Manchester City take on Poli Timisoara in this second leg qualifier of the Europa League at the City of Manchester Stadium already holding a one goal advantage from the first leg. It is why all Bookmakers make them huge odds on favourites to win the match leaving punters to concentrate their bets on the Handicap, Correct Score and Goalscorer Markets. As it stands City are 1/7 odds on with Paddy Power, who go 6/1 the draw and 14/1 Poli Timisoara.

City owe their one goal aggregate lead to a debut goal scored by 20 year old new signing, Mario Balotelli, who also took a slight knock which meant he missed out on the win over Liverpool earlier this week. It is not sure if he will be available for this game either.
The comprehensive 3-0 win over Liverpool on Monday demonstrated that City are going to be huge force this season and why they are 13/2 favourites with PaddyPower to win the Europa League outright; ironically Liverpool are second favourites at 9/1. Their squad is full of stars and match winners and manager, Roberto Mancini is also developing them into a system that suits all players. It is also worth noting that they have yet to concede a goal in competition football so far this season. We like the 11/1 odds of James Milner to score the first goal in this match, but it looks like he might be rested and be on the bench. However, Emmanuel Adebayor will start the game and at 7/2 he would be where we would have our money in the First Goalscorer market.
Europa League Betting Comparison
Poli Timisoara are a little known team who only came back into existence in 2002. Their biggest claim to fame in their new life so far was to knock out the then UEFA Cup champions, Shakhtar Donestsk of the 2008/9 Champions League qualifiers. Their stars include goalkeeper, Costel Pantilimon and strong tackling midfielder Alex Bourceanu. Up front they have a useful pairing of Mircea Axente and Czech international, Lukas Magera, who are both quoted at 11/2 with paddy power to score a goal during the 90 minutes.

On paper there can only be one winner here in a game where one asks not if City will win but by how many. For instance in the Paddypower handicap they go 5/4 for a -2 to City, 11/4 the draw and 7/5 for a 2.0 for Timisoara. This obviously represents a much better value bet than the outright win market.
No matter in which way the game is looked at this has to be a big win for the home team and we would not be surprised to see then score five goals or more without reply. If they scored three against Liverpool with such ease then surely five at least is on the cards here. We would therefore be extremely tempted to back a 5-0 City win at 13/1 and as a 6-0 scoreline seems common place so far this season, we would back that too at an outstanding 25/1.
