Manchester City Vs. Manchester United Betting Odds
The odds are always against you when facing Pep Guardiola. A bet on Man Utd is worth 8.50 (15/2). Manchester City is a favourite by some distance, with the bookmakers from the UK offering 1.40 (2/5) on a win for the hosts. A draw is priced at 5.50 (9/2).
Manchester City has had a great season so far. The Citizens are currently second in the league, just a point behind Arsenal and top of the pile in the Champions League Group G. Manchester City has four wins in the last five games, dropping points once in a 1-1 draw away to Aston Villa.
The Sky Blues are very ruthless this season, scoring a league-high 23 goals in just seven Premier League games, with Erling Haaland being a key contributor. The Norwegian forward completed his move from Dortmund this summer and led the Golden boot chase with 11 league goals.
Man Utd
Manchester United recovered from a terrible start to the season. They are currently fifth in the league, six points off the top, having played one game less. The Red Devils have picked up four wins from their last five matches, losing just once.
Erik Ten Hag famously talked about ending the Pep-Klopp era in the Premier League. He guided his team to a 2-1 win over Klopp’s Liverpool this season and would be looking to get a good result against Guardiola’s City. Christian Eriksen was awarded Man Utd’s player of the month and would be vital for the Red Devils in this match.

Manchester City vs Manchester United Betting Tips and Predictions
Manchester City to Win & Both Teams to Score @ 2.60 (8/5)
Man City is in good goal-scoring form — they are averaging over three goals per game in the Premier League. The Citizens play much better than Man Utd, and there is a huge difference in quality between these sides, and City should outscore their rivals. Man Utd has scored in their last four Premier League games, so they should get a goal here. Backing Man City to win without a clean sheet is a good option in this game.
Erling Haaland to Score Anytime @ 1.50 (1/2)
There were doubts about Erling Haaland when he signed for Manchester City. His performances quickly dispelled those uncertainties. He has scored in six of seven Premier League games this season — averaging 1.57 goals per game. Haaland is the soccer bookies’ nightmare on goalscorer bets, and he’s expected to get on the score sheet again.
Over 3.5 Bookings @ 1.44 (4/9)
Derby days are always intense in the Premier League, especially the famous Manchester derby. City’s defensive highline system exposes them to counterattacks, and they commit a lot of tactical fouls resulting in yellow cards. Manchester United have received 20 yellow cards in just seven games. This game should produce a minimum of four bookings.
De Bruyne to Assist Anytime @ 2.25 (5/4)
Kevin De Bruyne is top of the assist charts in the Championship this season. He has bagged six assists in seven EPL games — assisting a goal in four consecutive games for Manchester City. The Belgian Midfielder also got an assist while on international duty and should get one in this match.
