Manchester United vs Manchester City: betting tip (cf 3.00) and bets on the English Premier League match

Current form

All the successes of Manchester United in the new season are connected with performances at Old Trafford. On their own field, the Red Devils scored two crushing victories over Ipswich (5:2) in the Premier League and over Sabah (4:0) in the Champions League. Michael Carrick's team has not won away yet, although the opponents were not the most difficult: Hull (0:2) and Everton (2:2).

In general, there is no reason to talk about a recession or serious problems in the game of Manchester United. It was the first official match of the season against Hull, it was not possible to open the saturated defense, plus the goalkeeper of the opponent showed himself well. Everton pulled out a draw only at the very end. The only thing that is alarming is the defensive performance (six goals conceded), but at the same time, in the last match in the Champions League, we managed to score for the first time this season.

Manchester United's attack is on top. Apart from the unsuccessful match against Hull, in the rest of the meetings, the opponents' goals were hit more than once without problems. As the match against Sabah showed, you can expect threats from any player from the offensive line: all four goals in that meeting were scored by different players. Of course, there is a much more serious test of strength ahead, but it is worth noting that in the last two derbies on their own field, the red devils were not inferior to the citizens.

Approximate line–up: Lammens - Dalot, Maguire, Martinez, Shaw – Thielemans, Mainu – Mbeumo, B. Fernandes, Rashford – Cunha.

Current form

Enzo Mareschi's debut at the helm of the Manchester City head coach was unsuccessful. In the match for the English Super Cup, his team lost outright to Arsenal with a score of 0:3. However, this failure has remained the only one so far – in the next four meetings there were only victories.

In the Premier League, the townspeople got a difficult calendar at the start and scored three wins over Bournemouth (2:1), Crystal Palace (1:4) and Coventry (1:0). At the same time, it was difficult to beat Bournemouth and Coventry. With the Cherries, the winning goal was scored only in the 91st minute.

The start in the Champions League came out more than confident in the performance of Manchester City. On the road, the townspeople defeated Porto with a score of 2:0, they did not allow the opponent to land a single shot on goal. Holand scored both goals. The team is still very dependent on the Norwegian, who has scored five goals in five games played. If the opponents manage to close it down (as was the case with Arsenal), then there is practically no one to take on the role of leader in attack.

Disqualifications and injuries

Doku is in the infirmary, and O'Reilly's exit to the field is questionable.

Interesting betting trends

• In three of the last five matches, Manchester City have not won in the first half.
• In 14 of the 17 previous matches, Manchester City players have scored more shots on goal than their opponents.
• In the previous six face-to-face meetings, the townspeople won only one victory.

Approximate composition: Donnarumma – Nunez, Dias, Gehi, Guardiola – Anderson, Fernandez – Semenyo, Sherki, Ndiaye – Holland.
