Man City Expected To Triumph In Carling Cup Semi Final First Leg Against Liverpool
Wednesday 11 January 2012 at 10:28
 Man City take on Liverpool tonight in the Carling Cup Semi Final First Leg at Eastlands and Man City are not only the favourites to win this match and qualify for the final, they are also the most tipped outcome in the OLBG Tipster Competition.
Man City Favoured To Take Lead Into Second Leg
It looks as though Crystal Palace are the most likely finalists from the other Carling Cup Semi Final so whichever team qualifies from this Semi Final will certainly fancy their chances for Carling Cup glory. The OLBG tipsters seem to fancy Man City for Semi Final First Leg glory at the very least, Man City are the favourites to win this match at standout odds of evens with Ladbrokes. Those odds seem to be pretty tempting for the OLBG tipsters as exactly 75% of tipsters at the time of writing have selected that outcome. One of the tipsters backing Man City is Hogsback:
“Vincent Kompany will be missing in defence for Manchester City as they meet Liverpool in the Carling Cup Semi-Final first leg. Both sides will want to get off to a good start with the onus on City being at home. They have got a fair amount of players probably out for this game as Yaya and Kolo Toure are on Africa Cup of Nations duty. There are also doubts about several other players. I still think Manchester City can win this first leg. They are no more in the habit of losing many home games and they will want to put the Manchester derby FA Cup defeat behind them.”
Plenty Of Goals Expected In This Match
Liverpool is the next best option according to punters, 15.7% of tipsters have backed the away side to win this at odds of 16/5 with Victor Chandler and Stan James whilst the draw at odds of 5/2 with Bet365 has attracted 9.3% of tips on OLBG. One of the most popular markets in this match on OLBG has been the total goals betting and an overwhelming majority of 76.9% have gone for over 2.5 goals at evens with Bet365 and SkyBet, OLBG tipster Hogsback also has an interest in this market:
“Manchester City have been on a massive scoring spree this season. They have had one or two setbacks since around the turn of the new year with two blanks in a row at West Bromwich Albion and Sunderland. Just when you think they are slowing down they get three against Liverpool and two more against Manchester United. It is unclear who their strikers will be for the Carling Cup Semi-Final first leg against Liverpool. You can't really bet against City scoring and a few injuries in defence could see them concede. I think it's worth going for over 2.5 goals at evens.”
