Man City vs Atalanta betting preview: Pep's men are clear favourites

According to online sportsbooks in the UK, Manchester City is an absolute favorite of the upcoming match. EPL's most recent winner leads record-low odds on its victory over Atalanta (1.16). It means that betting on the strongest club in England almost guarantees a profit grounded on several arguments. First of all, Man City is the reigning leader of Group C. The club gained two confident victories over Dinamo Zagreb and Shakhtar Donetsk, which allowed City to top the standings with six points. Moreover, the team scored 5 goals in the past two games, which is a good result if speaking of the Champions League Group stage.
