Command Analysis
Manchester United
EnglandManchester United did not play their best in the Premier League last season, finishing only in eighth place. They managed to redeem themselves somewhat in the FA Cup, where https://www.manutd.com" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the Red Devils beat Manchester City 2-1 in the final.
In the off-season, Manchester United is actively trying to get rid of numerous unnecessary players. However, not everything is working out so far. The only thing that can be noted is the profitable sale of Greenwood. Of the newcomers at the moment, we note Yoro , who has already managed to get injured and is out of action, as well as Zirkzee , who has not played a single match yet.
Erik ten Hag's team played five friendly matches at once - two wins and three losses. It should be noted that they failed to counter their top English opponents Arsenal and Liverpool (1:2 and 0:3). Due to injuries, defender Malasia and forward Heilund will not play today, in addition to Yoro.
Manchester City
EnglandManchester City won the Premier League for the fourth time in a row last season and, accordingly, will fight for the Super Cup for the fourth time in a row. Interestingly, the three previous attempts for the Citizens ended unsuccessfully. Last year, they were close to victory over Arsenal, but allowed the Londoners to equalize the score in the 11th minute of added time, after which they lost in a penalty shootout.
The team's preparation for the start of the new season was mixed. Many players fought to the very end in their national teams at international tournaments. Josep Guardiola allowed the leaders to rest, many did not play in friendly matches during the American tour. As a result, Manchester City only achieved its first and only victory in friendly matches in the final game against Chelsea (4:2).
It should be noted that the main transfer in the club was the transfer of Julian Alvarez to Atletico. There are no other major changes in the squad at the moment. The leader of the attack, Norwegian Erling Haaland, was on an American tour with the team and scored in almost every match.

2.12Tip and bets
Last season , Manchester City beat the Red Devils twice in the Premier League. The only misfire was in the Cup final at the end of the season, amid a fierce battle for the championship. Manchester United did not shine in friendly matches, especially against top opponents. The Citizens have Haaland in perfect condition, who can single-handedly decide the outcome of the game. In general, Erik ten Hag's team could not win the Super Cup four times in a row, the clearly unsuccessful streak has dragged on, and the match against a clearly still "raw" opponent is an excellent opportunity to start the season with a trophy.
Our prediction is Manchester City to win with an Asian handicap of (-1) at odds of 1.89
Combined rate
Manchester City's largely experimental defence has never kept a clean sheet in friendly matches and is unlikely to do so today. The Citizens have won two of their last three head-to-head matches by exchanging goals, which we expect to see in the Super Cup this time around.
Second bet - Manchester City win and both teams to score for 2.78
Bet on corners
It should be noted that in seven of the last nine head-to-head meetings in the Premier League and the FA Cup, Manchester City won by more than two corners. Accordingly, we recommend another option for betting.
Prediction: Manchester City win on corners with Asian handicap (-2.5) with odds of 1.60
