Manchester United v Manchester City Football Preview
The face of the Manchester derby has shifted in recent years, and there hasn’t been a game where Manchester City are this big favourites in a long time.
It’s been years since the Blue side of Manchester were sub-evens to get the result at Old Trafford, but there is a big gap in performance thus far.
Pep Guardiola’s men are, on their day, the best team in the Premier League, while Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side have severely struggled for consistency this year.
They were beaten 5-0 at Old Trafford recently by Liverpool, but came back to hammer Spurs away from home last weekend, before drawing with Atalanta in the Champions League.
City, on the other hand, have struggled themselves in recent weeks, losing 2-0 to Crystal Palace before they got their win back against Club Brugge in the Champions League.
Our NetBet win probability counter has this one heavily leaning towards the visitors, with City currently sitting at 55% and the hosts at a mere 22%, with a draw more likely at 23%.
We’ve taken a look at some of those odds, and have made out picks and predictions for the weekend’s big game.
Manchester United v Manchester City Football Odds
The bookies don’t seem to think that this is going to be a close game, given both sides’ recent parallel runs of form. Visitors Manchester City are priced as heavy favourites at 4/6, while United are sizable underdogs at 7/2. The draw is the fascinating bet of the evening at 57/20.
Manchester United v Manchester City Betting Tips
Odds are correct at the time of publication and are subject to change.
Manchester City win to zero – 23/10
When Manchester City are on their game, they are more than capable of shutting out the top teams in the Premier League, which for all intents and purposes Manchester United still are on paper. This game will be cagey, but there’s no reason to believe that United will fare any better in front of goal against City than they did against Liverpool.
Multi-Bet correct score: Man City win 0-1, 0-2 or 0-3 – 12/5
It appears a solid bet that City will be able to get a solid victory, and this is a similar type of bet for the more conservative punter out there.
Raheem Sterling to score anytime – 19/10
Manchester City have a number of big game players who love the massive stages, and none more so than Raheem Sterling. This man scored four goals at the Euros for England and has maintained his form this year for City, and we love this price on what we think is a very solid bet.
