That ranks them 2nd of 20 for goals in their matches, 2nd for scoring (2.71 a game) and 15th for goals conceded (1.00). They've kept 3 clean sheets and failed to score 0 times in 7 games — a defence that shuts games down more often than the attack goes missing.
Across 7 matches with half-time data, 58% of the goals in their games have come after the break (11 before, 15 after). Manchester City themselves have scored 7 in first halves and 12 in second — a distinctly second-half team.

Home/away splits are small samples — our 30,582-match study found ~94% of such gaps are indistinguishable from chance, which is why the app's ratings pool them rather than trusting the split.
Their most common result this season is 1–0 (2 times). Biggest win: 3–0 away at Liverpool (Sun 11 Oct). 3 of their 7 games have produced five goals or more. Current run: 3 straight matches over 2.5 goals. They are unbeaten in 7.
Streaks read louder than they predict: our break study found a three-game goals run carries roughly ±4.6 points of signal — real, but small, and it resets entirely after a long lay-off.
In 38 league games last season Manchester City's matches went over 2.5 goals 63% of the time. This season they're running hotter at 71%, up 8 points, though 7 games is a small sample to read much into.
