Manchester City to Win & BTTS<\/strong><\/td>\n23\/10 @ AK Bets<\/a>
(30.3%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nNewcastle are likely to approach the match with an attacking mindset as they attempt to overturn the deficit against Manchester City. The Magpies have players capable of causing problems for City\u2019s defence, particularly when exploiting space behind a high line. However, City\u2019s attacking quality in the final third may allow them to maintain control of the tie and secure progression on aggregate. The conditions point toward a relatively open contest, with goals possible for both sides.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Bernardo Silva anytime assist<\/strong><\/td>\n23\/4 @ BetMGM<\/a>
(14.8%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBernardo Silva looks a little overpriced in the anytime assist market, with 23\/4 on show. Those odds imply a 14.8% chance of success on Wednesday, which looks a little big considering this could be a high-scoring contest. Bernardo has recorded an assist in three of his nine league starts at the Etihad this season, giving plenty of appeal to the price on show with BetMGM.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
