Manchester United vs Manchester City Betting Tips
Safe Bets
• Though Manchester City have conceded the least goals this season, United have been lethal in attack, averaging more than two goals per game. Also, Manchester City will certainly score as they face a weak United defence and have nine goals in their last three games. Hence one of the safest bets of the match is betting on both teams to score at odds of 1.67(WilliamHill).
• Kevin De Bruyne is back in form for City, getting an assist and a goal against Chelsea during the weekend taking his tally to eight assists which is the second highest in the league. He is also City’s first choice penalty taker and therefore betting on him to score at odds of 3.00 (betway) gives high returns an minimal risk.
• We expect the match to be intense with both teams scoring multiple goals hence betting on over 2.5 goals being scored during the match at odds of 1.70 (WilliamHill) is another safe bet.
Quick Rich
• Both teams have been in splendid form, with United having five wins in their last six matches, while City is undefeated since eleven games, so we expect the match to be close but Pep Guardiola should get the better of Ole’s United. Betting on the correct score is the best way to earn high returns and we predict the exact score to be Manchester City 3-1 Manchester United at odds of 15.00 (WilliamHill).
• Martial got another goal against Villa during the weekend and has found his scoring form again after a disappointing start. With brilliant playmakers like Fernandes, Rashford and Pogba around him, we suggest betting on him to get the first or last goal at odds of 4.60 (WilliamHill).
Win/Lose/Draw
Manchester City have won four of the last five EFL cups and hence are favourites to win the semi final against United, who though are in form, will be tired after playing back to back fixtures, playing their fifth match in two weeks. Hence betting on Manchester City to win the match at odds of 2.00 (betway) is a safe way to double your investment.
