Villarreal vs Manchester City – Betting Odds
Champions League has always been one of the most important football markets on all major bookmaking platforms. This season it is as relevant as ever, with punters around the world betting on matches and outright results.
Below we will take a look at Villarreal vs Manchester City betting odds on some of the most popular betting markets 7bet has to offer for the match.
1X2 Betting Odds
The 1×2 betting market is often considered the best place for newbie punters to start their journey in sports betting. It follows the main reason for conducting a football match in the first place: to see who will win.
As you are trying to predict the outcome of the game with this bet, you have three possible options to bet on: the home team wins (1), the away team wins (2), or the match ends in a draw (x). If you predict the outcome correctly, you will get a payout proportional to the offered odds and your stake size.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following 1×2 Villarreal vs Manchester City odds:
| Villarreal F.C. (1) | Draw (x) | Man City F.C. (2) |
| 13/4 | 3/1 | 17/25 |
Double Chance Odds
When betting on the outcome of the match, your risks increase if the two teams are well matched and seem to be equally capable of winning the game. In such cases, the double chance betting market might be of help.
Instead of betting on one possible outcome, it allows you to bet on two out of the existing three. This decreases your risks because any of the two outcomes you bet on will bring you a payout if they take place. However, keep in mind that the odds for this bet are lower than for 1×2 bet.
In football, you get the following betting options:
- Either the home team wins or the match ends in a draw (1x)
- Either the home team or the away team wins (12)
- Either the away team wins or the match ends in a draw (x2)
At 7bet, we currently offer the following double chance Villarreal vs Manchester City odds:
| Villarreal F.C. or draw (1x) | Villarreal F.C. or Man City F.C. (12) | Draw or Man City F.C. (x2) |
| 24/25 | 3/13 | 2/9 |
Handicap Betting Odds
If one of the two teams facing each other on the field is objectively stronger due to its experience, skills, or squad composition, the outcome of the match becomes too obvious and betting loses its primary objective.
Handicap bets help to balance out matches like this by introducing special conditions to the match. Now it is not enough for the winning team to win the game, they have to fulfill these conditions for their win to count toward your bet.
While football offers various handicap bets, the most popular one is the goal difference. For example, you can bet that Team A, which is regarded as the favourite of the match, will win the match with a -1.5 goal difference. Now for your bet to be eligible for a payout, they need to have at least two goals more than their rivals by the end of the game.
Keep in mind that predicting the correct score is not your task here. The goal difference of -1.5 from the example above can come in any form: 2 – 0, 3 – 1, or even 4 – 1. The only time Team A’s win won’t count toward your bet is if the goal difference is lower than 2.
With the handicap bets, you can bet not only on the winner but on the underdog as well. Let’s say, you place a bet that Team B will lose with a +2 goal difference. If your wager is to win, by the end of the game they shouldn’t have more than one goal below Team A’s score, for example, 0 – 1 or 2 – 3. If the goal difference is higher, you will lose your bet.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following handicap Villarreal vs Manchester City betting odds:
| Villarreal F.C. +0.75 | Man City F.C. -0.75 |
| 10/11 | 10/11 |
Other popular handicap lines include:
| Villarreal F.C. | Draw | Man City F.C. | |
| Starts 3 – 0 | 1/7 | 13/2 | 10/1 |
| Starts 2 – 0 | 2/5 | 4/1 | 13/3 |
| Starts 1 – 0 | 13/12 | 3/1 | 12/7 |
| Starts 0 – 1 | 9/1 | 5/1 | 1/5 |
Both Teams to Score (BTTS) Odds
Your task as a punter with this betting market is to predict whether both teams will be able to score at least one goal during the game. This bet is considered to be suitable for newbies as it is quite simple.
If you think that it is quite possible for both teams to send at least one ball into their rival’s net, you can place your wager on the “yes” option. If it seems like none of the teams or only one of them can do this, place your bet on “no”.
Remember that predicting the exact final score is not your task here. As a result, your risks will also be significantly lower than for many other bets.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following both teams to score Villarreal vs Manchester City betting odds:
| Yes | No |
| 5/8 | 6/5 |
Goal Total (Over/Under) Odds
This bet is not aimed at the direct outcome of the match. Here you are trying to predict whether the sum total of all goals scored during the game by both teams will be more (over) or less (under) than a number specified by the bookmaker.
Let’s say, you bet that the goal total will amount to over 2.5. This means that if you add up the score of both Team A and Team B at the end of the game, you should get at least 3 goals. More than 3 goals will count toward your bet, but fewer will mean you lose your wager. However, the exact final score doesn’t matter.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following goal total Villarreal vs Manchester City odds:
| Over 2.5 | Under 2.5 |
| 5/8 | 5/4 |
Correct Score Odds
The correct score betting market involves higher risks because here you are trying to predict the exact final score, and theoretically, it can be anything in football. The higher risks imply higher odds than most other markets.
Betting on a draw is possible if you think this is the most likely outcome. You will still have to specify the score in your bet, be it 2 – 2, 1 – 1, or 0 – 0.
At 7bet, we currently offer the following correct score Villarreal vs Manchester City odds for some of the most popular scorelines:
| Villarreal F.C. | Man City F.C. | Odds |
| 0 | 0 | 15/1 |
| 1 | 0 | 15/1 |
| 0 | 1 | 8/1 |
| 0 | 2 | 17/2 |
| 2 | 0 | 25/1 |
| 1 | 2 | 7/1 |
| 1 | 3 | 11/1 |
