Manchester United vs Manchester City Betting Tips
Safe Bets
Manchester City have been unstable defensively over the past few games conceding in four of their last five matches, while United too have kept only one clean sheet in their last five games. Hence betting on both teams to score at odds of 1.65 (betway) is a safe bet.
Cristiano Ronaldo has scored four goals in his last four games for United and will be their key man in this game too. Therefore betting on him to score at odds of 2.62 (betway) is one of the best bets of the match.
With Ferran Torres injured and Jesus playing comfortably on the wing, Foden has been playing centrally for Guardiola and has been impressive. Hence we suggest betting on him to take over 3 shots at odds of 1.65 (betway).
Quick Rich
We expect a very attacking match with both teams having a stronger attack than defense. Hence betting on over 2.5 goals being scored and 10.5 corners being conceded at odds of 3.25 (betway) gives high returns at minimal risk.
Betting on the scoreline is the best way to earn high returns and though we expect a close match, with Varane injured City should win with the final score being 2-1 at odds of 9.00 (bet365) or 3-1 at odds of 13.00 (bet365).
Win/Lose/Draw
Manchester United have been disappointing against big teams this season and Pep should be able to easily outclass Ole tactically. Hence City our favourites to win the match at odds of 1.72 (betway).
Bet During the Match
If Jack Grealish starts the match at the left wing, betting on him to take over 3 shots at odds of 2.25 (betway) is a safe bet.
