3. Manchester City 4-0

• Probability: 7%
• Odds: +900

If City's attack really clicks, a 4-0 scoreline is a very real possibility. They've already put four goals past Wolves this season, and a similar result against a struggling Burnley is entirely within the realm of possibility. With a 7% probability, these +900 odds are excellent for a bet that could land a significant payout.

4. Manchester City 5-0

• Probability: 6%
• Odds: +1600

A 5-0 win is a longshot, but the grid still gives it a 6% chance of hitting, making it a very tempting bet at +1600. This is the kind of scoreline that can happen when a top-tier team is firing on all cylinders against a struggling side. If City get an early goal and Burnley's defense crumbles, a huge scoreline is not out of the question.
