Manchester United vs Manchester City Betting Tips
The Red Devils are flying relatively high at the moment. This team is currently in the 5th spot in the Premier League table, with only 3 points fewer than Chelsea. This means that if they manage to keep their good form running, the Red Devils could get among the top four. The trouble is that this team has a very tough schedule ahead, starting with the clash with their arch-nemesis, Manchester City.
It’s obvious that the player quality is on the side of the visitors, however, the Red Devils are playing in front of their own crowd. Their loyal fans definitely have what it takes to help this team play much, much better than expected. Unfortunately, that wasn’t the case in their previous three duels with Manchester City played at the Old Trafford, all of which were won by the away team. In fact, in recent duels between these two city rivals, the visiting team has had more success.
What’s giving Manchester United fans a lot of hope ahead of this game is that their players have been in a goal-scoring mood lately. Manchester United has scored a total of 9 goals in the previous 3 games in all competitions.
The same can’t be said for Manchester City, although this team has been in a winning form lately. In fact, the Sky Blues have won the previous 5 matches in a row in all competitions. They beat Real Madrid in the Champions League in that period, as well as Leicester City in the Premier League.
What’s got to worry Manchester City is that they are again without their best defender Aymeric Laporte, who got injured once again. The good news for them, however, is that Manchester United is going to be without their top-scorer Marcus Rashford, as well as Paul Pogba.
