Man City vs Man Utd Betting Tips, Correct Score Prediction and Suggested Bet Builders

Combine our Man City vs Man Utd tips in a 13/2 bet builder treble.

The Etihad plays host to the first Manchester Derby of the season on Sunday, with both City and United stumbling into it rather than striding.

Pep Guardiola’s champions have lost back-to-back games to Spurs and Brighton after their 4-0 opening win at Wolves, while Ruben Amorim’s United only just scraped their first league win against Burnley.

Neither side looks convincing, and that makes this clash a fascinating one.

Football betting sites still lean towards City, who are 4/6 favourites, with the draw at 3/1 and United out at 7/2 for an away win.

Man City vs Man Utd: Correct Score Prediction

Recent derbies have been tighter than expected — United won at the Etihad last December, and City were held to a draw at Old Trafford in April.

With both sides misfiring early doors, don’t be surprised if it’s a cagey affair on Sunday.

City have kept five straight clean sheets away from home but have looked vulnerable at the Etihad.

Meanwhile, United haven’t won an away league game in six attempts.

A 1-1 draw (priced around 8/1) looks a tempting play.

Man City vs Man Utd Bet Builder Tips

Here are three picks that make sense for Sunday’s showdown:

Erling Haaland To Score Anytime @ 8/11

Haaland scored five goals for Norway in an 11-1 win over Moldova on Tuesday, and he has six goals in his five Manchester derbies in the Premier League. He is still quite clearly City’s main weapon. United’s back three looked shaky against Burnley, and Haaland has the physical edge to exploit that.

Both Teams To Score @ 4/7

Eight of the last ten Manchester derbies have seen both sides find the net. United may be poor on the road, but Bruno Fernandes and Matheus Cunha give them enough creativity to trouble City, especially against a defence missing Gvardiol.

Under 3.5 Goals @ 4/7

Neither side is purring early in the season. City haven’t looked fluent at all in recent weeks, while United have been grinding rather than flowing. A scrappy, edgy derby feels more likely than a goal-fest.

Man City vs Man Utd Team News

Manchester City will once again be without Rayan Cherki, who is sidelined with a thigh injury, while Josko Gvardiol and Mateo Kovacic are also missing.

Omar Marmoush was spotted on crutches during international duty with Egypt and is now expected to be out, reducing Guardiola’s options in attack.

There is better news with Savinho pushing for a return to the squad, and Gianluigi Donnarumma is expected to make his Premier League debut in goal.

John Stones, who left the England camp as a precaution, is likely to be fit in time for the derby.

Manchester United’s injury concerns centre on Matheus Cunha, who is nursing a hamstring problem but may recover in time to feature.

Mason Mount and Diogo Dalot are both doubtful, while Lisandro Martinez remains a long-term absentee.

New goalkeeper Senne Lammens could be handed his first start for the club, and Benjamin Sesko is pushing to lead the line with a maiden Premier League start.

In midfield, Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro will again be central to United’s hopes, while Amad Diallo is likely to provide width in a wing-back role.
