Prediction, Odds & Betting tips for Manchester City vs. Manchester United at FA Cup
The Manchester Derby occurs this time in the FA Cup finals, with City and United going against one another in the battle for the trophy. Guardiola’s side has a chance to win the Treble, as they already took the Premier League trophy and are in the FA Cup and the Champions League finals. United won the EFL Cup and aims for another piece of silverware, but besides that, they want to beat the big rivals and gain some confidence ahead of the following year’s EPL race.
Manchester City
The Citizens are on a roll this year, particularly in the second part of the campaign that followed the World Cup in Qatar. We’ve seen them dropping just a few games, posting numerous records, and displaying super-efficient football.
Prior to the loss to Brentford this Sunday, the last defeat this unit suffered was in early February, with them failing in London to Tottenham, 1-0. In between, City didn’t lose in 25 straight events.
We don’t need to explain too much about how this team functions. De Bruyne is the brain, Gundogan is the heart, Haaland is the muscle, with all the other guys in the lineup, each having his precisely determined role.
Manchester United
The Red Devils had a roller-coaster season in which they showed some improvement but also a huge inconsistency in their performances. They were constantly going up and down before losing the pace some two months ago, suffering elimination from the UEFA Europa League and barely keeping the top-four place in the Premier League.
Ten Haag and United won the EFL trophy, and with this one, they could say that the season was a success, despite everything they encountered. Plus, a big boost would be a victory over City, their nemesis.
United isn’t playing well away from home, winning only three games in the past ten during the regulations and often failing to score. Just one event in the recent then this unit played on the road saw both teams netting, and seven saw under 2.5 hits.
Manchester City: Ederson; Walker, Dias, Akanji; Stones, Rodri; Silva, Gundogan, De Bruyne, Grealish; Haaland
Manchester United: De Gea; Shaw, Maguire, Lindelof, Malacia; Fernandes, Casemiro, McTominay; Sancho, Martial, Rashford
Manchester City was better in the first meeting this year, trashing the rivals 6-3 at the Etihad. The Red Devils responded by winning at the Old Trafford 2-1.
The Citizens are clear favorites not only for us but the entire world. They aren’t calculating anything in cases like this but go straight for the win. United has problems when playing away from home, which is another factor why we bet on Manchester City to win here.
Our verdict: Man City wins
