Man Utd will look to carry the momentum of their Champions League victory into Sunday’s meeting with neighbours Man City at Old Trafford.
Man United vs Man City 29/10/23 Preview:
Their 1-0 win against Copenhagen in the Champions League on Tuesday was a night of poetic justice at Old Trafford.
Andre Onana made a string of fine saves including a 90th-minute penalty stop to help extend their winning run to three after Harry Maguire’s 72nd-minute goal.
Man City have recently lost back-to-back Premier League games but they still look in better shape having won seven of nine.
It’s also worth noting they’ve won five of the previous seven meetings and four of five against the Reds.
Scott McTominay, United’s top scorer with three goals, has spared their blushes in recent weeks.
His strikes have helped them see off Brentford and Sheffield United to climb to eight in the table, but that position should fool no one.
Forest, Brighton, Crystal Palace and Brentford scored five unanswered goals in the opening 25 minutes and it would be a crime to gift City such a start.
Given United’s slow start to games, Man City to lead at half-time could be a good bet.
Pep’s side have struck nine times in the opening 45 minutes of Premier League games while conceding just three.
When you break down United’s home form this season, it’s fair to say they’ve ridden their luck and could be winless.
Wolves were denied a clear penalty in injury time while Nottingham Forest led 2-0 before being reduced to 10 men in the second half.
It’s worth backing the visitors to win the game and the probability of over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring is high.
However, one worrying aspect of their away form is that they’ve conceded in each of their last seven.
From a betting perspective, both teams to score looks like a good starting point.
Both teams to score has landed in the last four meetings with those games producing a total of 20 goals.
Man City vs Man City 29/10/23 Prediction:
- Man City win and both teams to score
- Alvarez to score
- Man City lead at half-time
