Manchester City v Manchester United Prediction and Tips

The Manchester Derby between Manchester City and Manchester United is the highlight this weekend and we have got free betting tips for the Premier League clash.

This match could turn out to be a pivotal moment in the Premier League title race and Manchester United manager David Moyes will want to carry on winning the Old Trafford faithful over with a win against their noisy neighbours.

Both sides have already slipped up and tasted defeat this season, City were humbled by Cardiff City and United were sent back down the M62 with their tails between their legs by Liverpool.

United’s performance against Chelsea was very much a conservative display to ensure the match wasn’t lost and David Moyes could line his side up in similar fashion at the Etihad on Sunday, while Manchester City will look to break down United’s defences.

This could lead to a low scoring match with one goal potentially deciding it. Under 2.5 goals is available at Evens with Paddy Power and considering six of the last seven Premier League meetings at the Etihad has seen fewer than two goals this looks a good bet.

In the latest betting for the Manchester Derby Man City are the favourites at 13/10 with Ladbrokes, the draw is 12/5 (Bet365) and Man United are top price 11/4 at William Hill.

So far at home this season Man City have beaten Newcastle 4-0 and Hull City 2-0 but they didn’t really impress against Hull and needed over an hour to break them down. If United line up defensively again they could really struggle in the final third, as Chelsea did at Old Trafford.

Manchester United’s 1-0 loss to Liverpool was a poor display and in truth they never really looked like scoring but since then Wayne Rooney has come back into the side and hit some real form. He has a good record against Manchester City, scoring twice at the Etihad last season and can get on the scoresheet on Sunday. Rooney is a best price 11/4 (William Hill) to score anytime.

The chance of these two sides cancelling themselves out makes 0-0 a realistic possibility but as usual, make sure you back ‘no goalscorer’ rather than the 0-0 correct score incase an own goal settles the match.
