UEFA Champions League Betting Odds: Monaco vs Manchester City

7bet offers competitive Monaco vs Manchester City betting odds.

1X2 Odds

The 1X2 market is commonly referred to as the three-way bet or the match winner bet. In this market, punters can pick one of three possible outcomes in Wednesday’s match:

• 1: Home team (Monaco) wins
• X: Draw
• 2: Away team (Manchester City) wins

Bets on Monaco have 17/3 odds, where the numerator is the expected return and the denominator indicates the required wager. This means if Monaco wins, you stand to profit £17 for every £3. Bookmakers also return the stake on winning bets, so your total payout becomes 17+3=£20.

Similarly, bets on Manchester City yield £2 for every £5, and successfully predicting a draw will give you £4 profit for every pound. Upon simplifying, you receive £5.6 per pound for Monaco’s win, £4 for a draw, and £0.4 for City’s win.

Before placing your bets, consider which outcome will give you value for money. Look at both teams’ head-to-head history, recent form, injuries, and lineup to decide which way to bet. Also, check whether a team has “long” or “short” odds. If it yields high returns, the odds are considered long. On the other hand, if a bet yields low returns, it has short odds. While long odds pay more, they have low chances of hitting. Similarly, short odds have a higher chance of being successful but pay less. You can combine the 1X2 bet with additional markets, such as BTTS or handicap, to increase potential returns.

Double Chance

The double chance market allows bettors to pick two options in a single combined wager:

• 1X: Home team (Monaco) wins or the match draws. This bet loses if Manchester City wins.
• X2: Draw or Away team (Manchester City) wins. This bet loses if Monaco wins.
• 12: Either team wins. This bet loses if the match draws.

This market is useful if you are uncertain about the outcome, as it lets you bet on two out of three possibilities. However, the odds in Double Chance are always short, meaning you won’t make much profit with this bet. Bookmakers offer lower returns on bets where the likelihood of winning is high.

Check both teams’ win-loss-draw record in the last 10 matches before considering this market. Monaco has 5 wins, 4 losses, and 1 draw in their last 10 matches, whereas Manchester City has 6 wins, 3 losses, and 1 draw in the same period. In their two head-to-head matches, both teams won one game each.

Draw No Bet

This is an ideal bet for cautious bettors as Draw No Bet removes the outcome of a draw in a three-way market. So, bettors can only back the home or away team to win. 

If both teams are evenly matched, there’s a high likelihood of a draw. For example, if you look at the last 10 matches, both teams have an almost similar record. Monaco’s win-draw-loss results are 5-1-4, and City’s results are 6-1-3. Picking the DNB market reduces the probability of losing your wager. If you believe there is a reasonable chance of a draw, protect your stake by choosing the Draw No Bet market instead of 1X2.

To decide between 1X2 and DNB, consider how many times both teams were held to a draw. Both Monaco and Manchester City drew one of their last 10 games. They have zero draws in their head-to-head record. Apply these statistics in your research when considering the Monaco vs Manchester City betting odds in the Draw No Bet market.

Backing Monaco in the DNB market pays £15 profit on a £4 bet (£3.75 for every pound) if they win. Choosing Manchester City at 2/13 odds will give you £0.15 return for every pound. Keep in mind that this market pays lower compared to 1X2, as your chances of winning are higher.

Handicap Betting Odds

A positive handicap gives one team a virtual head start, and a negative handicap gives the other team a deficit. For example, betting on Manchester City with a -1 handicap means City must win by at least three goals for the bet to win.

A handicap can be used in two scenarios. First, when you want to bet on the weaker team and give it a strong head start. Choose a big handicap like +2.25, where the other team will have to overcome a margin of five goals. Your bet wins if the goal difference is four or lower.

The second scenario is when you are so confident in your team that you want to maximize your returns. For example, betting on Manchester City in the 1X2 market yields £0.4 per pound at 2/5 odds. But betting on them to overcome a negative 1.25 handicap will give you a higher return of £0.9 per pound.

Be careful when selecting the handicaps, as the goal margin changes whether your bet wins or loses. Handicaps like 0.5 are small and can be overcome with a 2-goal margin. If you want to play it safe, choose bigger handicaps, where the other team will have to overcome a bigger goal margin.

All available handicaps for this fixture on 7bet range between (+/-) 2.75 to (-/+) 0.5. The default handicap is set at +1.25 for AS Monaco. However, you are free to adjust the betting line as per your analysis.

Here are two examples of how your bet will pay out with different handicaps:

• AS Monaco (+1.25) / Manchester City (-1.25): AS Monaco has a big advantage of three goals. A two-goal difference, such as 0–2, gets adjusted as 1.25–0.75, and bets on Monaco win, even if they lose the match. However, with a three-goal margin like 0–3, Manchester City will be able to overcome the handicap (1.25–1.75).
• Monaco (-0.5) / Manchester City (+0.5): This is the opposite scenario where City has the advantage and Monaco must win the match with at least a two-goal margin. A score of 1–0 win gets adjusted as 0.5–0.5, and Draw bets win. But a score of 2–0 will be adjusted as 1.5–0.5, and bets on Monaco win.

Consider the goal difference of both teams in their recent matches. In their last two head-to-head matches, both games had a goal difference of two.

Both Teams to Score (BTTS Odds)

BTTS stands for Both Teams To Score. If you believe both teams will score at least once during full time, click on “Yes”. However, if your analysis is that at least one side will fail to hit the mark, select “No”. BTTS “Yes” wagers can even be settled during the game if both sides have scored. Otherwise, the wager remains open till the full 90 minutes, and it can be exciting to watch if a team trailing 1–0 can bridge the gap in the final minutes. Note that penalty shootouts in case of a draw are not counted towards the BTTS wagers.

Consider the clean sheet records of both teams when deciding whether to pick “Yes” or “No”. The higher the clean sheets, the more chances that “No” bets may win. Moreover, it’s also important to consider how many times they failed to score any goals. If there are several zeroes in their recent results, choosing a “No” bet may be better.

Monaco kept zero clean sheets in their last 10 matches, and Manchester City kept five. Neither team could manage to score any goals in one of their last 10 matches. In their two head-to-head matches, both teams scored against each other.

Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds

The over/under betting line for this fixture is set at the default 3.5 goals. This means bettors can predict whether both teams’ combined goal total will be over or under 3.5. For example, the final scoreline is 0–2. This makes the total two, and “Under” bets win. If the scoreline is 2–2, the combined total becomes four, and “Yes” bets win.

The betting line for this fixture can be adjusted from 1.25 to 5.75 total goals. Lower your risk in this market by considering the average goal total of both teams in their recent matches. 

Monaco averaged 2.1 goals in their last 10 matches. Manchester City has averaged 2.4 goals in the same period. This brings their average combined goal total to 4.5. In their two head-to-head matches, both teams’ combined average goal total was 6.0 (a total of 12 goals in two games). Use this data when considering the Monaco vs Manchester City betting odds in the Over/Under market.

Correct Score Odds

Here, bettors have to predict what the final scoreline of the match will be. It allows you to take advantage of the higher odds involved. For example, betting on Manchester City’s win in the 1X2 market returns £0.4 per pound at 2/5 odds. However, betting on them to win the match with a precise 0–1 score yields £8 for every pound. 

Nevertheless, predicting the correct score is a difficult type of bet. Bettors not only have to predict which side will win, but they also need to forecast the exact scoreline. For example, predicting a precise 1/0 win for Monaco pays £20 for every pound, and predicting a correct 0/1 win for Manchester City pays £8 for every pound. These are just a few examples of possible scores. You can adjust the betting line between 0 and +5 goals for both teams on our page as per your analysis.
