Man United vs Man City Betting Tips, Predictions & Odds - First Manchester Derby of the season at Old Trafford

Man United take on Man City in the Manchester Derby on Saturday evening. There’s just a point separating the two teams in the Premier League table coming into the match.

Man United need a big result to lift themselves after a disappointing week or so that has seen them eliminated from the Champions League.

They have lost two of their last three matches, starting with a 3-1 defeat to PSG before then beating West Ham 3-1 in the Premier League.

Last time out, United lost 3-2 against RB Leipzig in a result which saw them fall into the Europa League.

Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s team have really struggled at home in the Premier League of late, picking up just one win from their last seven matches at Old Trafford.

Man United look set to be without Phil Jones, Anthony Martial and Edinson Cavani due to injury.

Man City are the form side of the two coming into the Manchester Derby with four wins in their last five matches.

Pep Guardiola’s team have also lost just one of their last 15 matches in all competitions and have kept five consecutive clean sheets.

Man City have won comfortably in their last two Premier League matches, beating Burnley 5-0 and Fulham 2-0 at the Etihad Stadium.

Last time out, they beat Marseille 3-0 as Ferran Torres and Sergio Aguero both got on the scoresheet.

Man City look set to be without defender Eric Garcia and midfielder Ilkay Gundogan due to injury.

Man United have had the better of this fixture with 76 wins compared to City’s 54. There have also been 52 draws between the pair.

United won the most recent meeting 2-0 back in March.

Man City are favourites to win at 1.81, while United are priced at 4.40. The draw is priced at 4.20.

Expect this game to go the way of most recent derbies, with City controlling possession and United looking to hit them on the break. Ole Gunnar Solskjaer has a knack of pulling out big results when he needs them most, but this will be a severe test of the team after such a devastating loss at Leipzig.
