Manchester United vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting tips
Manchester City lost its invincible nimbus during the week, giving the rest of the league hope for renewed excitement in the championship bout – but only if United decide the city derby. In the case of a victory of the SkyBlues, the leader of the league could be gradually planned for Christmas before Christmas.
The Premier League offers top-flight games on a weekly basis, but the top match of the upcoming matchday stands out again: Manchester City, undefeated championship leader and the Premier League over-performer (43 points), joins city and arch rivals Manchester United was the only team able to at least keep pace with the SkyBlues (35 points, 2nd place). The game can not be beaten on Brisanz – especially as City’s past Champions League appearance gave hope for a surprise.
Manchester United :
The last three results: 2: 1 vs. CSKA Moscow, 3-1 vs. Arsenal, 4: 2 vs. Watford
The Red Devils had worse days than last. Thanks to a 2-1 success against CSKA Moscow they secured the group victory in the Champions League and forgot the surprising 0: 1 defeat of the previous match against FC Basel.
Far more important, however, was United’s appearance at last league match day. Former FC Arsenal showed the team a performance worthy of a champion’s efficiency. Although the Gunners were by no means inferior, the table second had the events under control and managed his early leadership ultimately sovereign. Mourinho struck once more intimate enemy Arsene Wenger and confirmed his reputation as an Arsenal fright.
Thanks to the three points against the Londoners, the Red Devils defended second place in the league and continue to be the only team with no double-digit deficit on championship leader ManCity. If you beat the SkyBlues on the weekend, you’d even get up to five points – a kind of premature bounce for the United since Alex Ferguson’s parting afflicted United fans.
Manchester City:
The last three results: 1: 2 vs. Shakhtar Donetsk, 2: 1 Vs. West Ham United, 2: 1 Vs. Southampton
It has happened: After 20 wins in a row and season-free 28 competitive matches without defeat Manchester City had to accept the first bankruptcy during the week. Ironically, the Ukrainian underdog Schachtar pulled the teeth out of the SkyBlues and gave hope to the rest of Europe (and Britain in particular) to stop Manchester City this season.
The defeat had hinted to some extent: Already in the past weeks the Citizens played far less dominant than at the beginning of the season. The football matches of the season start have given way to comparatively sad result football. So the team drove before the defeat against Donetsk though victories against West Ham, Southampton, Huddersfield and Feyenoord, but always won with “only” one goal advantage. As guardiola against Donetsk also spare plenty of regulars, the first flowered already, that the winning streak would break.
The last really convincing threesome celebrated the Citizens strictly speaking in their last real top game – in 3-1 against Arsenal. A good omen?
