Bet: Total Match Goals Under 2.5

Official season for Steaua Bucharest began month ago in mid-July.

Since then the team plays two matches in a week. In order of sports betting you know that Steaua overcame Sparta Praha from Czech Republic (1-1 away and 2-0 home) in third qualifying round of Champions League. Moreover in the first three matchdays of the Romania League Laurentiu Reghecampf’s boys produced three wins in a row with a total score of 6-1 beating Viitorul, Botosani and Concordia.

In turn Man City only past weekend held the first official match of the season, remember that when you’re betting. Citizens in the very hard battle on Saturday defeated Sunderland 2-1 in the first matchday of Premier League. Amazing that at the beginning of the match Aguero scored a penalty but in the middle of the second half Defoe equalized. Only three minutes before the end an own goal by McNair gave Man City the first victory with new coach Pep Guardiola at the helm of the team. This is important in the process of betting.

Probably, Englishmen are not yet ready for the season so in the play-off round of Champions League they will not be in good mood. Moreover when you are bet remember that Citizens only now are in the process of adaptation to the new Guardiola requirements. By the way, against Sunderland in the first eleven only two new players appeared - centreback Stones and left winger Nolito. Besides newly signed Sane was not even in the application and Gyundogan was injured. Interestingly, to bet correctly, also team leader Yaya Toure absent as well as left-back Kolarov played in central defense zone, while the main central defender Otamendi was on the bench. All these Guardiola rearrangement will be on hand Steaua which need a result at home to keep the chances of reaching the group before the away match.

However bookmakers do not see a chance for the home team betting on guests: Steaua - 7.00-7.50; draw - 4.00-4.50; Man City - 1.44. Of course Citizens are much stronger. Moreover it is important for Guardiola to reach a group stage of Champions League immediately and not to start career in the new club with failure. May be you can take a bet “Double Chance: Steaua Bucharest or draw” (2.45-2.80) but it seems as a risky one. Man City in Romania will be concentrated on result so we won’t see many goals. That’s why it’s reasonably to take Total Match Goals Under 2.5 (2.05-2.10).
