Manchester United v Manchester City Betting Tips [25 April 2019]
The match
‘Manchester Derby’ couldn’t have come at a worse time for Manchester United, as they prepare for a Premier League encounter against Manchester City. The disappointment of crashing out of the Champions League quarter-final was compounded by a 4-0 thrashing at the hands of Everton, putting United’s hopes of making it to the top-four under threat. After an excellent start to life under Ole Gunnar Solskjaer, United have lost six of their last eight competitive matches (W2, L6). The 4-0 thrashing at Everton made it three losses in their last five Premier League games (W2, L3) for the Red Devils, who now have the joint-tenth worst defensive record in the season (48 goals conceded). City are on a high and are chasing Liverpool at the top of the table. Should they drop points in this ‘game in hand’, they will drop their leverage in the race to the Premier League title. However, they come into this game on the back of a ten-match winning streak in the league. In addition, they have won 14 of their last 15 league games (W14, L1). Away from home, the Citizens have won their last four, although they have lost three of their last nine Premier League trips (W6, L3).
Key Statistics
- Manchester United have lost five of their last seven Premier League home matches against Manchester City.
- In 76% of their Premier League matches, Manchester United have seen over 2.5 goals.
- Manchester City have kept a clean sheet in seven of their last nine Premier League matches.
The bet of our experts
Derbies generally throw form book out of the equation, but United’s form is too wretched to even think of that. The hosts are in the middle of some dire performances and manager Solskjaer is under pressure to improve instantly. City won’t be an easy nut, considering their own need to pick up full points. There should be goals in this encounter from the visitors, considering the poor defensive record of the hosts.
