Manchester City v Manchester United Betting Tips – Premier League 7th April 5.30pm
Will the Premier League title be settled on the weekend? One more win is all that Manchester City need and to get it at home against their bitter rivals would just feel that extra sweet for them. It is already a record-breaking season from City and could get even better. Manchester United are holding second place behind the Citizens, but have been struggling to produce performance-wise.
Manchester City News and Form
The Citizens are steaming along on a five-match winning streak and since their loss to Liverpool at Anfield, they are W7 D1. That’s some response. They have just kept winning to set up this opportunity of winning the league title on the weekend, at home, in the Manchester derby. Manchester City have posted a W14 D1 L0 record for the season at the Etihad and they are on a fourteen match winning streak there. 40% of their home games this season have been won to nil and Manchester City to win to nil at bet365 for this clash is at 2/1 odds* (Betting Odds taken at 4:51 p.m. on April 3rd, 2018). City haven’t failed to score in a home fixture this season and 60% of their home games have gone above the 3.5 goal line. Still, Manchester United are likely going to turn and up just try to stop City winning, so under 2.5 goals is favourable. The Citizens have scored 71% of their home goals this season in the second half of matches. There are so many City players in great scoring form at the moment, but Sergio Aguero tops the pile as the 11/10 favourite with bet365* (Betting Odds taken at 4:51 p.m. on April 3rd, 2018). Will they be crowned Champions on Saturday?
Manchester United News and Form
Manchester United can have no complaints from their recent form. Their output has been high as they are riding on a four-match winning streak. It’s not the results, it is their uninspiring performances which has the support riled up. Going forward the Red Devils have scored at least two goals in each of their last three league games, which includes wins over Chelsea and Liverpool. They were home successes though and the Red Devils have lost two of their last three away games in the Premier League. Manchester United have posted a W8 D3 L4 record on their travels this season and have managed an average of 1.7 goals per game, shipping just over a goal per game away from Old Trafford. United have bagged only the one clean sheet in their last five league games (home and away combined) so even with the brilliance of David de Gea between the sticks are going to be vulnerable. In the bet365 correct score market for the Manchester derby, the 1-1 draw and a Man City 1-0 are joint 7/1 favourites* (Betting Odds taken at 4:51 p.m. on April 3rd, 2018). Can United deny City their big day?
Manchester City v Manchester United Head to Head
Manchester City extended themselves to three games unbeaten in the Premier League against Manchester United with a win at Old Trafford in early December. Last season when the two met at the Etihad, there was a 0-0 draw and just two of the last six meetings in all competitions have made it over two goals. City just edges things in the last seven Premier League meetings with a W3 D2 L2 record. City are just D1 L1 in their last two at home against United in the league, failing to score in both of those.
