Manchester Derby is coming our way this weekend. The Citizens host Manchester United in a game that could greatly impact the EPL standings at the end of the year. The Citizens chase the title, while United wants to reach the top-four place and the Champions League ticket.
Before Betting on Manchester City vs. Manchester United
City was merciless against Lutton on the road, beating the Hatters 2-6 in the FA Cup game. Erling Haaland scored five goals, making the best possible warm-up for Sunday’s clash against the big rivals. This was the 18th game in a row without a loss for the Citizens, who won 16 during this span.
Since the season started, the champs haven’t lost at their Etihad Stadium. However, we need to notice that their efficiency dropped in the past two appearances, with them scoring only two goals during 180 against Chelsea and Brentford. Previously, we saw them smashing and bashing their rivals, netting two or more goals frequently.
United regained bits of its lost and broken morale with a dramatic win against Nottingham Forest on the road this Wednesday night, 0-1. It came in the game’s final moments and after a pretty suspicious situation, so we can say that the officials pushed the Red Devils to the next round.
An upside are United’s results on the road, with them having six straight victories. In each but the one against Nottingham, the team from Trafford scored at least two goals. This was also the first meeting after four in a row without over 2.5 hits and both teams netting.

The Citizens are on a hot streak, while on the other side, United plays well on the road but is still very fragile in the back line, and that’s something that Guardiola won’t miss to exploit. And with Haaland in good shape, we have to go with City’s victory.
