A change of tac for this bet for no other reason than a bit of variety. This does not mean however that no research has been done, I have looked at the form mainly for Manchester City in their away game Half time/Full time results focusing mainly on the number of times they have been leading at half time.
Of the 15 away games played this season Manchester City have been leading at half time 8 times and all of them have been “to Nil” this is a percentage of 53%. If we now look at the percentage of Aston Villa losing at Half time we see that it is nearly 30% and their first half goals scored average is just 35% of all home goals scored suggesting that when they do score goals at home they are usually scored in the second half. Having convinced my self that Manchester will more often than not be leading at half time I took a look at the previous meetings of these two sides and in the previous 3 games, 1 league game and 1 FA cup tie Man City were leading to nil at half time only conceding 1 goal in the 90th minute to a penalty in the league game and leading 2-1 in a league cup tie at half time which was the final score.
