Manchester United vs Manchester City Moneyline Prediction
- Moneyline Pick: Manchester City to Win
- Odds: -102 (Tonybet)
Manchester City are in great form, currently riding a 13-game unbeaten streak across all competitions. They also sit second in the table and have been the league’s most prolific team in terms of offence (45 goals).
The Red Devils, by contrast, have been in turmoil and are on a four-match winless run. Their defence concedes more, and their goal creation per encounter is weaker, leaving them more vulnerable.
The head-to-head record slightly favours City. Their recent 3-0 derby win highlights how their attacking firepower can exploit Man United’s defensive gaps. Hence, we anticipate a comfortable victory for the visitors.
Manchester United vs Manchester City Player Prop
- Prop Bet: Erling Haaland to Score
- Odds: -122 (Tonybet)
Erling Haaland has 20 league goals from 18.52 xG, coupled with 133 touches in the opposition box. He is the Cityzens’ primary penalty taker, which further boosts his chances to get on the scoresheet.
United have conceded 32 goals and allowed 26.65 xGA. City’s possession-based approach and cutback patterns consistently force centre-backs to defend while facing their own goal. This is where Haaland excels at attacking first-contact chances.
Haaland has also registered nine shots on target in his last five league matches and remains City’s highest-frequency box finisher. Given the frailties in the hosts’ defence, he should see multiple goalscoring opportunities.
Manchester United vs Manchester City Same Game Parlay
- SGP: Manchester City to Win + Erling Haaland to Score + Over 8.5 Corners
- Odds: +260 (Tonybet)
Manchester City to Win: City have been the stronger side this season based on their position in the table and overall performance. United are struggling to find their rhythm and look unlikely to pose a challenge.
Erling Haaland to Score: Haaland has scored eight times against the Red Devils, including a brace in the previous match. The Norwegian should be able to end his two-game dry streak in the upcoming clash.
Over 8.5 Corners: Man City tend to attack from the flanks. With Antoine Semenyo and Jeremy Doku in the squad, we anticipate the wingers to generate corners in this encounter.
Manchester United vs Manchester City Team News
Manchester United Team News
Manchester United have been creating enough to win, but they’ve been allowing too many errors in defence. At Burnley, they piled on pressure with 65% possession and 30 shots, yet still drew 2-2. Then Brighton knocked them out of the FA Cup (1-2). The Seagulls’ bigger chances (4) and United’s late dismissal ultimately decided the game.
Benjamin Šeško has finally reignited his scoring, hitting a brace at Burnley to end a long drought and scoring again in the FA Cup loss to Brighton. Another major boost for the Red Devils is the return of Bruno Fernandes, who continues to drive their creativity and provided an assist at Burnley.
Matthijs de Ligt (back injury) and Noussair Mazraoui (international duty) won’t be available for this fixture.
Manchester City Team News
Despite the VAR drama at Newcastle, City still executed their key plan. They controlled territory, created enough chances, and converted their chances to win 0-2.
City have received a major boost with Antoine Semenyo’s signing. The Ghanaian has instantly made an impact, scoring in two consecutive games, although one of his goals was disallowed for offside. Rodri’s return to action is also pivotal, as he dictates tempo and rest-defence positioning.
City’s biggest concern is at the back. Rúben Dias, John Stones, and Joško Gvardiol are all ruled out. Mateo Kovačić remains sidelined with an ankle issue, while Oscar Bobb is also unavailable.
