Some of betting predictions for Manchester United vs Manchester City match are:
Manchester United vs Manchester City Betting Tips
Safe Bets
• Raheem Sterling has managed to return to the starting eleven performing well in his last three games. Playing as an inside forward with his great speed and to dribble past players and betting on him to score at odds of 2.50 (betway) is a safe way to double you investment.
• A very safe bet would be to bet on Manchester city to score first at odds of 1.55 (betway). We have seen in the recent matches that United starts that match show and is often the team to come back from behind. Their home form has also been shaky and Manchester City will start strong and take advantage of that in the first half.
• The Manchester Derby is always intense and with United and City placed at 7th and 8th respectively, both teams will go all in to gain places in the table. The match will end very closely and aggressively and thus we expect the number of cards given to be 4-6.This is a good bet at odds of 2.10 (William Hill).
Quick Rich
• Bruno Fernanes, the Premier league player of the month for November, has been involved in every attack for Manchester United always. Therefore we expect Bruno to have more than 4 shots by the end of the match which is a good bet at odds of 4.00 (William Hill).
• Another risky but massive return bet would be to bet on both De Bruyne and Bruno to assist a goal for their respective teams which is one of the most popular bet on William Hill at odds of 7.00.
Win/Lose/Draw
Both teams are way below what they normally are in their league standings. City have looked offensively in their past few matches and may be favourites to win the match. But Ole Gunnar Solskaer is known to deliver for United when under pressure of being sacked specially against Pep’s team. Thus we expect this to be a tight match and end as a draw maybe with the scoreline being 1-1.
Bet During the Match
Aguero has finally come back from the injury and got a goal against Marseille in the Champions league midweek. Aguero has been one of the best strikers in the Premier league in the past seasons and has eight goals against United in thirteen league matches, therefore we suggest betting on him to score at odds of 2.05 (WilliamHill).
