Can Guardiola’s Boys Bounce Back?

By their high standards, Man City have made a poor start to their Premier League campaign, collecting just three points from a possible nine. It started well, as City won 4-0 at Wolverhampton Wanderers, but Pep Guardiola’s men have gone on to suffer back-to-back defeats.

On matchday two, Man City lost 2-0 at home to Tottenham Hotspur. City were then beaten by Brighton & Hove Albion at the Amex Stadium, letting a lead slip to lose 2-1. As a consequence, they languish in 13^th place after three matches.

Man United have taken four points from nine on offer and occupy ninth place in the Premier League table. The Red Devils are still recovering from last term’s horror show, as they finished 15^th on just 42 points.

Having narrowly lost to Arsenal and drawn 1-1 at Fulham, Man United picked up their first victory of the season before the international break. Bruno Fernandes’ last-gasp penalty gave Ruben Amorim’s troops a 3-2 home win against Burnley.

Manchester City vs Manchester United Betting Odds

Despite their recent woes, Man City are the clear favourites to see off their rivals on Sunday. Guardiola’s wounded superstars are available at 1.76 to seal a much-needed three points.

Man United would love to build on the Burnley win with a positive result at their rivals’ home, but this is a tough assignment for Amorim and his boys. You can get 4.10 for the away win, while the draw is priced at 3.95.

Recent Manchester City vs Manchester United Head-to-Head Meetings

The last meeting was a drab 0-0 draw at Old Trafford, but the game at the Etihad last December was anything but. Man City were on their way to three points, but Fernandes scored a late penalty to level the match. Right at the death, Amad Diallo netted to give Man United a 2-1 away win.

Man City’s recent record in this fixture has not been great, winning just two of the previous five. However, they did beat their neighbours in last year’s FA Community Shield game at Wembley Stadium.

Manchester City vs Manchester United Betting Tips & Predictions

Man City are eager to bounce back after the recent defeats, and they should edge this one on home turf. The home win and over 2.5 goals is worth a punt at 2.45.

Erling Haaland is in red-hot form, scoring nine goals in five appearances for club and country this term. Fresh from netting six for Norway in the international break, Haaland is available at 1.80 to score anytime on Sunday.
