Burnley hosts Manchester City at the Turf Moor in a game from the first round of the Premier League 2023/24 season. The reigning champion starts its new campaign with a tough visit. How will Pep Guardiola’s team do on Friday? Let’s preview it in our betting on goal scorers in soccer matches.
Burnley’s manager Vincent Kompany will face his former team – the club which considers him a legend. It’d be interesting to see how the coaching duel between him and Guardiola will go.
On the transfer market Burnley made some strong moves. The club acquired the services of Turkish striker Zeki Amdouni but also Man City’s talented goalkeeper James Trafford. The two central defenders Jordan Beyer and Dara O’Shea also joined the club’s ranks.
Burnley are one of the newcomers in the league this season, but they are usually a tough opponent.
Manchester City made some changes in their squad after winning the treble last season. Players like Gundogan, Mahrez and Mendy left the club, but Mateo Kovacic and Josko Gvardiol joined the squad. The latter even became the most expensive defender in history of football.
Manchester City started their new season with a defeat, though. They lost the Community Shield game against Arsenal at the Wembley. Cole Palmer scored a beautiful goal to open the score, but Trossard equalised for Arsenal. The game went to penalties where Arsenal performed better and won.
City’s captain Kevin De Bruyne started from the bench against Arsenal, but most likely the Belgian playmaker will be in the line-up at the Turf Moor. We also expect to see Ederson to return at his usual position as the starting goalkeeper. Phil Foden could also find a place in the line-up instead of Julian Alvarez.
That’s our betting on goal scorers in soccer matches guide for the Premier League match between Burnley and Manchester City. Good luck!
