LAS VEGAS - Welcome to this Wednesday edition of the Daily Sports Betting Preview.
Today’s Preview starts out with a look at UFC Fight Night: Chiesa vs. Magny. Then, in the Premier League, Manchester City and Manchester United both have matches today.
Finally, Clemson takes on Georgia Tech in an ACC basketball matchup.
There’s a lot to cover, so let’s get started!
UFC Fight Night Betting
The UFC is doubling up on events this week, with UFC Fight Night: Chiesa vs. Magny taking place on Wednesday and UFC 257 taking place on Saturday.
The Fight Night is obviously the lesser of the two events, but it’s still quite solid, and midweek UFC betting is always welcome.
The headline fight features Neil Magny going up against Michael Chiesa, the ninth and eighth-ranked fighters in the welterweight division.
Magny-Chiesa Odds
- Neil Magny -150
- Michael Chiesa +120
This is a classic grappler vs. striker matchup, with Chiesa as the grappler and Magny as the striker.
Chiesa has achieved 65% of his wins by submission, and 35% by decision, never winning a single fight by KO/TKO.
Magny, on the other hand, has achieved 58% of his wins by decision, 29% by KO/TKO and 13% by submission.
Magni averages almost double the amount of significant strikes than Chiesa does.
Method of Victory Odds - Chiesa vs. Magny
- Neil Magny Wins By Decision Or Technical Decision +135
- Michael Chiesa Wins By Decision Or Technical Decision +325
- Neil Magny Wins By KO, TKO Or DQ +575
- Michael Chiesa Wins By KO, TKO Or DQ +900
- Neil Magny Wins By Submission +750
- Michael Chiesa Wins By Submission +275
- Draw Or Technical Draw+6600
The specific method of victory odds favor Magny winning by decision, with the next most likely option being Chiesa winning by submission.
Chiesa winning by decision is close behind, meaning that of the three most likely outcomes, Chiesa winning is second and third. It’s worth pointing out that one could take Chiesa by decision and Chiesa by submission instead of taking Chiesa on the moneyline.
Intriguingly, Chiesa by KO is +900, which is odd because he has never won a fight by KO in his career.
MMA bettors will have to weigh the odds for this unique stylistic matchup.

City currently sits in third place in the PL, three points behind league leaders Leicester City. United is currently in second place, only one point back of the league leaders.
Manchester City vs. Aston Villa Betting
- Manchester City -360
- Aston Villa +950
- Draw +475
City are extremely heavy favorites against Aston Villa, and most of this is down to the idea that City have underperformed in the league so far.
City is regarded as the best team in the country, and given odds like they are as well, and that means that despite their third place ranking, they’re expected to perform like the best team in the country.
Manchester United vs. Fulham Betting
- Fulham +475
- Manchester United -180
- Draw +320
United, on the other hand, seem to be viewed as overperforming a bit.
Fulham is a worse team than Aston Villa, and currently in the relegation zone. Despite this, Manchester City is far more favored against Villa than United is against Fulham.
These matchups are revealing in that they can tell soccer betting enthusiasts that the sportsbooks are still big on Manchester City.
United fans might seethe, but according to the sportsbooks, it seems they’re still second place in their own city, despite having more points in the league.
ACC College Basketball Betting
Clemson, ranked just inside the top 25, is set to face off against Georgia Tech in a matchup that could cost them that ranking.
Clemson currently sits at 22nd, and they are set to visit The Thrillerdome to face off against a Georgia Tech squad that presents a serious threat.
Clemson vs. Georgia Tech Spread
- Clemson -1.5 (-115)
- Georgia Tech +1.5 (-105)
Indeed, Clemson enters this matchup as an extremely slim favorite, giving up a point and a half to Georgia Tech on the spread.
There is some shading on that line, with Clemson +1.5 having -115 odds while Tech -1.5 has -105 odds, reflecting a bit of trepidation on the part of college basketball betting enthusiasts with regards to Tech.
Clemson vs. Georgia Tech Moneyline
- Clemson -125
- Georgia Tech +120
The matchup seems very close, and one wonders if taking Georgia Tech on the moneyline isn’t a bit more profitable than taking them on the spread, given how close the game would have to be in order for the spread to hit but the moneyline to whiff.
Clemson has only played two games on the road this season, and in each of those games, they have failed to cover the spread. However, they do seem to be a markedly better team than Georgia Tech - Clemson is 9-2, Tech is 6-3.
This matchup seems to come down to how much an individual wagerer values the homecourt advantage that Tech holds.
This game airs at 7:00 p.m. EST.
