Manchester Utd vs Manchester City Prediction & Betting tips
In the semi-finals of the Carabao Cup there is a great poster on the roll with Manchester United against Manchester City. Exactly a month ago, Manchester United in the Manchester Derby was 1-2 strong for Manchester City and so the team of Pep Guardiola has to put things right!
Manchester United:
For Manchester United and Manchester City, the Carabao Cup is of course the least interesting tournament of the season. Nevertheless, Ole Gunnar Solskjær is already in the semi-final with Manchester United and the Norwegian will do everything to win the Carabao Cup with Manchester United. For the supporters of Manchester United it is much more important that Manchester City is eliminated by The Red Devils in two matches and if a final is lost then the supporters will take that for granted.
On paper, Manchester City is of course much stronger than Manchester United, except that Manchester United already won 1-2 last month against Manchester City. At the time, Marcus Rashford (penalty) and Anthony Martial were accurate in Etihad Stadium in the first half, after which the Manchester City goal came too late in the 85th minute to really put Manchester United in trouble. Manchester United got into trouble in the FA Cup last weekend: The Red Devils got no further in the Molineux than a scoreless draw against Wolverhampton and will play the replay soon. This to the disappointment of both Wolverhampton and Manchester United, as both teams are not waiting for another game at all. The past weeks were of course already busy for both clubs. The Red Devils also play two games in the Carabao Cup against Manchester City and therefore have a very busy schedule.
The program is also starting to claim its victims at Manchester United: six players are missing the game with Manchester City anyway. There are still question marks behind the names of Anthony Martial, Jesse Lingard, Luke Shaw and Harry Maguire. The first three have flu symptoms, so there is absolutely no way to tie them up or they will actually be in the selection on Tuesday evenings.
Manchester City:
Manchester City is already in the semi-final of the Carabao Cup and would like to win the tournament again. Last season, The Citizens were too strong for Chelsea in the final (0-0 final score; 3-4 wins Man City after penalties) and the season before that, the Guardiola team won in the final 0-3 against Arsenal. In short: Manchester City is going for the third Carabao Cup victory in a row and has to deal with Manchester United first. Last month The Citizens lost in-house 1-2 with Manchester United and as a result the Guardiola star ensemble has to put right on Tuesday evening.
At Manchester City they were also active in the FA Cup on Saturday: Port Vale was defeated 4-1 by The Citizens. Port Vale plays in the League Two and yet Pep chose to start with players like David Silva, Bernardo Silva and Sergio Agüero. In addition, seventeen-year-old Taylor Harwood-Bellis also got a base place at Manchester City and he immediately crowned that with a goal. Eighteen-year-old Spanish talent Eric García is also working hard on Manchester City; García started in the last two league games in the base team of The Citizens and left a great impression. Perhaps he can hope again against Manchester United for a base place in the defense of Manchester City, which will of course also start with the strongest possible players on Old Trafford. Only Aymeric Laporte and Leroy Sané are missing due to injuries.
