Manchester City v Manchester United: Preview and Predictions


Ignoring their midweek performance, Manchester United have been a side that have had little problem scoring goals this season – which is why we’re favouring the both teams to score market over the outright result in our low-risk accumulator selection this weekend. 
          We expect that in a huge fixture like this Manchester United will be able to match City for most of the game, but with the 38 league game undefeated record being in favour of the home side, we’re not certain they’ll claim all three points.
          Roberto Mancini lost his position at Inter Milan, where he was popular with fans and players, as a result of poor form in Europe.  His failed campaign in the Champions League was the first time a Premier League side went without a win – which means he may be feeling a bit of déjà-vu.  This is a fixture he’ll be wanting to win almost us much as the fixture that brought the league title to the club.
          Psychologically, you could argue that the league will have been won by United if they travel across town to take all three points.  With the upper hand in United’s favour points wise and City with their home record, we expect both sides to walk away with something to show for their spoils – expect a draw.
