Manchester City vs Manchester United Prediction & Betting tips
An entertaining match on Friday will be played by Manchester United and Manchester City under a friendly international club.
Manchester City :
In my opinion, there is no clear favorite on this occasion, as it is a classic city. For this reason and considering that the two teams will try to win the match even when it is a friendly, we advise you to play a few euros to the bet “both teams score”. Remember that the “Reds Devils” have been reinforced with good players, like the “Citizens”. Therefore, we believe that there can be a goal at least per side.
Take into account that Manchester United begins a new season under the command of Jose Mourinho, after qualifying to the Champions after winning the Europa League. The team has been strengthened with some important players like Lukaku, Guillermo Varela and V. Lindelöf. The main departure of the squad was the experienced Wayne Rooney who left for Everton. As information added, we tell you that Zlatan Ibrahimovic remains seriously injured.
On the other hand do not forget that the “Reds Devils” have played two friendlies so far, managing to catch football rhythm for this new season. First he thrashed 2-5 to Los Angeles Galaxy and then beat Real Salt Lake 1-2. For now, beyond the level difference, he is scoring and conceding goals with relative ease.
Manchester United :
Continuing with the analysis you should know that Manchester City is still led by Pep Guardiola, which was missing after his first campaign in the Premier League. Now his goal is to remain offensive, but trying to be more balanced between lines. It will continue to dominate the good touch and get spaces to reach the goal.
To finish we tell you that the “Citizens” have signed some important players like Bernardo Silva of Monaco, Kyle Walker of Tottenham and Ederson Moraes of Benfica (goalkeeper). They left the institution Pablo Zabaleta, Gael Clichy, Nolito and Willy Caballero.
After reviewing the details of this match I play for the bet “both teams score” due to the following reasons: First because the two teams are hierarchical, even when they are in preseason and somewhat lacking in football. Therefore, it is logical to alternate the domain of the ball and to recover from an initial disadvantage. Second because Manchester United has already played 2 friendly matches in recent days, achieving this pick before two sets of the MLS. The logic indicates that this pattern is repeated once again. And third, because Manchester City have not played friendlies so far, it is still an attacked and offensive set by the philosophy of “Pep” Guardiola. Faced with this reality and knowing that goals can fall by individual or collective genius, we believe that the game can finish 1-1 or 2-1 in favor of any side. Remember that the many can also fall due to mistakes in output or at the time of scoring.
